Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""The product seems stable enough.""The metadata management of Informatica is great.""It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities.""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.""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 solution scales well."

Cons
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""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.""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.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages.""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."
