Azure Data Catalog vs. data.world

Azure Data Catalog helps us solve data discovery problems
brilliantly. Our organization created a single source of truth for our data,
which allowed us to develop BI and data science solutions. We can drag tables
or data sources to manage workflow. Some of the more complicated data normalization
or standardization issues need to be simplified, and I'd like to see that
happen.

It's a very user-friendly platform for those familiar with database concepts and SQL. Documentation is extensive but for those with no prior knowledge it can be daunting. The lack of ability to organize queries and datasets by category can also be frustrating and sometimes difficult to navigate.

• Azure platform makes it easier for us to register & catalogue all available information easily. This way when the customer actually made a sudden request or they want to access sensitive information on their own, the data is readily presented to them.
