"I do find Informatica Data Quality is stable. It generally maintains a high level of reliability and stability, making it an asset."
"The profiling feature in Informatica Data Quality is incredibly effective for data governance."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects. If you go for IDQ in the mapping itself, you can see the data. You can then correct it, and test it so easily. It is working fine. It is also stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."
"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 am impressed by the solution's interface."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"The Data Cleansing and the scorecard dashboard are very valuable. Additionally, the financial aspect of SAP Information Steward is very good. When a rule is incorrect then it will show how much is it costing the business. These features are very valuable."
"The solution is very fast."
"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."
"The data profiling was excellent, as was the ease of generating the dashboards."
"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"Data insight is the most valuable feature."
"Exploring the possibility of incorporating AI capabilities that can suggest additional rules would significantly streamline our data analysis process following data profiling."
"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."
"Although we are very satisfied with the design of the UI, executing tasks with it can be difficult."
"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"Considering internal data from legacy systems, it is quite difficult to know if Informatica Data Quality meets that high level of accuracy criteria."
"It can be improved in terms of performance and execution. I'm expecting better performance. It currently has some restrictions in terms of execution. For example, if we want to run it in the command mode and execute it, there are some restrictions, and we are facing some issues with a huge volume of data. These restrictions are not there in Informatica PowerCenter because we are able to execute a huge volume of data, and there are more ways to execute it."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."
"Performance could be improved."
"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."
"Granularity could be reduced from an application level to the object level."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."
"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
"The support team is not very responsive."
