Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, Collibra and others in Metadata Management."We can scan anything."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"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 product seems stable enough."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"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."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"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."
