Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, SAP and others in Metadata Management."We can scan anything."
"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 most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The solution scales well."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability is tough."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."
