Microsoft Azure Data Catalog (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes
Speed of set up
The seemless integration with the existing ecosystem of cloud and infrastructure. This enables organisations to partner with microsoft and engage and integrate their services and software with them on an enterorise level. The Azure Stack is also coming which will allow companies to get full features of Azure but in an on premise environment.
Excellent support by MS team
Lack of rich functionality, disconnect between businesss glossary and data dictionary
The sluggish preview portal is somewhat a hindrance. Saying that given the enterprise level of service Microsoft offers they are always listening and evolving they issues which are raised. So looking into the future we are sure to see a better offering in this field.
I don't have any.

Data catalog tool helps us to extend and make efficient use of information assets.
Data catalog helps with indexing the data storage and it's metadata without occupying much of the Azure storage space. This helps us to improve the searching and discovery services a lot and increase the ranking. The tool also provides facilities to tag and add descriptions which helps us to enrich and supplement the data set. Microsoft provides a lot of support and documentation on how to use the tool in a more efficient manner. - Data EngGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source
A simple cost effective, yet feature poor Data Catalog option
Azure Data Catalog (v1) lacked a lot of the core features that you come to expect within the marketplace. Integration with other Azure services was sometimes lacking (ADF) - Environmental Risk And Social Risk Analyst50M-1B USDBankingReview Source
