We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere MDM and Microsoft MDS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Master Data Management (MDM) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."
"The features that are most valuable are the governance, the end-profiling and the ETL which allows you to see the metadata repositories."
"When users update their information on one product, the data is sent to a database. My approach was to maintain a master data record, ensuring that each platform loads the latest updated record. Instead of having three separate records, the system keeps one master data record, storing the historical records for reference."
"The advantage is that the matching engine is very good, so that's why customers generally prefer it. From the inbuilt data model perspective, IBM MDM is good."
"More generic related things can be included in the services."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"The solution is easy to install."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The tool is easy to use."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"Technical support is very good."
"We also want better cloud integration, so we could do things in the cloud if we needed to. This would be a good feature to add in a future release."
"The product is really only created for large organizations."
"IBM InfoSphere MDM's UI is complicated. It also needs to improve its on-prem configuration."
"The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"The stability could be improved."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"I do not like using Silverlight and Internet Explorer. The new 2019 version gets rid of that, which is one of the reasons why we are looking to switch."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
