The interface is easy to use. I also like erwin's automatic data classification and data quality checks. It provides excellent visibility into stable data and data in motion. We have a clear view of ETL processes through data lineage, and a feature called the data mind map. erwin provides the necessary traceability. It's easy to assign tasks and keywords. Data owners can manage their data and assign access to various teams. The data catalog dashboard enables us to classify sensitive data and comply with regulations, which is crucial in Saudi Arabia. Every government organization must abide by the rules on personal data. I rate the data catalog dashboard nine out of 10.

The standard data connectors for automation, metadata, harvesting, and ingestion are easy to use. The solution enables us to deliver data pipelines faster and with a 20 to 30 percent reduction in cost. erwin provides an immediate view of the technical details required to manage our data landscape. Data transparency is increasing which helps our IT operations. It delivers up-to-date and detailed data lineage which is important. erwin helps us with data discovery and understanding of our entire organization's data. The solution provides visibility into our organization's data for our IT, data governance, and business users which we require to build the compound report. The asset discovery and collaboration provided by the data quality feature is good. Its ability to affect data users' confidence levels when they are utilizing data is admirable. erwin's capacity to tackle challenges associated with data quality and offer the required information for users to make well-informed decisions is effective in overseeing the regional database and metadata.

I and the DevOps architect think erwin Data Intelligence is a better product technically because it's more designed for a technical user. But it couldn't pass one penetration test. In the federal government, if there's one problem like that, they're not happy anymore. Also, really huge datasets, where the logical names or the lexicons weren't groomed or maintained well, were the only area where it really had room for improvement. A huge data set would cause erwin to crash. If there were half a million or 1 million tables, erwin would hang. And then, when the metadata came in, it would need a lot of manual work to clean it up.

Pricing

"The price is reasonable, and a subscription is required."
"erwin was at a good price. The federal government wouldn't buy something if the pricing wasn't good."
"The price is too high."

Valuable Features

"The data mapping manager is the most valuable feature."
"Mind map... is a really good feature because it is very helpful in seeing which column's tables are related. Also, you can flag them with "sensitive data" and other indicators. You can also customize your own features for the mind map. That was another very robust feature."
"Data Intelligence creates a single source of truth for all of our metadata. This solution is better for data warehousing, but the metadata features speed up our development work. It's easy to create and manage mappings because we can export them to Informatica and pick up the work where we left off."

Room For Improvement

"The data quality assessment requires third-party components and a separate license."
"Really huge datasets, where the logical names or the lexicons weren't groomed or maintained well, were the only area where it really had room for improvement. A huge data set would cause erwin to crash. If there were half a million or 1 million tables, erwin would hang."
"The versioning can sometimes be confusing because we use the publishing feature for the mapping. Technical analysts sometimes have two versions, and they should know that the public version is the correct one."
