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.

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."

"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."

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

"There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."

"Their documentation is excellent."

"Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product."

Cons

"The product is really only created for large organizations."

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

"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."

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

"There is room for improvement in the developer experience, particularly for those who are SQL proficient, as having more direct access would be beneficial."

"They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It may be costly for small organizations but adds value for large organizations with demanding workflows."
