Overall Satisfaction
IDQ was purchased at Apollo about a week before I was hired and my first primary duty was to get the tool up and going (infrastructure, install, config, staff). It was used to present quality scorecards to data stewards/owners
- The tool was designed with the intent to link quality to the data steward/owner
- The functionality from the ETL allowed for great flexibility when designing quality filters
- The tool is a profiling tool that is completly disconnected from ETL flow so no realtime processing
- The sheduling is apalling
- There is no alerting; but I guess if you're only profiling data, there is not much point
- There were no findings or positive savings
Talend ETL provides a more integrated Data Quality tool but the choice for IDQ was completed before I started and company is entrenched with Informatica
