Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"It is a reliable solution."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"We can scan anything."
"The solution scales well."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
