"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is that it is flexible and user-friendly."
"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 features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"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."
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous."
"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."
"We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."
"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."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"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."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
"Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."
