The governance process was fully manual before, but Axon helped us configure those processes, giving us more visibility, transparency, and control over the data.

This is where I think MDM shines - with its strong fuzzy matching algorithm. This is the essence of Informatica MDM. Based on these results, I can write our match conditions and then perform the corresponding data management activities.

I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

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 dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.

I feel the out-of-the-box APIs or the API management could be improved slightly from their current state. It could be more user-friendly.

Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult.

Metadata querying is right now not there in Informatica Cloud Data Integration.

Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough.
JD
Aug 9, 2022
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.

There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources.

The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven.

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.

The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified.
