A hierarchy can be established for terms, catagories, and policies, but not rules. Also therefore, access to the rules is either on for all rules, or off for all rules.

IBM InfoSpherecan be rather difficult for new users or for those who do not have high technology knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problem that is being solved by using IBM InfoSphere is that our data is able to be analyzed and can be understood by those using the program through IBM’s common vocabulary terms and different ways to display flow of data. The benefits are that you can learn new vocabulary and common information and can also see different flows of the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
