Find out in this report how the two Metadata Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"We can scan anything."
"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 solution scales well."
"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."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"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."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The security features could be improved."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
