Enhanced data quality with machine learning support in diverse environments

We used Ataccama ONE to read data from the mainframe for a data quality perspective. There's a significant lack in that area with tools being able to interface with mainframe. MetLife has a diverse environment, including DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, legacy, and vSAN files. Being able to work in these various environments and put them to a single data quality tool was very appealing. Additionally, Ataccama supported AI and machine learning, which was one of the features I liked. Furthermore, we were able to interface bidirectionally with Collibra for data governance, catching data quality issues before propagating through the system.

Detailed technical support and data integration capabilities create seamless user experience

Regarding SAP Master Data Governance, there is significant room for improvement particularly concerning the replication types. For example, when a vendor master is created in Ariba and a request is submitted from the Ariba system, SAP Ariba directs it to MDG. MDG verifies the details entirely through PI/PO or CPI. Once MDG verifies the data, the request is submitted to the S/4HANA system, the target. After a final approval at all levels, the vendor number is generated, and the vendor code gets passed from source to target system. This number is available in both the Ariba integration in the systems and in SAP BPT code, as well as the S/4HANA system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Customer service was excellent, and I would give it a ten out of ten."

"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."

"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."

"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."

"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."

"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."

"SAP is a closed tool. Integrating with it requires a lot of effort and money. It is also very expensive and not flexible."

"The scalability is very good."

"Validates all aspects from security to authorization and authentication."

"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."

"This is an all-around good product."

"The product is easy to use and is beneficial from a data governance perspective."

"SAP MDG has extensive data models and good integration with upstream and downstream systems."

"A good solution for large enterprises."

Cons

"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."

"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."

"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."

"Data movement is a pain."

"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."

"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."

"The price can be improved."

"Bill of materials (BOM) creation in manufacturing needs to be enhanced in SAP Master Data Governance."

"The product is not user-friendly."

"The profiling feature, especially for materials, needs improvement. We faced challenges maintaining specific details for a single material from multiple vendors."

"The solution lacks some flexibility."

"There were challenges with handling multiple values within a single input field at the screen level."

"The UI could improve by being more neat and clean. Sometimes users find it difficult to use it."

"It could be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."

"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"The licensing cost is reasonable."

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."

"We have an enterprise license. The whole SAP landscape pricing model is based on the number of users, and the number of transactions. The price could be better, there is always room for improvement in the price."

"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."

"The cloud solution is subscription-based, it is paid monthly or quarterly. If the solution is on-premises, it is a one-time fee. As far as I am aware there are no additional costs."

"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive product."

"The solution is costly."

"The product is too expensive."
