"We can scan anything."
"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."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The solution scales well."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."

"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"The workflow could be improved."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
