This is a secure solution that helps easily verify DQ rules
What is our primary use case?
I manage the environment and admin-related tasks.
I have integrated Axon into EDC, PowerCenter, and data quality tools, and I face no difficulty integrating with those tools.
I also handle installation, configuration, and troubleshooting issues, in addition to when users face access issues or need help seeing their DQ technical roles.
How has it helped my organization?
With Axon, you can easily call and verify DQ rules. You can also upload your business gallery, and the business team can easily verify your data because it is secure.
What is most valuable?

They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the stability an eight out of ten because I have not yet seen the environment go down.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability of the solution a five out of ten. We have faced some performance issues. We have about five or six Axon business users who are data owners and stewards. They are not very active with the solution.
Personally, for the last month, I have not touched Axon or the servers. There are no plans to expand Informatica Axon's usage at the moment.
How was the initial setup?
I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. The clients gave us their Linux servers, and I set up the solution on-premises.
I could set up the environment, the installation, and the configuration in one day.
My organization's initial steps required us to get licenses for the installation, and we needed specific kinds of ports opened from our environment. We first needed to install the Axon agent and Axon server on different directories. Once we did that, we needed to update a couple of files to communicate with data quality and other functions.
The solution requires some maintenance. I might have to perform a sync-up or make sure the environment is not down, but that is very rare.
What about the implementation team?
The solution was implemented in-house, with me deploying the solution single-handedly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate the pricing a six or a seven out of ten because the price is neither too high nor too low.
What other advice do I have?
Informatica is a big name in the market and the tools are trustworthy, which is why our client chose Informatica Axon-EDC. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
