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 is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"Offers data lineage feature"
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The product seems stable enough."
"We can scan anything."
"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."
"TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"R and automation services."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"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 more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"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."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"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."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"The solution might be generic."
"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."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
