Find out in this report how the two Metadata Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution scales well."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The product seems stable enough."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"GoldenGate enables us to merge and transform data from various sources in real time. It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."
"It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"It works best with Oracle."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"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."
"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 UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"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 easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The scalability is tough."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"GoldenGate is expensive. It's costly because this solution is unique in our market. The GoldenGate Cloud Service is cheaper than the on-premise solution."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
"The solution costs a lot."
