Reltio: Question about Master Data Management Capabilities

Riversand technology is leader in the MDM space and makes a product called MDMcenter. Gartner and Forrester put these guys in a leader and visionary quadrant topping Informatica, oracle, and sap. They have a product used by many fortune 1000s and multinational companies. I have rolled out MDM solutions for a bunch of customers using different platforms and Riversand's is the best. They have cloud based and on premise solutions. It can scale from small projects to biggest implementations of the planet, different geographies/locations, langauges and near infinite entities. Their licensing can vary based on required modules; but they offer Matching, Deduplication, Searching, Workflow, Modeling, Analytics, Integration, Domain / cross-domain, Governance tools to change / commit / rollback. The applications modeling and framework is flexible so it can handle any domain, product, retail, manufacturing, customer, vendor, finance, investment vehicles, jewelry, oil and gas, person, auto, high tech, oil gas, fast food, grocery, etc. Hands down this is best product in its class. It's top shelf. Given the choice and having used other products, I'd choice Riversand over the other competing products. If you didn't check them out yet, you definitely should.

Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated

Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

Offers features that pinpoints locations with maps and provides reporting about data performance and completeness

Until I work with a customer, I won't be able to recognize the performance regarding the integration of records, especially when records are coming in as a full load or a delta after an initial load. I have to check how it performs in the integration part when pushing the entire data into MDM. Most tools have a downside in this area. So far, I have not faced any other problems regarding Reltio. I just did a certification and the provided hands-on exercises. I didn't find anything concerning, but I would definitely want to use the AI features introduced in Reltio more. The Hands-on Lab in the certification allows you to try out certain AI features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."

"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."

"It is a highly scalable solution."

"MDM doesn't require a separate IDQ."

"The solution scales well."

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."

"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."

"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."

"It is a scalable product, and the scalability is good. We can configure users."

"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."

"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."

"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."

"The survivorship feature is great because we can define it, prioritize the sources, and only allow those sources to survive when making the golden record."

"It is very easy to learn. The"

"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."

More Reltio Cloud pros

Cons

"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."

"The price modeling could be more flexible."

"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."

"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."

"The pricing model is problematic."

"There is room for improvement in the Data Marketplace aspect."

"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."

"Managing the licenses with the on-premises version was difficult."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."

"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."

"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."

"Initially, the UI was limited in features."

"The deployment is difficult."

"The download process can be quite slow"

"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."

"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."

More Reltio Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a 50% discount."

"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."

"It's a costly solution"

"The pricing is quite flexible."

"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."

"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"We have licenses, and we are provided with certain particular services in the solution."

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."
