PraveenChatla - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Information at Ericsson
Managing limited lineage across clouds has highlighted missing connectors but has supported basic cataloging
There are no specific areas of Google Dataplex I think could be improved because that is not our priority. To improve or enhance Google Dataplex, I would point out the connections; there is a lack of connections, and the variety of databases are not in a position to connect. I assess the usefulness of Google Dataplex's centralized management layer in simplifying data operations across environments as not there yet because the connections are lacking. If I look at the environments of something such as Ericsson, there are so many environments; to connect to each and every system, they are not there yet.

Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.
