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 backup and restore functionality are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"The match engine is very good and the BPM solution is very good as well."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
"It's powerful and it's stable."
"In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure."
"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."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"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 stability could be improved."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."
