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.

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.
