We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status.""Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options.""I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen.""​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them.""The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature.""The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature.""We've used the solution for quite some time, so in our organization, the product is pretty mature.""The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are it is cloud-enabled and has all the elements that are supposed to have in terms of MDM as a solution. All the features that are there. It is very well-integrated with any of the SAP and non-SAP applications. It is quite user-friendly. The user experience that you receive in Informatica MDM is quite good."

"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface.""The data modeling is very good.""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.""The API and the data model are very valuable features.""The data quality is very good.""This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable.""The product is extremely flexible.""There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."

Cons
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex.""Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting.""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.""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.""I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required.""Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough.""Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support.""This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."

More Informatica MDM Cons →

"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX.""The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved.""TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust.""The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options.""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.""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.""The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."

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."

  • "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."
