More IBM Master Data Management on Cloud Pros →

"It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects.""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.""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.""MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7.""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.""Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good.""I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have.

Cons
"The solution is continually being improved by adding features. They should continue to improve the solution in the future."

More IBM Master Data Management on Cloud Cons →

"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new.""We currently have issues with real-time integration.""From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials.""Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence.""Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity.""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.""Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved.""Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
