Provides inbuilt data model and good matching engine

Pros

"The advantage is that the matching engine is very good, so that's why customers generally prefer it. From the inbuilt data model perspective, IBM MDM is good."

Cons

" The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers."

Helps to store master data records but UI is complicated

Pros

"When users update their information on one product, the data is sent to a database. My approach was to maintain a master data record, ensuring that each platform loads the latest updated record. Instead of having three separate records, the system keeps one master data record, storing the historical records for reference."

Cons

"IBM InfoSphere MDM's UI is complicated. It also needs to improve its on-prem configuration. "

    Data management for large organizations that need a critical data management tool

    Pros

    It provided a gold copy of a customer database, and although probabilistic search is supported, this feature was not an out-of-the-box API until v11.4.

    Very good ETL and governance, but the solution needs better cloud integration

    Pros

    "The features that are most valuable are the governance, the end-profiling and the ETL which allows you to see the metadata repositories."

    Cons

    "We also want better cloud integration, so we could do things in the cloud if we needed to. This would be a good feature to add in a future release."

    It helps us solve regulatory requirements with regards to anti-money laundering, which is a must for a financial company. However, it needs a better database.
