Q&A Highlights
Question: Informatica MDM or Hybris PCM? Buy vs. Build?
Answer: I have participate in two customer integration projects for financial sector. First was connected with custom MDM, second was Informatica MDM implementation. If you plan build own MDM solution you have consider: - integration with current architecture (bulk loading via MDM, real-time integration via ESB) - use data quality tool for information matching (ex QualityStage or IDQ) - data steward interface Commercial MDM give you these elements implemented. If you choose Informatica MDM you have to prepare data model (it is not included) and generate services. Of course, if you would like to setup complex processes, you have to prepare java code that create transactions basing on CRUD services. In IBM implementation (MDM Enterprise) you have got data model and services which you can customize. Even if you choose commercial MDM implementation - it is good to have Java skills (JEE welcomed)

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status.""I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution.""The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution.""New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded.""The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are its reliability, match functions, and integration capabilities. The out-of-box functionality of deduplication and built-in data models ensure faster implementation.""Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability.""I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."

"Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain."

Cons
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old.""The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point.""The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new.""If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it.""I feel the out-of-the-box APIs or the API management could be improved slightly from their current state. It could be more user-friendly.""Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities.""Compared to other tools in the market, Informatica MDM is costly.""I think they should work really hard on UI."

"They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work with. They could streamline it with new technology."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
  • "It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
  • "It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
  • "Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
  • "There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
  • "It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
  • "Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
  • "Informatica MDM's price could be lower."

    I was part of evaluating several vendors for MDM program at my company and after technically evaluating each of them, Informatica was the choice. It doesn't make sense to build one as the tools available in the market are sufficient to satisfy the needs of MDM program. please let me know if you need help with vendor evaluation, RFP, implementation strategy etc..
