We performed a comparison between Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 product seems stable enough."
"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."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The solution scales well."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"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."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"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 solution is quite expensive."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"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."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
