Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"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."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"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 solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"It has an intuitive data quality engine that allows you to modify data, and apply rules to standardize it, and it's an excellent initial stage."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"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."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"The on-premise features are undeniably robust, but having equally powerful capabilities in the cloud would be a significant enhancement."
