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."The backup and restore functionality are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"It has a very good feature called Excel plug-in. You just have to install the plug-in, and then it directly connects to the MDS instance where you can maintain and manage your data and publish it right through Excel. You don't need to go to the front end to make any changes. It has easy integration with SQL Server, and you can use SSIS to do the ETLs. It is a part of the Microsoft stack. It works with most of the Microsoft stuff."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The data quality is very good."
"The data modeling is very good."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"It would be a better option to have an on-cloud version."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"The only drawback is that it does not have the matching, merging, and all true MDM components. For these, you have to use another competent called Data Quality Services (DQS). You need to plug it in and use it along with MDS for true MDM. Both of these are integrated together, but you have to do them separately, whereas, in Profisee, there are a couple of screens where you can configure the matching process, create matching rules, and other things, and everything is in one product, which is not the case with MDS. In order to implement a true MDM, you need MDS, DQS, and SSIS. You have to use MDS to store your golden records, DQS to configure and standardize all your rules and matching percentages, and SSIS to load the data to DQS and MDS. At the same time, you also need Melissa Data to clean up your addresses to validate and standardize the addresses. That's the main component of true MDM. It would be good if they can create a true matching component inside MDS and merge MDS and DQS."
"Most of the Microsoft partners, especially digitally, are separate. Personnel are business people, and they do not have technical expertise, so you end up as a company spending a lot of money training your staff and your engineers."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
