Overall Satisfaction with Informatica MDM

In an era, to manage the load of data collected from clients and other sources. Managing this data manually has been tedious and time-consuming. My team uses Informatica to save on cost & time for the management of data collected in our cloud. We use it to merge and track reference IDs collected from files and tags. Similarly, we use it as a relationship roadmap within the team.

Pros

  • Manage and track reference data of files (i.e. tags, title, comments, date of creation, file size, & more).
  • Talmbout drawing lineage between system; informatica does it neat!
  • It enables easy access to checking and editing mappings
  • It has a great tone of complementing other stacks well.
  • Stores excellently: Master data from different sources
  • Has Hub console useful for both developers & data stewards.

Cons

  • Complex installation process
  • Scanty manual on modification
  • Not suitable for automated single-task management for end users
  • Initialization is time consuming
  • Improved visualization
  • Metadata Management
  • Relationship Mapping.
  • Data match & merge
  • 360 degree view
  • Time saving
  • Saved cost on some third party operations
  • Effective drag and drop.
  • Not so negative, but it has made us change some of our processing units, as it lags on low RAM
Whereas Informatica MDM is a complete package and very good software to draw lineage between systems, we on our team have earlier tried TDF. In contrast, Informatica has a better visual all around, strong metadata management, cool relationship mapping, and top of it: efficient customer service. Likewise, TDF has better access control, data capture & transfer, as well as data capturing.

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.
