Users of Informatica Data Quality, or IDQ, have found the software to be highly effective in addressing various data quality challenges. One key use case is the validation of customer and vendor addresses, ensuring that there are no duplicates and verifying consistency in product descriptions.

This democratization of integrations enables self-service capabilities and empowers users to easily scale up or down to accommodate different workloads without impacting performance.

This allows users to identify and resolve quality issues that can potentially impact business initiatives.

Informatica Data Quality is a tool that supports business users (non-technical) and developers(technical) in an equal way. It can be enhanced through the customization of rules and policies, and supports seamless integration with Informatica Power Center, with the help of Informatica Data Quality Mapplets. These mapplets can be imported to Informatica Power Center, and can be used within the Data Integration Process.
Data profiling can also be made within the tool, and profiling results give you insight into the data that you are about to use to perform a data quality operation.
However, the more data you profile, the more memory and CPU it needs.
  • It performs quality Data Profiling operations.
  • A web-based data quality check (without the need for any client tool installation).
  • Seamless integration with other Informatica products.
  • Ease of use (2 days of training for profiling, 4 days for intermediate development, and 4 days for advanced development skills).
  • A hardware monster.
  • Needs easier security.
  • Could provide easier administration.
  • Needs easier installation steps.
We used Informatica Data Quality to measure the "Data Quality Score" of internal and external reports at my company. Business users set up data profiling and prepared detailed analysis documents for business analysts. and developers developed Data Quality Mapplets for other IT teams to import their Informatica Power Center repositories. Results are stored in a centralized data quality space and then reported and summarized to related business users in detailed ways.
At the end of each project, we are now able to place a "Data Quality Score" watermark score on each report involved.

Customer creation process - using web services for matching and address cleansing. Managing exception record management for both bad and duplicate record management. Currently using across the organization for scorecarding to cover DQ problems.
  • It's a great tool for profiling and score carding and cleansing bad data
  • Matching, standardization, address doctor, exception record management
  • Data services, web services, entity discovery, show lineage
  • Scorecard export functionality for bad records - and it only displays the first 100 records
  • There are no filtering conditions on scorecarding
  • In IDD we cannot import bad record tables or duplicate records table as we did it in 9.1
  • Profiling results should be displayed in charting mode, as with other tools
Quality check can be done across all environments but my suggestion would be that before the start of any project, the source systems must be analysed for data quality. It is much more cost-efficient to do data cleanup before the project begins.

Informatica is used to integrate to various applications like Salesforce, SAP etc. with Oracle and SQL databases. It's used by various departments across the Americas. It helps to optimize the data for various reporting tools.
  • Fact & multi-dimensional loading
  • Tracking Changes in slowly changing dimensions
  • Integration of data from SAP and Salesforce is better with this ETL tool compared to other tools in the market
  • Modularity
  • Several partnerships diminishing the value of technologies
  • Unable to get list of objects from Repository (like sources & targets) that don't have any dependency
  • Scheduling: The built-in scheduling tool has many constraints such as handling Unix/VB scripts etc. Most enterprises use third party tools for this.
Informatica Data Quality provides all projects and initiatives with clean, high-quality data regardless of size, data format, platform, or technology. Less appropriate in scheduling IDQ jobs where needs to rely on third party tool. Key significance in selection process is about the efficiency of usage of tool in long term with reasonable over-head cost.

Power of IDQ

IDQ is being used across our organization. Specifically, we use IDQ for contact and address validation. As part of the sales and marketing domain, we need to enrich data for better campaigns. IDQ is a key player in accomplishing this process for us. We are using the Address Doctor engine for our standardization. Address Doctor standardizes contacts and addresses.
  • IDQ'S Delivery Point validation is very powerful and many competitive tools don't provide this
  • IDQ supports WGS 84 geocoding standards
  • IDQ validate addresses up to to a very high degree of accuracy
  • IDQ doesn't support heavy duty data integration
It is suited more on real time integration.

IDQ is used by a department at my organisation to ensure and enhance the data quality. We started with address standardization and now it had been brought to a next level of quality check where it fixes duplicates, junk characters, standardize the names, streets, product descriptions. In the past we had issues mainly with duplicate customers and products and this was affecting sales projections and estimates.
  • Better compatibility with PowerCenter. This way you can do mix- match with existing mapping rules in ETL and also value add with quality check and exception reporting
  • Address Doctor - Optimize the accuracy of your company's global address data by using the only software with all five postal certifications in one engine. It parses, cleanses, and standardizes it, then appends accurate geocodes and consumer segmentation codes for specific countries
  • Watch the data real time- After creating the job the data quality engine checks and run the custom rules creating a navigation window at the bottom for review and accessing the data right away.
  • I think its high time Informatica integrated all tools like PowerCenter, IDQ, IDE, powerexhange into one package will simplify development and maintenance
Customer address mismatch and bad quality is a global mess. I have strong knowledge of this topic and have had consistent issues with the customer addresses, names product names, codes, statuses etc. Address Doctor and duplicate check was the biggest boon for me and my organisation to overcome this hurdle. Before using IDQ, it was all manual and it was very difficult and time consuming which added a lot of cost to the projects.
