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."We can scan anything."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"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 product seems stable enough."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The solution scales well."
"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 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 solution is useful for data transformation."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"Data migration is the most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"Oracle GoldenGate features work fine, which is what I like about it. I also like that it's scalable, easy to set up, and has good technical support."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"Regarding improvements, the focus should be on addressing data quality issues and minimizing delays, particularly in Oracle databases. The technical support should be improved as well. Additionally, in terms of features, it would be great if the solution could support APIs. The support is not friendly. They don’t respond on time."
"Troubleshooting issues is not always the easiest. It should be easier to troubleshoot. Their support can also be improved. They don't read your problem statement and waste a lot of time. GoldenGate for big data is actually a separate license. It is sort of a separate product, but it might fall underneath your GoldenGate category. If we're talking about big data, its interaction with big data sources is poorly documented."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
