Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."
"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."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"We can scan anything."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"It is UI friendly and has all the advantages of an ETL tool."
"Technical support, and their approach is good. They have a support portal and support tickets. If you open a ticket it has multiple levels of severity from level one to very high or critical."
"Good product if you are trying implement data quality, data integration, and data management projects."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica PowerCenter is data transformation and user-friendliness."
"Informatica PowerCenter is a very good ETL tool."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"The most valuable feature is the new Data Lake feature, which provides the basic capabilities needed."
"Ease and speed of building integrations, especially integrations between different applications, such as our Hospital Information System."
"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"The scalability is tough."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"The solution can improve by providing more connectivity by having native ODBC or JDBC connections available. It will be easier and more people could start using it."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"They should release new versions for the solution's on-premises setup."
"Lacks ability to calculate cost of the product."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, considering the fact that the present licensing charges of the tool are expensive."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"Informatica, in my opinion, is very rigid and not very flexible, whereas platforms like Alteryx or Matillion are very flexible and agile."
