Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The advantage is that the matching engine is very good, so that's why customers generally prefer it. From the inbuilt data model perspective, IBM MDM is good.""The features that are most valuable are the governance, the end-profiling and the ETL which allows you to see the metadata repositories.""When users update their information on one product, the data is sent to a database. My approach was to maintain a master data record, ensuring that each platform loads the latest updated record. Instead of having three separate records, the system keeps one master data record, storing the historical records for reference.""There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."

This would be a good feature to add in a future release."
