Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, Collibra and others in Metadata Management."The product seems stable enough."
"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 metadata management of Informatica is great."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"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."
"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 UI is extremely complex"
"The scalability is tough."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."

"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"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."
