Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""We can scan anything.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features.""The metadata management of Informatica is great.""The way that the solution scans is very useful.""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.""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."

"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option.""SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience.""This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass.""Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually.""What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."

Cons
"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.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages.""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.""It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""The solution is quite expensive.""Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."

"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved.""Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access.""The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point.""Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub.""The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
