Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management.""It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market.""The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company.""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.""The data quality component is very good.""It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects.""The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."

"One good feature is that SAS MDM comes bundled with the entire stack so we are in a position to place it with the client. So when a client wants an analytics tool plus BI, and they want to bring in other elements, that is when we look to MDM, because it is a single vendor."

Cons
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic.""The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement.""We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer.""We currently have issues with real-time integration.""Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity.""Data integration should be improved.""Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting.""Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."

More Informatica MDM Cons →

"The initial setup was slightly complex. We did face a couple of issues such as the SAML integration not being very smooth. And linking communication with the metadata server was a bit of a challenge. Eventually, we were able to configure it properly."

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."
