Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, TIBCO and others in Master Data Management (MDM) Software."The features that are most valuable are the governance, the end-profiling and the ETL which allows you to see the metadata repositories."
"There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."
"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."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers."
"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."
"IBM InfoSphere MDM's UI is complicated. It also needs to improve its on-prem configuration."
"The product is really only created for large organizations."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
