More Collibra Catalog Pros →

"The way that the solution scans is very useful.""The solution scales well.""The product seems stable enough.""I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar.""The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them.""The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best.""I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The metadata management of Informatica is great."

Cons
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources.""The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use.""Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."

More Collibra Catalog Cons →

"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""It is not easy to set up and configure the tool.""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 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.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages.""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."
