IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog Reviews & Product Details

It is based on business criteria and terminology. Lineage is a very powerful way to demonstrate data analytics where the data lives and where it goes. The interface is clear and somewhat intuitive however needs to be sorted out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Terms, labels, and reports included but nothing else than that. Query tool could be improved as it's not the most user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the flexibility and UI custom field creation capabilities. Additionally, the API functionality allows the export and import of information to various other tools and databases. I also am very pleased with the functionality of the technical lineage import and visual lineage rendering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Among some various little annoyances, one of my biggest complaints is the lack of a taxonomy structure around the Rules in IGC. A hierarchy can be established for terms, categories, and policies, but not rules. Also therefore, access to the rules is either on for all rules, or off for all rules.

The system helps identify, manage and store IT and business data for everyday operations. Makes work flow go smooth and provides a central location for users to search for and obtain access to key data terms and information of business needs more trustworthy and innovative.

The only downside of having a great system such as this one is the pricing. The value however is worth it for bigger companies and corporations however small business can luck out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love IBM Infosphere info Governance catalog because it surpasses other similar products I have tried in the past. It is extremely user friendly and seamlessly fits in with our other technologies and offers much better results than we could have expected with other similar products. Most IBM products we use now are way more adaptable and offer better results, and this one is one of the best products out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have not had it for over 6 months, so I can say that we have not had anything about it that we do not dislike yet, and I do not foresee any problems coming up in the future. I have recommended this to multiple colleagues and all of our workers seem to love it also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Logging mechanism needs to be improved. Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey. It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the idea of it being the central repository for metadata, but I feel it is underutilized because the UI is slow and clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is not intuitive, setup is not intuitive either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM has provided a broad range of subject matter and technical expertise. It works at different levels and areas of the organization. It also works with other data platforms. Problems are quickly fixed or they will work hard to find a work-around solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog needs to focus more on our user experience. The platform needs to be more user friendly. The other issue is that there are too many components. Some people in my office have a difficult time understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that IBM InfoSphere is a reliable and useful tool that gives you the ability to understand and analyze your information. IBM InfoSphere utilizes common language that fully allows you to understand terms and vocabulary being analyzed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
