Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The data quality component is very good.""Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability.""The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs.""Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good.""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.""Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value.""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. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems.""The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."

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

Cons
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming.""Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough.""Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support.""The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep.""New machine learning could be added to Informatica MDM because the solution is outdated and is not moving with the current trends. The solution is good, but it definitely needs a lot of improvement and needs to speed up as per the market.""I think they should work really hard on UI.""Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data.""Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."

More Informatica MDM Cons →

"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version.""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.""They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."

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."
