Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""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 scales well.""The product seems stable enough.""It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features.""The way that the solution scans is very useful."

Cons
"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.""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.""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.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages.""The scalability is tough.""Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly.""It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
