Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, SAP, Talend and others in Data Quality."I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"The features I like most about Oracle Data Quality include extraction, transformation, and validation, which makes it a multipurpose product such as Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. I also like that Oracle Data Quality is very fast, so you can use it for a large volume of data within a short period. You have to do the validation very quickly, so the solution helps in that area of data quality. Another feature of Oracle Data Quality that I like is the MDM (Master Data Management) where you'll have a single source of protection, and this makes the solution perfect and helpful to my company."
"The user interface is ok."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."
"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."
"Data insight is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very fast."
"The Data Cleansing and the scorecard dashboard are very valuable. Additionally, the financial aspect of SAP Information Steward is very good. When a rule is incorrect then it will show how much is it costing the business. These features are very valuable."
"The data profiling was excellent, as was the ease of generating the dashboards."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"Oracle is currently not that intuitive. We need to use programmers to write code for a lot of the procedures. We need to have them write CL SQL code and write a CL script."
"Oracle Data Quality should integrate with data warehousing solutions such as Azure and CWS Office. For example, having the ability to integrate with tools, such as Azure Synapse and SQL data warehousing would be a great benefit."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The skillset of data engineers matters a bit to use all the functionality of this solution. Otherwise, the delivery speed won't be faster."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."
"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."
"Granularity could be reduced from an application level to the object level."
"The solution could improve by incorporating other applications, such as Power BI to show more visualization. More interaction with other solutions would be a good benefit."
"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."
"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
"The support team is not very responsive."
