Overall Satisfaction with Azure Data Catalog

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.
  • It's easy to use and implement.
  • 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.
  • Unable to export or import some formats.
  • 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 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.
