Provides inbuilt data model and good matching engine
It's a tough tool for developers. Right now in the market, I think Informatica MDM is number one and is used a lot. IBM MDM was developed by some other company and IBM developed it more. There are definitely some flaws. The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers. Generally, customers can understand Informatica MDM and its functionality easily. If a developer is facing issues with IBM MDM, then a customer will definitely not understand most of the functionality. That is the main concern. IBM is introducing some Next-Gen MDM, where they are using a lot of current technologies and machine learning. Most of the problems we may be facing right now are probably solved in that version.

Has an adaptive approach, a friendly UI, and good integration capabilities
The Profisee user interface has positively impacted our data management. As a data architect and enterprise developer, I have seen that it is convenient for the data storage team to complete their work. The interface is visually clear and easy to understand, streamlining the entire process. Profisee's scalability and integration capabilities with other systems are highly effective, particularly within an Azure-centric environment. Its seamless integration with Azure services like Purview enables comprehensive data lifecycle management, including data lineage and management. Implementing Profisee has potentially made our time to market for new products and services more efficient. Qualifying master data and making it available downstream for data consumption seems smoother now. As a bank, our response to data availability might differ from other industries like advertising. Overall, I see positive impacts from using Profisee. I would recommend Profisee to others, but it depends on various factors such as how well it fits with their business domain, cost considerations, and resource availability. If they have centralized their data in Azure, Profisee is a no-brainer for data management. Overall, I would rate Profisee as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

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."
"The features that are most valuable are the governance, the end-profiling and the ETL which allows you to see the metadata repositories."
"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."
"There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
 

Cons

"IBM InfoSphere MDM's UI is complicated. It also needs to improve its on-prem configuration."
"The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers."
"The product is really only created for large organizations."
"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."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It may be costly for small organizations but adds value for large organizations with demanding workflows."
"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
