Informatica limits you.
FME gives you the Power of Choice.
The Salesforce acquisition of Informatica brings uncertainty, from roadmap changes to rising costs and vendor lock-in. FME gives you freedom, stability, and transparency to move forward on your terms.
Take Back Control.
Own Your Data.
Choose Your Future.
Freedom from Lock-In.
Don’t let your vendor decide where your data lives. With FME, you have the freedom to deploy anywhere: cloud, on-premises, or hybrid, without being forced into a single path.
Built to Adapt
With FME, there are no forced migrations. While others push customers toward cloud-only options, FME lets you decide where and how you deploy.
Deploy on Your Terms
FME keeps you in control with flexible, vendor-agnostic deployments built to fit your strategy, not someone else’s.
Transparent Pricing
We have redefined what a subscription model should be, offering choice and clarity instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. You get full access to the platform from Day 1 with no add-ons, no hidden fees, and no per-user pricing.
Clarity Over Complexity
While competitors rely on usage-based credits and variable pricing, we keep things simple and consistent. Every plan includes unlimited web users, enabling collaborative access at no additional cost.
Value That Scales With You
Your deployment options, growth needs, and data practices can evolve, but your pricing remains predictable and built around the value you get, not the volume you use.
All-Data, Any-AI
FME is the only All-Data, Any-AI platform that connects your data across all data velocities, locations, and types.
Simplify Data Integration
From databases and APIs to cloud services, IoT, CAD, BIM, and geospatial systems, FME simplifies integration with a no-code interface that empowers teams to build and automate workflows.
Powerful Spatial Data Capabilities
FME supports complex geometries, coordinate systems, and 3D point clouds, helping organizations simplify their data journey and accelerate digital transformation.

Aren S.
“I like how FME handles messy data without any struggle. I can pull information from different places and clean it in one flow which saves a lot of time. The visual layout helps me understand each step so even tough workflows feel manageable.”
