The use case includes data masking regarding GDPR. I developed resources for masking data around a hundred of them. Then, I applied the masking tool, mostly on SQL Server data It helped when we were moving data from production to test environments. Due to internal policies, we couldn't directly…

It's similar to Data Masking, but it focuses on simulating test data. We can simulate the data instead of using the actual process for testing Organizations working on different projects can benefit from this tool. It helps simulate and provide test data for testing purposes. Probably the ideal…

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"The tool enabled us to leverage Teradata Parallel Transporter to write the masked data efficiently to our Teradata warehouse."
"Organizations working on different projects can benefit from this tool."
"Informatica Test Data Management is a complete solution. I'm not very deep in the technical aspect of the solution, but most of the workflows are now completely automated. There are some minor elements where we have to still add manual parts to the implementation."

Room for Improvement

"The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go."
"Probably the ideal time testing site, utilizing self-service for real-time testing, could be an area for improvement."
"Informatica has a data governance suite, and at the moment, there is no connection between the data governance elements, such as the data catalog, and the Informatica Test Data Management software. For example, the data discovery which is part of both solutions is two separate things. If you have a data discovery in the data catalog, then we cannot use it for Informatica Test Data Management purposes and vice versa. The same software vendor, has two different products, with the same functionality. There's was no need to separate things. This is something which was a problem in a use case of the customer where this was the reason why they didn't choose the Informatica solution."
