Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, Collibra and others in Metadata Management."The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The solution scales well."
"We can scan anything."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"Offers data lineage feature"
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its ease of use. We do not depend on any tool to develop it. Everything is on the browser and is easy to integrate, even for someone who does not understand a lot about coding."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors."
"It is a scalable solution."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
"The scalability is tough."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"Lacks features for more complex integrations."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."
"It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service."
"The solution is expensive."
"The logging capabilities could be enhanced. Currently, logs are only retained for a few days, which can be inconvenient for administrators. Ideally, we'd like the option to configure log retention periods, like a month or fifteen days, instead of the current one-week limit."
"If an inbound file is larger than one GB, it cannot be transformed within Oracle."
"The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM."
