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 data quality component is very good."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"It has been leading the market with hierarchy management and all the different match concepts and algorithms. They're very robust."
"New tools are coming out that will enable you to achieve 90 percent of use cases with the out-of-the-box configuration, but I would like to keep Informatica tight here. Otherwise, you need a Java user edit course and other things to do multiple things that you cannot configure out of the box. They have to go through those use cases to do something if those can also be configured rather than coded."
"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica MDM is hierarchy management. It's not something that's typically available and effective within ERPs."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"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 most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"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."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"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."
"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."
"The configurations could be better. It is a bit confusing because we must develop two tools when building a data model in Informatica MDM. Even though Informatica MDM is a single tool, we have our hub console plus the provisioning tool within that. Whatever data model we are building in the hub console, we have to develop it in the provisioning tool again. It is double the work to create a data model. We are also using external calls or the Java custom plans functions. This can be both positive and negative. Since MDM as a client does not support any complex validation, we have to depend on the external call or a Java call. Every time we deployed, the entire solution was impacted if something went wrong."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"I feel the out-of-the-box APIs or the API management could be improved slightly from their current state. It could be more user-friendly."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The documentation needs improvement."
