Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, TIBCO, Reltio and others in Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions."The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are the IDQ and RDM data management."
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are its reliability, match functions, and integration capabilities. The out-of-box functionality of deduplication and built-in data models ensure faster implementation."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"I think that it's a good solution...It is stable because we have the experience to deploy this solution."
"The tool is easy to use."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The data modeling is very good."
"I think everything related to the APIs and the manageability of the APIs in Informatica MDM are areas where improvements are required."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"Informatica MDM could improve the interdependency with integration. The solution sometimes becomes a bit difficult to change considering a lot of interdependency with the integration. There can be some improvement in the workflows and they can introduce more artificial intelligence."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"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."
"From my understanding, MS, as of 2021, will not maintain the product going forward."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"It would be a better option to have an on-cloud version."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"The stability could be improved."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"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."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"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."
