Find out in this report how the two Metadata Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The data catalog feature is pretty good."
"When you combine it with data lineage, every time you need to make a change, it allows you to do impact analysis on any changes and then connect to the end-users or data stewards so that they can be aware that a change is coming. That's one of the main benefits we use it for."
"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."
"Setup is straightforward."
"The Data Cleansing and the scorecard dashboard are very valuable. Additionally, the financial aspect of SAP Information Steward is very good. When a rule is incorrect then it will show how much is it costing the business. These features are very valuable."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"The data profiling was excellent, as was the ease of generating the dashboards."
"The solution is very fast."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."
"There is room for improvement with respect to the connector and how to connect to the structured and unstructured database."
"There are always ways to improve things. For example, we can use AI to be able to find out something. When we are typing something, if we don't know the exact term, Artificial Intelligence would be useful to find terms that are phonetically or syntactically similar. Instead of having to type in the exact name, they can provide those in the list. So, they can provide AI support for the search because when you have thousands and thousands of terms, it is hard to remember all the names."
"Granularity could be reduced from an application level to the object level."
"Performance could be improved."
"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."
"The support team is not very responsive."
"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."
"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
