We performed a comparison between Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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 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."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The solution scales well."
"The product seems stable enough."
"We can scan anything."
"I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"The scalability is tough."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"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."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"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."
"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."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"The solution might be generic."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
