We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The data quality component is very good.""In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business.""​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them.""It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust.""It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship.""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.""It is easy to create REST-based interfaces of the master data objects.""The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are it is cloud-enabled and has all the elements that are supposed to have in terms of MDM as a solution. All the features that are there. It is very well-integrated with any of the SAP and non-SAP applications. It is quite user-friendly. The user experience that you receive in Informatica MDM is quite good."

"User-friendly and provides customized reports and personalized data.""We've found the solution to be quite flexible.""Useful for building master data.""The scalability is very good.""A good solution for large enterprises.""The solution is great at standardizing all of our records.""This is an all-around good product.""The data capturing and data governance features are valuable."

More SAP Master Data Governance Pros →

"The API and the data model are very valuable features.""The initial setup is easy and straightforward.""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.""There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool.""It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The data modeling is very good.""The data quality is very good.""The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."

More TIBCO EBX Pros →

Cons
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex.""From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials.""The cost of Informatica MDM is expensive and has room for improvement.""Data integration should be improved.""Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data.""The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong.""The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old.""Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."

More Informatica MDM Cons →

"The solution lacks some flexibility.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""In general, I want artificial intelligence added to SAP Master Data Governance since I feel it is one of the areas where the solution has certain shortcomings.""The implementation could be easier.""Overall, they just a little bit more flexibility in terms of assigning roles or adding new roles. We have a longer approval process, so we need to break it down into more roles than what is typically available and we need to hard-code it.""The product is not user-friendly.""It does not ensure data matches after system upgrades.""The user interface is not user-friendly."

More SAP Master Data Governance Cons →

"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 design should be easier and more visual.""Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX.""The documentation needs improvement.""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.""TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust.""The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose."
  • "It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
  • "It is expensive. That's probably the biggest drawback. The business has heartache paying the license, but that's mainly because they don't realize what value it brings. The key thing about the MDM solution is that it is in the backend, and no one sees what it is actually doing. You don't know it is a problem until it is not there."
  • "Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."
  • "There is no doubt that it is very expensive, but the brand value comes at a cost. Other MDM solutions in the market that haven't proven themselves like Informatica are also pretty expensive. We need to understand that MDM itself is very expensive to implement. So, Informatica is also pretty expensive. I would rate it a two out of five for being pretty expensive."
  • "It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
  • "Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
  • "Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
  • More Informatica MDM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost of the product is not ideal."
  • "The cloud solution is subscription-based, it is paid monthly or quarterly. If the solution is on-premises, it is a one-time fee. As far as I am aware there are no additional costs."
  • "We have an enterprise license. The whole SAP landscape pricing model is based on the number of users, and the number of transactions. The price could be better, there is always room for improvement in the price."
  • "The licensing cost is reasonable."
  • "The solution is costly."
  • "The product is too expensive."
  • "I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
  • "SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive product."

  • "I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
  • "TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
  • "This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
  • "The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
  • "TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
