Offers good stability, helpful in integration but maintenance is time-consuming
The speed with which the data should be moved could be improved because of the firewall. It's becoming quite slow. And the integration with Teams or with Microsoft is not so smooth. So these are the areas of improvement. So, probably, they might even look for some upgrades or some changes over there. But these are the two key areas that we are facing issues with. One is the data moves a bit slow, and the integration within Microsoft products. Maintenance is another issue that takes a lot of time and money. It can be a challenge in the long term.

Scalable, stable, and offers good technical support
SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management. What I'd like to see from SAP Data Quality Management in the future is the integration of machines on the shop floor or a feature that connects shop floor devices. I'd also like a custom dashboard in the solution, though I wonder if that's available in the new version. The old version my company uses doesn't have that. Another feature I want in the next release of SAP Data Quality Management is better communication between the ME and the SAP systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."
"We use it for various use cases, including data provisioning, data validation, continuous monitoring of data quality, and data standardization."
"A great product enrichment tool."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"It is very useful for testing purposes and designing mappings for small projects. If you go for IDQ in the mapping itself, you can see the data. You can then correct it, and test it so easily. It is working fine. It is also stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."
"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"Our primary use case is for us to inspect the results from the product and material, and for releasing or leaving the status of the product."
"We work with API standards or norms for internal applications, so it's essential for SSE to have tests and pass those tests according to the criteria, which makes SAP Data Quality Management very important for our products."
 

Cons

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"The tool could be improved in terms of ease of use, particularly for those without technical expertise. Understanding and extracting data from the table-based structure requires some SQL knowledge and technical skills. Additionally, while Informatica MDM has moved towards a cloud-based MDM with a UI similar to Reltio, I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its effectiveness."
"SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management."
"I would like for them to develop a feature to able to record all of our inspections; so all the data can go through SAP. It's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Pricing is determined by the number of licensed users as well as the number of Core CPUs."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"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."
