Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"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."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"It's helpful in integration, and it can be moved around in SharePoint. So, from the SharePoint View, data integration and reporting, it help a lot in that way."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to map data and write workflows with logic inside them."
"You can create a lot of ingestions based on the file levels or based on the time."
"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."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good. If any event happens, it doesn't tell you at which point it failed and it doesn't tell the operations team how they should take corrective actions unless you call Zaloni and then identify the issues. That is one issue."
