Informatica MDM is a complete MDM solution, from ingestion to data exposition. This tool helps us in gathering customer data, and also it makes it possible for us to support our customers relationships and build customer-related strategies to improve their experience which helps to drive sales geometry and growth and customers satisfaction. On the other hand of price is relatively competitive.

It is a robust software with great management and data model. It can be difficult to learn how to use and deploy the first time but the mapping and features work very well and have optimized our productivity and cost savings. We can customize reports, create rules and integrate with other applications. Overall I recommend it.

MDM is very helpful in places we are dealing with a large amount of data and we need to filter out redundant and duplicate values. It is very helpful when we need to populate data on third party solutions. We can filter out, pull, push the data according to our need on various integration. This solution is best and helps in driving the revenue growth. The automation provided in doing task is very helpful and saves lot of time

If you just need something basic, this could do well for you however once you start finding that you have more needs, the issues start to show. In my opinion the UI needs help and that alone is a problem for me as it makes the whole system feel and behave poorly.

Informatica MDM is well suited in various scenarios such as it helps in managing overall organization data and provides data consistency and reliability. It provides 360-degree relationship between suppliers, customers and products. Informatica MDM acts as a 'data as a service' and provides high scalability and security.
Informatica MDM can be less appropriate where we have lot of mislabeled data and inconsistent records.

We have used Informatica MDM since the beginning of our project, and I can tell you from my experience it is one of the best MDM tools out there in the market. Not only does it store your master data which comes from different sources, but also it performs data cleansing also on inconsistent data. And one of the most highlighted features is its core component, that’s the hub console, not only useful for developers but for data stewards also with an easy-to-use UI and feature-leveraged functionality. This software is packed with lots of features, so let me highlight a few of them here: 1) Data insertion feature, you can either load data in batches or in real-time. 2) We can not only task manual but also we can automate the many tasks from the batch group. 3) SIF API is the most useful feature when it comes to connecting with middleware software or external applications.

Software of Meta era

From use, Informatica MDM is the appropriate software for mid-to-large-sized companies. They will find the software efficient & effective when: they need to expose API in both SOAP & REST, to facilitate easy operation of users on the application. Similarly, it features the ability to master data, implement rules, and make changes to the system to suit the end user. It follows that, In a meta era like now, Informatica is a solid metadata management tool. Very good software is not compatible with all company sizes, and so is the case of Informatica. It is not suitable for small-size companies that do not log large data, as they'd not maximize the potential of the software.

After evaluating solutions from several vendors, including Informatica, Alation, Collibra, and Talend, the team decided to use Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog to classify and document data from its Cloudera cloud data warehouse and other critical sources. With better documentation of datasets in one central place, Banco ABC employees have more clarity into where the data comes from, who owns it, and whether it meets their needs.

If you have other Informatica products in your infrastructure, for example, AXON for Data Governance, and Entity 360 you can have better MDM usability. One of the most useful advantages is that the repositories can be stored in the cloud through connectors with the destination database, as long as there is a good transfer speed and confidence in the security of the data in the cloud. I would recommend using hybrid clouds and not trying your luck with critical or sensitive data (GDPR) The overall experience has been good. On many occasions, it is a bit complicated to use and we have had to go to support without the response obtained being very satisfactory. I am not recommended for critical data or decision data in a bank.

If your environment is clean and well organized, but at the same time has many application domains with their own data sources, Informatica MDM can be a really good factor in maintaining "single points of truth" for all this data. However, the more application domains you have, the less "clean" your environment becomes. If your application domain landscape consists of multiple technologies (C#, Oracle, JAVA, web-based, windows services, console apps, third-party tools, etc), your environment becomes a real nightmare to maintain unless you implement a service-oriented approach. And this is where Informatica MDM fails completely since it promotes a "point to point" scenario.
At least this is my experience. It could be that Informatica MDM supports a service-oriented approach, but I have not seen this. I could be that the developers in my organization who have expert Informatica MDM knowledge are just more "point to point" oriented. But even if that is the case, it's a valid argument against Informatica MDM, since it's already hard enough to find developers who are dedicated to this product, it becomes impossible to find SOA oriented developers.

For organizations where their data mastering is fairly standard and requires very little customization, Informatica Cloud MDM is an excellent solution. I believe in this scenario, the organization should be able to 'hit the ground running'. However, if your organization requires a highly customizable solution for your data mastering, prepare yourself for a long dev cycle. I'm not saying that Informatica Cloud MDM would not work for these organizations because it is working for us. What I am saying is be cautiously optimistic about the time it will take for you to implement the solution.

As I have mentioned if an organization lives and breaths in the Salesforce.com platform this is one of the best packages to have for creating golden records. If the organizations are less dependent on Salesforce, I don't see much use of Informatica Cloud MDM.

I think Informatica Master Data Management is well suited for identifying the best version of the truth for master data. It provides a means to easily set trust and validation of multiple source systems to fine tune the resultant master data. It is by far a leader in the master data management space.
