"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."

"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
