Find out in this report how the two Master Data Management (MDM) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."
"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."
"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."
"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 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 tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The data modeling is very good."
"The product is really only created for large organizations."
"IBM InfoSphere MDM's UI is complicated. It also needs to improve its on-prem configuration."
"We also want better cloud integration, so we could do things in the cloud if we needed to. This would be a good feature to add in a future release."
"The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"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."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
