Find out in this report how the two Metadata Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The product seems stable enough."
"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 metadata management of Informatica is great."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"Support has been great."
"A valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is that you do not need ETL. It's easy to use—you choose two systems and it automatically replicates them. Even if there is no CDC available, if you insert it and update it, and there is nothing to find out, then you can use Qlik Replicate. It's a good product."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"It enables us to transform data at the latest stage rather than in ETL loads, so it's more ELT which is one of the advantages. It is also in near real-time, which brings significant advantage for our embedded analytics approach."
"Low-priced reporting and analytics solution, with good scalability and stability. It has on-premises and cloud versions that are cohesive and can integrate well."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"The scalability is tough."
"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 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."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"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."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"When you remote into it the Qlik Replicate UI a lot of times it just freezes. We set up the EC2, to allow them to go to the server and click on the Replicate icon, it just opens up and just sits there. At that point, we have to go into the EC2 and then reboot the server. This should be fixed, it is frustrating."
"This product could be improved by providing more insight regarding errors. One of our customers that uses Qlik Replicate has had an issue. We tried to debug it, but we could not trace the error message. The infrastructure site should give us more insight about errors. Qlik Replicate is not a business solution, it's an IT solution. The reporting tools and bug site should be improved."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
