What do you like best about Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog?

The ability to handle cloud and on-prem data scanning and management makes this a great solution versus the rest. The interface is straightforward to use and the metadata management piece puts into perspective all your quality and curation search needs for running data-centric operations and products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog?

All tools in this domain have this problem from Erwin to Microsoft to Databricks to yes Informatica too! Stop segmenting functionality for an upcharge; you lose customer attention and retention in this way. Don't add on sell for a particular type of scanning option for specific content or process. In evaluating every tool not just Informatica I found this scenario where for x development time we will build said scanner for you or in the case of Informatica there was when I was evaluating it a sort of premium versus standard which was a turn off. Not sure if this is still the case, but this was my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog solving and how is that benefiting you?

We ended up not selecting Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog for a couple of reasons. One for the company that I was working for we were phasing out on-prem solutions and Informatica just didn't make the jump to cloud Azure services like some of our other technology partners did with us. However, I can tell you that our goal was a one stop shop to help expedite product development, reduce requests and assistance from answerable questions from a tool, and help with our data governance initiatives that we were standing up which would have eventually tied to data policy management. EDC can do all of these things and if not for us moving forward with other vendors for other solutions, then we definitely would have gone with EDC and shifted our on-prem Informatica environment to cloud along with EDC utilization.

Initially the UI appears simple and still users can perform advanced filtering with the drop down options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog?

I think, it is still like a reference application and users still need to search and identify the responsibles and after that they would need to approach them to gain the required access by following the defined access request process or else we would need to have additional application such as data market place to request access.
