Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, SAP and others in Metadata Management."The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"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."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"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 is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"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."
"OIC offers a number of pre-built technology and SaaS adapters for high productivity for a wide range of target systems, both in-house via agents and cloud/SaaS, via a very flexible range of interfaces."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"I particularly like the drag-and-drop feature for designing integrations and processes."
"The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation."
"It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The scalability is tough."
"The support and resources were lacking — they weren't there."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve file handling. Currently, our real-time file polling limitation is 10 MB, if that size can be increased it would be helpful. For example, increasing the size from 10 MB to 1 GB."
"While most of the adapters are available through Oracle Integration Cloud Services, they do not have a lot of features. I would like to see some enrichment in this area and for the solution to go deeper into the applications and upgrade the adapters."
"The bulk processing needs improvement."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve the downloading and uploading of files. I've submitted this issue to the Oracle Idea Labs. The issue is from the front end of Oracle Integration Cloud, we cannot download or upload a file directly or drag and drop it."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"It has lengthy documentation, making the process of building applications more time-consuming."
"The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM."
