The solution is robust. We can connect with quality analysis tools for summarizing the data as well. It has all the essential features.

The solution's cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to its on-premise version.

I have been using the solution for eight years.

The solution is highly stable. We never had any issues with the cloud version. I rate its scalability a ten out of ten.

The solution is highly scalable. I rate its pricing an eight or nine out of ten.

The solution's technical support team is well-skilled.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. I rate the process a ten out of ten. It takes a little time to deploy and requires minimal staff.

Our vendor manages the solution's implementation.

Our clients evaluated Profisee and Precisely before. Comparatively, Informatica provides better integration with quality analysis, data governance, and data integration tools.

I advise others to know their company's requirements before implementing the solution. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I am a consultant and I use the solution to scan databases and lineages for my clients.

We can scan anything. We can scan reports, XML and JSON files also. That's a good thing about the Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog.

IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages, which is one thing I see in other data catalog tools that Informatica does not have, basically data catalog tools.

I have been using Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog for three years.

I rate the stability of the solution an eight out of ten.

I rate the scalability an eight out of ten. We currently have ten to 15 users using the solution and our client is a medium-sized business.

I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten, because it is pretty straightforward. The solution took two to three days for the initial setup.

When deploying IEDC, one should have a server ready and a lot of open ports, but otherwise it is straightforward.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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.

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.

Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management.

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

I am a consultant and have been working with Informatica Axon for three years.

I rate the stability an eight out of ten because I have not yet seen the environment go down.

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.

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.

The solution was implemented in-house, with me deploying the solution single-handedly.

I rate the pricing a six or a seven out of ten because the price is neither too high nor too low.

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.

Test data management is a common use case. When conducting testing in lower environments, we want to avoid exposing sensitive information. To achieve this, we use Data Masking to modify the data.

For example, we change personally identifiable information, phone numbers, and emails so that they cannot be viewed. The modified data retains the structure and format but doesn't reveal the actual information.

The tool is mainly valuable for testing teams, as it helps protect sensitive data during testing. It can also be used to mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information. These are the main reasons why we use this tool.

I think there's only one area that could be improved. Currently, when we apply the Data Masking rate, we don't have a way to view the masked data. It would be helpful if there was a feature to allow us to see the actual information.

Once the data is masked, it cannot be reversed. Having the ability to revert it back to the actual value would be beneficial, especially if we need to see the original information. Although our enrollment has decreased, it would still be helpful to have that feature.

I have used Data Masking as part of my work.

Stability is good. It's definitely reliable.

Scalability is good. It's definitely scalable to handle higher volumes across different platforms as well. It performs well in terms of scalability.

Additionally, when it comes to implementing more source systems, there haven't been any issues.

Our experience with customer service from Informatica has been excellent. They are always available and responsive.

The initial setup is generally straightforward. However, there can be some challenges during the on-prem installation process, even though we have the steps and prerequisites. Dealing with installation issues is quite common, but overall, it's not excessively complex to set up.

The need for maintenance depends on the team. Sometimes, the solution you configure in the tool determines the level of maintenance required. However, overall, maintenance hasn't been a significant issue.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
