Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen.""The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management.""It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship.""We can see all our information on a single screen.""MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7.""It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status.""It has flexibility in extending the data model.""This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities."

More Informatica MDM Pros →

"A great product enrichment tool.""The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable.""The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."

More Informatica PIM Pros →

"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool.""The initial setup is easy and straightforward.""The tool's UI is good and easy to understand.""It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The product is extremely flexible.""The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server.""This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable.""The data quality is very good."

Cons
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data.""The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old.""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.""Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough.""The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools.""Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model.""It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex.""We currently have issues with real-time integration."

More Informatica MDM Cons →

"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed.""Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals.""Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."

More Informatica PIM Cons →

"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved.""The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options.""In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data.""Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better.""We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product.""The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust.""The design should be easier and more visual.""The documentation needs improvement."

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."

  • "We switched to Informatica PIM because it was cheaper than the Oracle solution. It is cheaper initially, but they will bundle it later. This is what happens in the industry."
  • More Informatica PIM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
  • "TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
  • "This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
  • "The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
  • "TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
