Activepieces vs. Informatica Cloud Data Quality

We used Informatica Data Quality to measure the "Data Quality Score" of internal and external reports at my company. Business users set up data profiling and prepared detailed analysis documents for business analysts. and developers developed Data Quality Mapplets for other IT teams to import their Informatica Power Center repositories. Results are stored in a centralized data quality space and then reported and summarized to related business users in detailed ways. At the end of each project, we are now able to place a "Data Quality Score" watermark score on each report involved.

• Watch the data real time- After creating the job the data quality engine checks and run the custom rules creating a navigation window at the bottom for review and accessing the data right away.
• Character Set Mapping
• Makes sense of our own data, which in turn gives us confidence that we can provide to the end users. IDQ helped us with erroneous data in accounting and HR for accurate and immaculate reports

• Several partnerships diminishing the value of technologies
• Unable to get list of objects from Repository (like sources & targets) that don't have any dependency
• Scheduling: The built-in scheduling tool has many constraints such as handling Unix/VB scripts etc. Most enterprises use third party tools for this.

I gave a rating of 8 due to the fact that we use Informatica for both our data quality product and ETL product. Having both integrated makes it so much easier. Microsoft had a similar product of finding duplicates, but at the time it didn't seem mature enough. The usability also in IDQ was pretty easy to navigate and use.

Easy to use not only for developers but also business users
