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."
"We can scan anything."
"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."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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 way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"

"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
