Informatica Cloud Data Quality Reviews & Product Details

I am impressed by Informatica's product integration (e.g. PC 'talks' to PWX and IDQ etc) as well as the robust OOTB content for cleansing rules, reference data and industry specific validation rules. The IDQ Developer tool has productivity and debugging features such as mid-stream profiling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside to IDQ is the relative cost to other tools. As a consultant, I find that many clients just cannot justify the Informatica price tag $$ and often chose an open source solution. They later discover the cost of coding the transformation rules from scratch outrun the cost of INFA license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Informatica works really well for taking data from one source to another, no matter what the sources are - database, flatfile, mainframe, Unix, windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a lot of effort to learn how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the option of building all data rules in a centralized location and then applying it to numerous data sources. Makes it easier to update as business rules change/evolve over a period of time. Data lineage and score carding are also good feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does take some time and training to get use to all of data quality and governance tool. There is a learning curve period for resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The correction of equations and methods have worked out pretty well with IDQ when it comes to manual data entry, as it has allowed us to have a proper interpretation of the results. It is really helpful when you want to blend with current ETL mapping regulations and also provide added value by some quality control statements. Also, it allows you to look at the data in real-time, as the data quality algorithm tests and performs the specific rules after building the job by developing a Navigation window to instantly update and access the data. For reliable and immaculate results, IDQ assisted us by identifying inaccurate accounting information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was difficult for us to export wrong record tables and redundant tables. Also, you probably will need a very powerful hardware to be able to use IDQ properly, as it takes a lot of resources from your computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IDQ has extreme flexibility in how you create rules to identify what is out of compliance. No matter how complex your rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not the cheapest solution, but at this time I believe it is the best solution. Knowing your customers and accurately managing them justify getting the best product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that this program is able to deliver the data we have quickly and efficiently. It really helps with processing the data and creating reports. The address validation algorithm makes it so much simpler than if we had to do this manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really do not have any dislikes. I feel like with time this application will make improvements as they see fit. From what I have heard from division administrators within my workplace I think this product may be on the pricier side, but I do believe that you get what you pay for!

very lengthy process to run the workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUIs are well designed and it does not take a terribly high amount of effort to set up data transformations that are fairly simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More complex transformations can be hard to set up and debug. I'd also like to see better speed with some of the transformations or maybe some tools to optimize the speed of the transformations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
