    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 is a robust software with great management and data model. It can be difficult to learn how to use and deploy the first time but the mapping and features work very well and have optimized our productivity and cost savings. We can customize reports, create rules and integrate with other applications. Overall I recommend it.

    • It is unfortunate how this program has a couple of limitations in terms of insertions; it does not have the ability to agglomerate and archive the data in real-time by groups.
    • To have automation functions, the program is very limited in performing one task at a time, compared to other systems that perform functions simultaneously.

    I'm not sure since I never used support. My colleagues never had any issues with it, therefore my rating would be an 8 with a certain range of uncertainty.

    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.

    • I cannot speak to this for 2 reasons. 1. I am not privy to the financials associated with this implementation or the previous one. 2. We have not hit our 'go-live' for this implementation yet to compare it's performance to our previous solution.
