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.

The IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is most well suited for large companies. With large companies storing data for a long amount of time, this can be helpful to allow all team members to find documents with ease. It would be less appropriate for storage that is deleted very often or does not needs to be saved for long amounts of time.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • 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. Needless to say we use this mined and catalogue data for a variety of inhouse training and other improvement initiatives.

  • The negative note: is that it needs to have a very secure cloud infrastructure and with its data well defined for integration with other databases.
  • The positive point: allows for quick data discoveries aiding a quick implementation of privacy programs.
