Azure Data Catalog Integration?
Hi all,
From the Azure Data Catalog FAQ: You can think of Azure Data Catalog as an evolution of the Data Catalog. Azure Data Catalog delivers similar capabilities for data source publishing and discovery, but is focused on broader scenarios and not dependent on Office 365. Shortly after the Azure Data Catalog becomes generally available the two catalogs will merge into a single service.
Please let me know if this answers your question and gives you the information you need.
Edit: This is Matthew from the Azure Data Catalog team, so please feel free to ask questions if you have them. You can also visit the Azure Data Catalog forum ( https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/home?forum=azuredatacatalog ) for questions specific to ADC.
If your sales sell the glossary feature of the azure data catalog, i really do not care to pay for that integration too. It is the only reason to build a data cataloge, to improve a self service bi solution.
Thank you, for sharing your thoughts, MS.
I agree, these itegration pieces between the Azure Data Catalog, Excel, and PowerBI are key. The licensing also needs to be revisited for these products. As it is now it is impossible to roll out the Azure Data Catalog to a huge organization at $1/person/month if you have to prepay for all of them. Change the licensing to a usage based model and let it take off!
