More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pros →

"We can scan anything.""The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""I like EDC's self-service capabilities.

People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar.""I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities.""The solution scales well.""The product seems stable enough.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."

Cons
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence.""Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Cons →

"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface.""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.""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 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.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
