"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"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."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
