Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"It is a very stable solution. I rate its stability a ten out of ten...It is a scalable solution...Informatica Axon's technical support is good."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"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."
"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."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools to streamline the operation."
"The product is very complicated."
