Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."IBM Data Governance improved data analytics operations. During a company merger, we used IBM Data Governance to understand and bridge sample data between systems."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"It's helpful in integration, and it can be moved around in SharePoint. So, from the SharePoint View, data integration and reporting, it help a lot in that way."
"One area with room for improvement would be the ability to generate detailed quality reports. Some Python libraries provide quality scores and reports—having that capability within IBM Data Governance would be beneficial."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"Informatica Axon's response times and certain aspects of the admin panel could be enhanced for better usability."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
