Microsoft MDS Reviews

Our primary use case is to have a database of customers. We also use it to manage accounts.

We have an on-premises deployment.

The most valuable feature is the administration console.

You can import data from Excel.

In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure.

The duplication feature is not so good.

The merge function should be improved to include better automation. For example, if two people have the same name, address, or mobile number then the records should be automatically merged. As it is now, I have to merge these records manually.

I would like to be able to generate a report of current operations.

I have had some errors that seem to be related to memory usage when there is a lot of data.

I have not been in contact with technical support. When I encounter issues I search for solutions on the web.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

The initial setup of this solution is not complex.

The solution took us approximately one month to develop, and then one day to deploy.

I performed the deployment myself.

The pricing of this solution is good.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Its data quality, as well as integration with other Microsoft tools.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

I have only used it for a small scale prototype, but I am looking to scale it for millions of records in the near future.

It's good.

It's good.

We're using multiple solutions, and haven't actually switched it yet.

We used Azure Cloud service to set it up, and it was very easy to setup and configure. Cloud setup is the way to go.

We implemented it in-house.

We just looked at Gartner’s top leaders in this area.

Start small and scale incrementally. Cloud would be the ideal deployment option.

• Web Service integration
• Customer Workflow Extensions

This product provides a robust, flexible, and secure way for my organization and our customers to manage master data without the need to write code. MDS provides excellent integration options and a range of features such as auditing, trace-ability, and change capture.

The business rules definition interface could be improved. It is not the most intuitive or easy to use GUI.

We have used this for five years.

The product is very stable.

No scalability issues. The product performs well and has good options in this regard.

I would give technical support a rating of 9/10.

This was the first MDM platform I had used.

The setup was very straightforward. The installation wizard and the configuration manager are simple and intuitive.

MDS is packaged as part of the Microsoft SQL Server platform and no additional license is required.

We evaluated Oracle and SAP.

MDS can be setup and used very quickly to establish if it can bring value to your organization. Don't hesitate based on the perception that MDM software is complex to implement.
