"Technical support is very good."
"It's very easy to use."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"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 is the administration console."
"Compared to other databases, it is easier to manage and administer."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"One of the most valuable features in Stibo Systems Product Master Data Management is security."
"More generic related things can be included in the services."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"The program's navigation tools could be improved."
"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."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"Stibo Systems Product Master Data Management can improve by being more user-friendly."
