We performed a comparison between Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog and Tungsten RPA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The solution scales well."
"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 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."
"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."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."
"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"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."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "
