The customer support is greatly impressive. I like that indeed. The fact that it is cost effective is also another point to note.

Like

With Data Archive, we can easily remove all unused personal data. This effectively helps to reduce privacy risks

Like

The software works very well and is very cost-effective. We have few issues with it operationally, and most issues are small and can be solved quickly. It is inexpensive compared to the amount of money we've saved archiving legacy data and decommissioning applications.

Dislike

Data Archive did not show any dissapointment since using it.

Dislike

I am completely satisfied with the performance of the product. It works effectively

Dislike

The implementation staff that did our install was not as familiar with the software as others in Informatica. Their management made the situation right, but we still experienced delays in getting the system operational because of this issue.

    Recently we have installed, configured and did POC on Informatica ILM with the help of Informatica support. Later we deployed ILM solution in our environment. The support and co ordination was good. The tool has lot of capabilities to support the organization's data archiving policy.

    The vendor was really knowledgeable about their product and the applications we were looking to retire. The implementation team was good to work with and made the implementation pretty easy. In the future, they may want to gain more knowledge regarding applications that may be a bit more difficult to retire, such as Meditech.
