We performed a comparison between Informatica MDM, Informatica PIM, and TIBCO EBX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, TIBCO, Reltio and others in Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions.
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"It comes with lot of features and is a one-stop-shop solution for integration, data modeling, and data governance. Everything can be built under one particular umbrella. If any issues come up, then there won't be any blame game saying that it could be an integration issue or an MDM hub issue because it's wholly owned by Informatica. That's the biggest advantage of Informatica MDM over that of any other tools that are available on the market."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The staging and hierarchical features are the most valuable."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"The most important features are the mastering of the data and the UI intuitiveness."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The data quality is very good."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"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."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"We promote our code changes from a lower to a higher environment, which is highly complex when working with a multi-domain MDM like Informatica. This is the biggest obstacle for Informatica MDM, and I think they should change it because that's very time consuming."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"They need more feature flexibility, as it is not fully developed."
"Its look and feel needs improvement. It has a lousy look and feel. Informatica PIM is designed specifically for the retail industry. They need to make sure that it is also applicable to all the other industries and verticals."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"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."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The documentation needs improvement."
