Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, SAP and others in Metadata Management."I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them."
"We can scan anything."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"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."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"The ability to easily and quickly ingest new data sources is the most valuable feature... I'm not an especially technical IT person, but my data governance lead and I are able to ingest the data, quickly profile it, and do data identification and tagging."
"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."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The scalability is tough."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"We've tagged a lot of fields that are related to specific processes... What would be helpful is a place, inside Lumada Data Catalog, where you can describe the tags that you're using. Otherwise, anybody coming into the system, or seeing the tag from the outside in one of the reports, is going to say, "What is that tag really referring to?" and has to know where my spreadsheet is."
