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."
"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."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"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."
"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 solution is stable."
"It is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"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."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"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."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
