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 Informatics vision is already determined and with the relationships already configured, or that plasters any new type of vision or relationship between the Assets. As a result, a pedigree diagram is poor and limited with the availability of information on the screen or in reports for consultation and decision making. It has an approval and maintenance workflow that is also limited to assets already made available only by Informática. It will not be possible to see the connection of a technical, functional, and documentary line in a single flow. It allows the registration of all data referring to a DPIA and LIA, but it does not generate a report that allows the aggregation of this set of information in a single place. The tool makes information available to support a decision regarding the DPIA and LIA, but it does not make it available in a unified way as in a report.

Overall experience with Axon is average and it is a very manual product. Axon is a very good tool for data governance. User-friendly interface and is integrated with multiple systems.

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.
