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.

Senior Presales Consultant at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources

We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

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

"We decided to switch to TIBCO EBX because we can organize the data, and it helps manage this data for an accurate and consistent view of the physical business data."

"The API and the data model are very valuable features."

"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."

"The data quality is very good."

"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."

"We decided to switch to TIBCO EBX because we can organize the data, and it helps manage this data for an accurate and consistent view of the physical business data."

"It is easy to code, especially because it is coded in Java."

"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."

More TIBCO EBX pros

Cons

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

"The initial setup is complex."

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

"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."

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

"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."

"The design should be easier and more visual."

"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."

"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."

"We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."

"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."

"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."

"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."

"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."

"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
