Azure Data Catalog simplifies data analysis and provides insights. We use it for data transformation, bulk uploads, ETL tasks, and normalization. It's a cloud service that works with cloud and on-premises data sources, providing a hybrid solution. It helps us improve our search and discovery services and move up in the rankings. Azure Data Catalog allows us to create secure data analytic stores, run machine learning on our data, and easily adapt to schema changes. The tool allows us to tag and add descriptions, which enriches the data set. It's a reliable data-security management system.

  • Ownership of the data.
  • It's helpful for all businesses.
  • Policy on data preservation.
  • It can utilize various data sources.
  • Data management is secure and simple.
  • Cloud service has long upload times.
  • High-stability connections are needed.

Azure Data Catalog has helped our data governance and BI efforts. It's an enterprise-level data dictionary that grows with our data ecosystem. We build cloud-native apps with data management tools. And we get insights quickly and with less overhead, and the drag-and-drop interface is one of the best parts of it. Drag-and-drop is easy so that we can deliver quickly. Visual effects make it more flexible. One thing to note is that working on it requires some skill to maintain the integrity of all the components. Another improvement would be lowering the licensing cost.
  • Integration of data and reporting on it
  • No code, drag-and-drop interface.
  • Scalability and security are good.
  • Managing complex data in one place is easier.
  • It provides a space-saving record of our organization's data, assets, and clients.
  • It uses threat monitoring agents to generate real-time alerts and reports.
  • It unifies on-prem and cloud data sources and builds a reporting dashboard.
  • It collects data from different sources, puts it on one plate, and processes it.
We considered alternative tools, but most of our infrastructure was already linked to Azure. Therefore, Azure Data Catalog seemed that integrating the location of our data would be easier and safer. An important feature of UX/UI was the sophisticated data analytics engine. When we have questions or concerns, the support that we receive from the vendor is unparalleled. Easy to use and implement, and cheap compared to other platforms.

Azure Data Catalog combines flexibility, fine-tuning, automation, and sound monitoring. Our primary use case is for advanced analytics data migration. We put it to use in various ETL-related activities, including transforming and normalizing data, bulk uploading, populating data stores, and more. It enables the creation of secure analytic data stores, machine learning on our data, and rapid schema adaptation. One of the tool's most valuable features is its drag-and-drop interface, allowing us to quickly access any data source or table they require. It has changed how we think about storing and getting information. It has revolutionized how we conduct business and the people we can reach and collaborate with worldwide.
  • Drag-and-drop works.
  • Pipeline orchestration tool.
  • Quickly identify data sources.
  • Easy to build cloud-native solutions.
  • Scalable, quick to support, and secure.
  • Multiple choices confuse.
  • Complex implementation.
  • Time-consuming cloud service uploads.
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.
  • Task-list.
  • Excellent GUI.
  • Multi-Source.
  • Metadata extract.
  • Intuitive navigation.
  • It is brilliant and directly helps us solve data problems, especially those on data discovery.
  • It had a straightforward process that was simple enough that even non-technical people could use it.
  • It is a metadata catalog that spans the entirety of the business and simplifies the process of finding data assets.
To create cloud-native applications, we rely on Azure Data Catalog for data management. I believe it was better suited to our organization and maturity level regarding costs and onboarding procedures. We can get insights quickly and with less work. Familiarity also played a role in our choice. In general, I believe this product is worthwhile. But the IT environment in which it will be deployed will impact this. Therefore, compared to other tools on the market, Azure Data Catalog is the best option.
