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 solution scales well."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"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."
"The product seems stable enough."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"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 most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It can integrate with more recent databases like Cassandra, Hadoop, and other more recent Big Data databases."
"The Knowledge Module approach provides an easy and reusable way to create our own integration strategies. It's easy to create these Knowledge Modules to connect to new technologies, for instance."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"Integration with all systems is easy with Oracle Data Integrator, and it is easy to use. I have not used any other product, but with Oracle Data Integrator, we can easily connect to an ERP system, an SAP system, or a cloud application."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The scalability is tough."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"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."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"It needs easier security."
"ODI could improve the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve to use the solution."
"An area for improvement would be the lack of SQL compatibility - ODI has no ability to interact with SQL unstructured types and data types."
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons"
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
"The interface of ODI could be improved. For example, navigating and finding functions can be difficult. For example, you have to know which step you need to go to look at where your job status is. The logical step is a bit complex compared to other tools. It's much easier to get a graphical view, but with ODI, it's graphical, plus you have to know all the other pieces that fit around it. You have to think about the logical and physical aspects."
