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.
Chetan Thote - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."
"The match engine is very good and the BPM solution is very good as well."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX saves a lot of time and gives considerable flexibility to business users who might not be completely technical but can work on it in specific areas."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The data quality is very good."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"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 data modeling is very good."
 

Cons

"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 search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"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."
"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 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."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"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."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."

"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"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."
