Informatica Named a 2022 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Data Masking
Informatica Chosen to Protect Sensitive Data, Enabling Trusted Data Sharing
It’s a key challenge for chief data officers (CDOs) at modern organizations everywhere. How can they assure the trustworthiness of data? Many of them start by looking for trustworthy partners. Vendors with a track record of integrated data management capabilities that help build trust. And data governance spans multiple disciplines from data cataloging to data mastering. To make the CDO’s short list, you must meet broad data stewardship requirements for the complex use cases that generate enterprise value.
Data management success relies on more than best-in-class products. These products must interoperate seamlessly to accelerate time to value. After all, if you’re mired in IT integration projects, you don’t have a lot of time to generate value from critical data-driven workloads. Whether scaling out data cataloging for DataOps or expanding on data quality, trusted data is foundational at each step. To accelerate sharing data intelligence, the data needs to be democratized for use. That’s the best way to empower data consumers to drive successful, trusted business outcomes.
That is why we are so excited that our customers have recognized informatica as a Customers’ Choice in the 2022 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer: Data Masking report, giving us an overall rating of (4.3 of 5), based on 47 reviews as of April, 2022.
We believe this distinction describes our customers' feedback about their experiences and expectations from Informatica Cloud Data Masking and Cloud Test Data Management. Data trust is enabled by working with protected, private, information — making data masking critical to a wide range of proper and safe uses that align to enterprise policies. And with data security that interoperates as a powerful extension of Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC), our customers have the best of all worlds.
Why is Data Security Important in the Cloud?
When migrating workloads to the cloud, data security is critical. To deliver the value creation opportunities that data consumers expect, you must be able to protect and secure trusted data both on premises and in the cloud. You cannot lose privacy and compliance controls simply because applications are now deployed cloud native. Fortunately, organizations using Informatica Cloud Data Masking and Cloud Test Data Management benefit in important ways.
- Best in class data protection capabilities to accelerate trusted data sharing
- Integrated cloud data governance and privacy to help manage proper exposure
- Seamless integration that accelerates time to value when expanding use cases.
Let’s take a closer look at what this means in practice.
Integrated Data Masking vs. Silo Solutions
Organizations have many choices when considering cloud data protection and there is no shortage of competent solutions available. But what differentiates Informatica and delights data stewards is the ability to seamlessly enable highly rated data masking capabilities within the broader framework of a world-class metadata management solution. In this way, data protection is not an afterthought, but a transparent aspect of broader DataOps initiatives.
Data masking that accelerates time to value for data use helps you more quickly realize the endgame of helping put safeguarded data in the hands of data consumers across the organization, rather than increasing data exposure risks that result from misuse or loss. Informatica customers that are already on a cloud modernization journey benefit with a one-stop shop on IDMC that makes it easy to integrate data masking.
But let’s take a closer look at what our customers have to say in the latest Gartner Peer Insights: Voice of the Customer for Cloud Data Masking and Test Data Management.
