Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, TIBCO and others in Master Data Management (MDM) Software."More generic related things can be included in the services."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The solution is easy to install."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"It's very easy to use."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"The solution can scale."
"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."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"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."
"The stability could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"The pricing could always be better."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
