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 feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."
"Useful for building master data."
"SAP MDG has extensive data models and good integration with upstream and downstream systems."
"SAP is a closed tool. Integrating with it requires a lot of effort and money. It is also very expensive and not flexible."
"The solution is great at standardizing all of our records."
"I am satisfied with the solution's customer service."
"SAP Master Data Governance integrates well."
"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."
"A good solution for large enterprises."
 

Cons

"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."
"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."
"RiverFront is a more modern and cost-effective solution compared to MDG. It is flexible and designed to handle big data, which MDG does not support well."
"Overall, they just a little bit more flexibility in terms of assigning roles or adding new roles. We have a longer approval process, so we need to break it down into more roles than what is typically available and we need to hard-code it."
"The documentation provided for the MDG extensions by Utopia could be improved."
"The profiling feature, especially for materials, needs improvement. We faced challenges maintaining specific details for a single material from multiple vendors."
"SAP could do better in attracting talent and simplifying technology adoption."
"The implementation could be easier."
"The UI could improve by being more neat and clean. Sometimes users find it difficult to use it."
"There were challenges with handling multiple values within a single input field at the screen level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is very, very high."
"SAP Master Data Governance is a licensed product. While there might be no upfront cost for the MDG component itself, you still need to pay for user authorizations."
"The product is too expensive."
"The solution is costly."
"The cloud solution is subscription-based, it is paid monthly or quarterly. If the solution is on-premises, it is a one-time fee. As far as I am aware there are no additional costs."
"The cost of the product is not ideal."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
