We performed a comparison between Microsoft MDS and TIBCO EBX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"The tool is easy to use."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"It's very easy to use."
"The backup and restore functionality are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The data quality is very good."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"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."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The data modeling is very good."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"I do not like using Silverlight and Internet Explorer. The new 2019 version gets rid of that, which is one of the reasons why we are looking to switch."
"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."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"The stability could be improved."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"The only drawback is that it does not have the matching, merging, and all true MDM components. For these, you have to use another competent called Data Quality Services (DQS). You need to plug it in and use it along with MDS for true MDM. Both of these are integrated together, but you have to do them separately, whereas, in Profisee, there are a couple of screens where you can configure the matching process, create matching rules, and other things, and everything is in one product, which is not the case with MDS. In order to implement a true MDM, you need MDS, DQS, and SSIS. You have to use MDS to store your golden records, DQS to configure and standardize all your rules and matching percentages, and SSIS to load the data to DQS and MDS. At the same time, you also need Melissa Data to clean up your addresses to validate and standardize the addresses. That's the main component of true MDM. It would be good if they can create a true matching component inside MDS and merge MDS and DQS."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"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."
"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."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
