Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, SAP, Talend and others in Data Quality."You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."
"What's most useful in IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is you can access it from anywhere. It's also pretty easy to learn, so even non-technical business people use it and found the solution easy to learn."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"The features I like most about Oracle Data Quality include extraction, transformation, and validation, which makes it a multipurpose product such as Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. I also like that Oracle Data Quality is very fast, so you can use it for a large volume of data within a short period. You have to do the validation very quickly, so the solution helps in that area of data quality. Another feature of Oracle Data Quality that I like is the MDM (Master Data Management) where you'll have a single source of protection, and this makes the solution perfect and helpful to my company."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The BA reporting tools, such as Data Services, and ETL tool in SAP Data Services are the most valuable. When we had in-memory requirements, we used HANA. HANA is most preferably for most the customers for in-memory. SAP is the first company that created the in-memory concept."
"What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources."
"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."
"Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution."
"Oracle Data Quality should integrate with data warehousing solutions such as Azure and CWS Office. For example, having the ability to integrate with tools, such as Azure Synapse and SQL data warehousing would be a great benefit."
"Oracle is currently not that intuitive. We need to use programmers to write code for a lot of the procedures. We need to have them write CL SQL code and write a CL script."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
