Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, TIBCO, Reltio and others in Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions."It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"The solution's most valuable features are its data quality, match-merge engine, and CLAIRE AI engine, which helps with AI automation."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"We can see all our information on a single screen."
"The most valuable feature is that the rule set is managed and that it can be run on a regularly scheduled basis."
"The policies that come prepackaged in the tool have been very valuable to us. They're accurate and they provide good guidance as to why the policy was created, as well as how to remediate anything that violates the policy."
"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is the CSPM, which we use the most. Additionally, the investigation and alerts are useful, and the creation of queries."
"The most valuable features of Prisma Cloud are its cloud security posture management and cloud workload protection capabilities."
"Prisma Cloud's inventory reporting is pretty good."
"It has helped us understand the dynamic topology of our containers, and manage security through the application of policies that our pipelines apply straight from Git."
"The application visibility is amazing. For example, sometimes we don't know what a particular custom port is for and what is running on it. The visibility enables us to identify applications, what the protocol is, and what service is behind it. Within Azure, it is doing a great job of providing visibility. We know exactly what is passing through our network. If there is an issue of any sort we are able to quickly detect it and fix the problem."
"I like Palo Alto's threat protection and Wi-Fi coverage. It has advanced features like DNS security and sandboxing. The automation capabilities are excellent."
"Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"The user interface can be a bit more functionality-aligned."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"The area for improvement is less about the product and more about the upsell. If we've already agreed that we'd like your product x, y, or z, don't try to add fries to my burger. I don't need it."
"The IM security has room for improvement."
"This solution is more AWS and Azure-centric. It needs to be more specific on the GCP side, which they are working on."
"Getting new guys trained on using the solution requires some thought. If someone is already trained on Palo Alto then he's able to adapt quickly. But, if someone is coming from another platform such as Fortinet, or maybe he's from the system side, that is where we need some help. We need to find out if there is an online track or training that they can go to."
"The pricing for the solution needs improvement."
"Based on my experience, the customization—especially the interface and some of the product identification components—is not as customizable as it could be. But it makes up for that with the fact that we can access the API and then build our own systems to read the data and then process and parse it and hand it to our teams."
"I would like to see the inclusion of automated counter-attack, although this is probably illegal."
"The dashboard can be created at the user level instead of the cloud account level, which will help save time."
