Find out in this report how the two Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are it is cloud-enabled and has all the elements that are supposed to have in terms of MDM as a solution. All the features that are there. It is very well-integrated with any of the SAP and non-SAP applications. It is quite user-friendly. The user experience that you receive in Informatica MDM is quite good."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"The solution doesn't directly connect to any of the analytical tools."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"The advertising makes promises about data analytics that it does not keep."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
