A great tool to get started with Data Governance
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog from other similar products?
A lot more user friendly UI keeping business users in mind instead of just IT users. The tool definitely attracts business seeing the lineage and relationship view of data assets.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Admin and catalog UIs are altogether separate keeping in mind the tasks required in both the interfaces. The catalog UI is lot more business friendly and has much better performance after upgrading to EDC 10.5.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Certain navigations especially within LDM Admin UI are confusing and wish they can be handed better in upcoming releases
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
EDC is definitely a great tool for the organizations planning to either get started with Data Governance programs or have some data governance setup already. This tool UIs have been designed more simplistic and business friendly. The search capabilities, data domain setup, data discovery and drill down along with seamless lineage generation and relationship views make it super powerful. Needful to mention, the AXON integration makes the tool load Business Glossaries and business terms seamlessly which definitely is a great add-on. The DAA - Data Asset Analytics provides great advance reporting and dashboard capabilities.
