Before MDM or MDS, we used web forms and coding to achieve similar solutions.

Data Architect at World Vision

We didn't have a previous solution. Any augmentation of source system data for reporting was done via spreadsheets. 

I find this product far superior to a previously used product which was Hyperion MDM, now Oracle MDM. Although Oracle has enhanced their product in recent years since I last used it it was built upon the dying Hyperion database and had no governance built in and no web interface.  And the Oracle tool is hundreds of thousands verses this tool which is free.  Need I say more?

Note that competing products in the market place are very expensive and will include possibly more sophistication than you need. This tool does everything you will need for simple dimension or reference data management purposes.

We are using SAP for the master data.

SAP is more expensive than Microsoft. It's costly.

SAP is a very good ESP tool that can also be used for master data services.

It's very stable.

I've worked with Oracle, Redshift from AWS, and Postgres, among others. I used many things, however, that was for my former companies.
