Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, SAP and others in Metadata Management."It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"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 solution scales well."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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 ability to easily and quickly ingest new data sources is the most valuable feature... I'm not an especially technical IT person, but my data governance lead and I are able to ingest the data, quickly profile it, and do data identification and tagging."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"The scalability is tough."
"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 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."
"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."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"We've tagged a lot of fields that are related to specific processes... What would be helpful is a place, inside Lumada Data Catalog, where you can describe the tags that you're using. Otherwise, anybody coming into the system, or seeing the tag from the outside in one of the reports, is going to say, "What is that tag really referring to?" and has to know where my spreadsheet is."
