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.

An MDM tool that offers stability, scalability, and an easy setup phase
I use TIBCO EBX as an MDM tool in my company REST API interfaces can be considered to be the best feature of TIBCO EBX. The tool offers a good user interface. Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX. It would be great to use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX. Right now, TIBCO EBX…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives you accountability to centralize your data and have it available to different applications."
"The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"I like the connectivity and richness of features for the technical team, the maturity of the product, and that it had a cloud version. There is Informatica Cloud, and it is part of the Informatica Cloud platform."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"MDM is very stable - it can handle millions of hits daily and still run 24/7."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Address Doctor gives an accurate combination of information provided with a level of returned threshold value."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The data quality is very good."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."

Cons

"The UI is extremely complex"
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"Their UI needs improvement. Their scorecards and reporting also need improvement. Their data quality reporting, especially their dashboards and scorecards, is lackluster at best. Its reporting capabilities are limited. If you want to do anything beyond its limited reporting capabilities, then you're going to have to use an external reporting tool such as Power BI or something like that."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools to streamline the operation."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."

"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'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
