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."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"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."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
