"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"The tool is easy to use."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The data quality is very good."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"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."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure."
"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."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"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."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"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."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"The documentation needs improvement."
