"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features.""The solution scales well.""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.""We can scan anything.""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.""I like EDC's self-service capabilities.
