"BigID integrates well with our other products."
"One of the most valuable things in a data-focused world is a tool, a technology that's data-centric, not trying to master data management or whatever else. It's a source of truth for what data an organization holds, giving it the ability to catalog, categorize, and understand its data."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"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."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"The solution is stable."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The tool currently lacks security features."
"In terms of what could be improved, when you're looking in a BigID file, you cannot really get the whole file. You have to export it to download it to another platform that allows you to completely view it, or run a program. That was one of the things that was really a disappointing point for me. Not to be able to view everything. There's a lot more data, but you can't get it all at once."
"BigID is expensive. I prefer McAfee."
"BigID is making some forays into the GRC space, and that's a natural progression. I'd like to see that improve so that data governance is better, data risk is identified, and the ability to control and mitigate it."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."
