"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"It has a very good feature called Excel plug-in. You just have to install the plug-in, and then it directly connects to the MDS instance where you can maintain and manage your data and publish it right through Excel. You don't need to go to the front end to make any changes. It has easy integration with SQL Server, and you can use SSIS to do the ETLs. It is a part of the Microsoft stack. It works with most of the Microsoft stuff."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"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 data quality is very good."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"From my understanding, MS, as of 2021, will not maintain the product going forward."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"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."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"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."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"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."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"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."
