We performed a comparison between Informatica MDM and TIBCO EBX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"The Provisioning tool is something that is really handy for everyone. It is my pick as the best feature."
"I think the integration feature is probably one of the key features in Informatica MDM...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"It has flexibility in extending the data model."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The data modeling is very good."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"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."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"They have too many diversified products. If you don't know Informatica, it's very confusing and feels very idiotic."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"The UI is terrible and not user-friendly."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"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."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"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."
