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.

"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"A good solution for large enterprises."
"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."
"SAP Master Data Governance integrates well."
"The scalability is very good."
"SAP is a closed tool. Integrating with it requires a lot of effort and money. It is also very expensive and not flexible."
"I am satisfied with the solution's customer service."
"User-friendly and provides customized reports and personalized data."
"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."
 

Cons

"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
