Different types of products can have different attributes in the master product record, but there seem to be deployment issues that require a reliable SI.
The powerful attribution management capability, which allows different types of products to have different attributes in the master product record We implement it for other customers, but don't run it ourselves. It has essentially been "frozen" by Oracle - they don't seem to be updating it any…

Centralized master data has improved quality and now supports consistent global governance
Regarding what SAP can do better in SAP Master Data Governance, they have an entire roadmap of constant improvements since they deployed the product, always adding new business functionality and add-ons. Each company may have different feedback, wishing for certain features. The essence of SAP Master Data Governance is to provide structure, and from my standpoint, it offers a pretty good structure. There will always be areas for improvement; for example, when I deployed it a few years ago, their approach to internal orders for finance was still new, and they were figuring out how it would work based on organizational requirements. The financial data objects are straightforward, but financial statements are a bit more challenging. It is not a one-time deployment; it requires ongoing investment in user and product knowledge, and you need to weigh the pros and cons of any IT solution. I often advise clients to walk before they run because establishing hierarchies requires having a designed structure before implementation, though you can add that later. For additional functions in SAP Master Data Governance, it is interesting because on my project, we are already using AI technology for data cleansing before records are entered into SAP Master Data Governance. It would be beneficial to have the Dun & Bradstreet add-on within SAP Master Data Governance. However, one must remember that for AI to work effectively, it requires good data. Without that, AI does not make a difference. SAP Master Data Governance will always require a human perspective, especially to identify duplicate records. While SAP Master Data Governance provides technical capabilities for identifying potential duplicates based on searches, it requires human oversight due to the complexity of analyzing data fields. I believe integrating AI into the product could work, particularly after a solid data migration, which ensures that the records are reliable before utilizing AI for analytics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a solid, reliable product with a robust development history and good support behind them."
"We found, most valuable, the ability to view all the information about all of our Items (previously in 8 different systems) in one screen."
"We chose this solution because it has built-in SAP data model configuration rules, data validation rules, preconfigured workflow, staging possibilities, and built-in status tracking and reporting."
"Additionally, the solution complies with all industry standards and validates all aspects from security to authorization and authentication as applicable at the backend, providing room for easy maintenance."
"This is a high-quality solution and provides for proper governance, is user-friendly, and enables us to get a lot of customized reports and personalized data so there is no need to have different applications to check data quality."
"The product is easy to use and is beneficial from a data governance perspective."
"The ability to identify and manage duplicate data is valuable. The solution automatically checks for duplication possibilities based on criteria like name matching."
"Pricing for SAP Master Data Governance in the latest scenario depends on each version, offering a robust and user-friendly application."
"Some of the features that I have found to be beneficial are the search and uploads functions."
"The new workflow engine is based on the web app rather than the Java-based approach."
 

Cons

"Some of our users are very picky. This is common, but almost none like the out-of-box report writing, specifically the Ad-hoc reports."
"It has essentially been "frozen" by Oracle - they don't seem to be updating it any further."
"The SAP MDG setup is quite difficult. I would rate the initial setup at three out of five because it is complicated and very difficult."
"It could benefit from integration of its components through a central console and reduction of ABAP code for custom functions using 4GL."
"RiverFront is a more modern and cost-effective solution compared to MDG. It is flexible and designed to handle big data, which MDG does not support well."
"For technical support, I rate it between one and five, as I have 1.5 years of technical experience and around two years of technical alongside five years of techno-functional consulting experience."
"It does not ensure data matches after system upgrades."
"They should improve the solution's performance as sometimes the process consumes much time."
"The biggest problem in MDG is that you have to make rules and you have to set your rules very strictly and you need to prepare your data for your rules."
"Rating the pricing of SAP Master Data Governance is challenging. It is an expensive product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"SAP Master Data Governance is a licensed product. While there might be no upfront cost for the MDG component itself, you still need to pay for user authorizations."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"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."
"The cost of the product is not ideal."
"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive product."
"The solution is costly."
