Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The scalability of the solution is excellent. It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications. We can see all our information on a single screen. Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value. The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them. | What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users. It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine. The most valuable feature is the administration console. Technical support is very good. |
Cons | |
I think they should work really hard on UI. We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer. Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data. | 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. In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure. The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
it's expensive, but if you're looking for a stable solution, Informatica MDM is a good one to choose. | I would like to see better pricing. With Microsoft, we buy everything though an agreement, so we purchase volume licensing every year. The pricing of this solution is good. |
