Informatica from Salesforce, a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, today announced that it has been recognized once again as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Augmented Data Quality Solutions. This marks the 18th time Informatica has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant, reflecting the company’s recognition for both "Ability to Execute" and "Completeness of Vision."

Informatica’s data quality capabilities are embedded within its Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform, a comprehensive, AI-powered, cloud-native platform designed to deliver trusted, high-quality data across complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The IDMC platform’s Cloud Data Quality (CDQ) service, combined with Informatica Data as a Service for address, email and phone verification, enables organizations to maintain accurate and reliable data at scale.

Powered by the CLAIRE® AI engine, IDMC leverages advanced metadata-driven intelligence to automate data quality management, including rule generation, anomaly detection and issue remediation. Recent enhancements such as Real-time Data Quality and Data Quality Agent further improve the reach and accelerate implementations.

Gartner states: “Augmented data quality solutions detect and fix errors, remove duplicates, standardize formats, and validate data so it can be trusted for business operations, reporting and decision making. The research helps D&A leaders understand these AI-enhanced solutions to make better purchasing decisions.”

“Ensuring data quality and observability is critical to unlock the full potential of modern AI, including GenAI and agentic systems, as well as advanced analytics,” stated Brett Roscoe, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Data Governance and Cloud Operations at Informatica. “With the power of our CLAIRE AI engine, we streamline the detection and resolution of data quality challenges at scale, empowering organizations to confidently leverage their data for transformative AI-driven outcomes. This recognition as a Leader, combined with our extensive global partner network, we believe reflects our dedication to driving innovation and delivering real value to our customers.”
