Informatica Data Archive (legacy) Reviews & Insights

Informatica ILM is a powerful data processing tool that is used by the analytics and big data team. ILM allows the team to manage, process, and curate large chunks of data. The team also uses ILM to ensure that the right data is available to the right people in the right format at the right time.

For a large organisation that needs to carefully monitor and manage data usage, ILM is a very effective tool. ILM becomes even more useful if you are already set up with Informatica PowerCenter. Informatica Application ILM definitely broadens the use cases of PowerCenter when they are used in an environment together.

Informatica Application ILM is being piloted by one of our Data Scientist teams, to determine if the product meets the current business need for managing and processing large amounts of real-estate data. We use other services currently but since we have worked with Informatica PowerCenter for ETL development and management the company wished to explore the ILM suite as a new option, hoping for synergy between the various products.

It is fantastic for dealing with large pools of data. If you have only a tiny subset of information, our current POC would seem to indicate that you would be better served with a different product. This is not for small number crunching or the like; this is a tool for massive amounts of data.
