Enhanced data quality with machine learning support in diverse environments
We used Ataccama ONE to read data from the mainframe for a data quality perspective. There's a significant lack in that area with tools being able to interface with mainframe. MetLife has a diverse environment, including DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, legacy, and vSAN files. Being able to work in these various environments and put them to a single data quality tool was very appealing. Additionally, Ataccama supported AI and machine learning, which was one of the features I liked. Furthermore, we were able to interface bidirectionally with Collibra for data governance, catching data quality issues before propagating through the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."
"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."
"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."
"Customer service was excellent, and I would give it a ten out of ten."
"Validates all aspects from security to authorization and authentication."
"The most valuable thing is what it does: data management."
"The product is easy to use and is beneficial from a data governance perspective."
"The scalability is very good."
"User-friendly and provides customized reports and personalized data."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of SAP Master Data Governance is very easy."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like how the solution integrates with other SAP tools and third-party solutions."
 

Cons

"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."
"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."
"Data movement is a pain."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"Bill of materials (BOM) creation in manufacturing needs to be enhanced in SAP Master Data Governance."
"There is no clarity and direction on how to manage bills of materials (BOMs) or routing in MDG."
"The UI could improve by being more neat and clean. Sometimes users find it difficult to use it."
"The documentation provided for the MDG extensions by Utopia could be improved."
"SAP could do better in attracting talent and simplifying technology adoption."
"The price can be improved."
"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."
"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The cost of the product is not ideal."
"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive product."
"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 product is too expensive."
"The solution is costly."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."
