Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The way that the solution scans is very useful.""The product seems stable enough.""The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""The metadata management of Informatica is great.""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.""We can scan anything.""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.""It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."

Cons
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages.""It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""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.""Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface.""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.""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.""The scalability is tough."
