Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, TIBCO and others in Master Data Management (MDM) Software."The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."

"The tool is easy to use."
"The backup and restore functionality are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The product is easy to use and is beneficial from a data governance perspective."
"This is an all-around good product."
"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."
"Some of the features that I have found to be beneficial are the search and uploads functions."
"SAP Master Data Governance integrates well."
"A good solution for large enterprises."
"User-friendly and provides customized reports and personalized data."
"I am satisfied with the solution's customer service."
"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."
"Data movement is a pain."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"The UI could improve by being more neat and clean. Sometimes users find it difficult to use it."
"There were challenges with handling multiple values within a single input field at the screen level."
"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."
"The implementation could be easier."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
