"The platform is user-friendly."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."

"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"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 rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"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."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"The scalability is tough."
"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."
