Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I give the stability a ten out of ten.""The most valuable features are data quality, data integrate transformations, match-merge, and a few MDM solutions we build into data quality transformation.""Seeing the data in the mapping itself is really nice.""The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance.""The user interface is flexible and the visibility of the data flow is amazing.""There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data.""I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset.""We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."

Cons
"The customer servive and support could be faster. There is a slow turnaround.""The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available.""Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria.""One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises.""Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that.""Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult.""The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration.""Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
