The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable.""The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing.

"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them.""The product seems stable enough.""The solution scales well.""The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best.""I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar.""I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."

Cons
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year.""There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market.""There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking.""There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow.""Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors.""They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect.""The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle.""Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."

More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Cons →

"The solution is quite expensive.""Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface.""Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility.""It is not easy to set up and configure the tool.""It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
  • "They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
  • "The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
  • "This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
  • "The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
  • "When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
  • "The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "Approximately 20k annually."

  • "I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
  • "I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
