Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."They also offer automated lineage embedded in the connectors, allowing us to track where the data is coming from and where it's going. We find it very efficient in cataloging data sources. Additionally, the user-friendly interface is a big plus, making it easy for users to familiarize themselves with the solution. These two features, in my opinion, stand out the most."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"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."
"There are some improvements. There is a feature called Playbooks, which basically allows me to automate certain activities that would otherwise be manual. It's a very interesting feature, but there is room to improve it because, depending on the task you automate, the playbooks seem to have a hard time handling the task. So, it could be improved there. Even though it's a great feature, it can evolve further."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."
"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."
