Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."They also offer automated lineage embedded in the connectors, allowing us to track where the data is coming from and where it's going. We find it very efficient in cataloging data sources. Additionally, the user-friendly interface is a big plus, making it easy for users to familiarize themselves with the solution. These two features, in my opinion, stand out the most."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The product is stable."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"There are some improvements. There is a feature called Playbooks, which basically allows me to automate certain activities that would otherwise be manual. It's a very interesting feature, but there is room to improve it because, depending on the task you automate, the playbooks seem to have a hard time handling the task. So, it could be improved there. Even though it's a great feature, it can evolve further."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"Informatica Axon needs to improve its interface."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools to streamline the operation."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
