Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, SAP and others in Metadata Management."I like EDC's self-service capabilities.

People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The solution scales well."

"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The stability of the solution is OK."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"The scalability is tough."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"The solution is quite expensive."

"It is not performing well."
