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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"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."

"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 very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."

"It's powerful and it's stable."

Cons

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

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

"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."

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

"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 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 initial setup is complex."

"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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