Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features that I have found most valuable are the user experience, the credentialing, and that BigID is user friendly. Additionally, you can deploy to several other Microsoft platforms and you can use it for other things, like a bigger element or a report."
"BigID's scanning feature is its most valuable component."
"One of the most valuable things in a data-focused world is a tool, a technology that's data-centric, not trying to master data management or whatever else. It's a source of truth for what data an organization holds, giving it the ability to catalog, categorize, and understand its data."
"BigID integrates well with our other products."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"The solution is stable."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The product is stable."
"The tool currently lacks security features."
"BigID is making some forays into the GRC space, and that's a natural progression. I'd like to see that improve so that data governance is better, data risk is identified, and the ability to control and mitigate it."
"BigID is expensive. I prefer McAfee."
"In terms of what could be improved, when you're looking in a BigID file, you cannot really get the whole file. You have to export it to download it to another platform that allows you to completely view it, or run a program. That was one of the things that was really a disappointing point for me. Not to be able to view everything. There's a lot more data, but you can't get it all at once."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"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."
