Efficient management of multi-domain masters but API integrations could be improved

As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations. I would like to have some improved API integrations in the future release. Moreover, there is room for improvement in the setup process. The company should move the deployment to the cloud and make it a ready setup. In the market, many of the players, like Trento, Semarchy, and MDM software which are on the cloud, are ready to use. All the installation is pre-defined so that the installation cost is not to be added by the client every time. So, deployment and installation are specific to the service partner only. A client cannot do it by themselves.

Provides inbuilt data model and good matching engine

It's a tough tool for developers. Right now in the market, I think Informatica MDM is number one and is used a lot. IBM MDM was developed by some other company and IBM developed it more. There are definitely some flaws. The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers. Generally, customers can understand Informatica MDM and its functionality easily. If a developer is facing issues with IBM MDM, then a customer will definitely not understand most of the functionality. That is the main concern. IBM is introducing some Next-Gen MDM, where they are using a lot of current technologies and machine learning. Most of the problems we may be facing right now are probably solved in that version.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Efficient management of multi-domain masters, product suppliers, and locations."

"There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."

"The advantage is that the matching engine is very good, so that's why customers generally prefer it. From the inbuilt data model perspective, IBM MDM is good."

"The features that are most valuable are the governance, the end-profiling and the ETL which allows you to see the metadata repositories."

"When users update their information on one product, the data is sent to a database. My approach was to maintain a master data record, ensuring that each platform loads the latest updated record. Instead of having three separate records, the system keeps one master data record, storing the historical records for reference."

Cons

"As for improvement, the con is basically API integrations."

"The product is really only created for large organizations."

"The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers."

"IBM InfoSphere MDM's UI is complicated. It also needs to improve its on-prem configuration."

"We also want better cloud integration, so we could do things in the cloud if we needed to. This would be a good feature to add in a future release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective."

"It may be costly for small organizations but adds value for large organizations with demanding workflows."
