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.

Modular design, product-based MDM and easy to setup

Stibo is a great product if you want to utilize it in product-based MDM. Customer-base, they are still growing, but product-base is fine because every single time you have to create hierarchies in the product and not care about all the other stuff. But the major thing is the hierarchy, at which particular type that product is and what that product does, how it looks, what is the catalog, what are the relationships with other stuff. So, from that note, Stibo is great. Around 20 to 25 people were there when I was on a particular project. I knew around 20 to 25 people who knew Stibo MDM and were part of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Master Data Governance is a customizable solution and is flexible."

"The solution is great at standardizing all of our records."

"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."

"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of SAP Master Data Governance is very easy."

"The main purpose of SAP Master Data Governance is maintaining a single source of truth for enterprise data, and it helps a lot and works quite well."

More SAP Master Data Governance pros

"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."

"The match engine is very good and the BPM solution is very good as well."

"It's powerful and it's stable."

"Data profiling allows us to recognize values from our upstream applications. It helps us place limits on the creation of new data domains to organize the ecosystem. The golden record, crucial for downstream applications, ensures data integrity and consistency."

"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."

Cons

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

"There is no clarity and direction on how to manage bills of materials (BOMs) or routing in MDG."

"In general, I want artificial intelligence added to SAP Master Data Governance since I feel it is one of the areas where the solution has certain shortcomings."

"The platform's pricing needs improvement."

"The implementation could be easier."

"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."

"The solution lacks some flexibility."

"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."

More SAP Master Data Governance cons

"The initial setup is complex."

"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."

"The analytics module can be improved. It is a self-service solution for creating new reports and submitting visions to bring more data to the CEO table."

"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."

"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 cost of the product is not ideal."

"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 licensing cost is reasonable."

"The product is too expensive."

"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."
