Has an adaptive approach, a friendly UI, and good integration capabilities
The Profisee user interface has positively impacted our data management. As a data architect and enterprise developer, I have seen that it is convenient for the data storage team to complete their work. The interface is visually clear and easy to understand, streamlining the entire process. Profisee's scalability and integration capabilities with other systems are highly effective, particularly within an Azure-centric environment. Its seamless integration with Azure services like Purview enables comprehensive data lifecycle management, including data lineage and management. Implementing Profisee has potentially made our time to market for new products and services more efficient. Qualifying master data and making it available downstream for data consumption seems smoother now. As a bank, our response to data availability might differ from other industries like advertising. Overall, I see positive impacts from using Profisee. I would recommend Profisee to others, but it depends on various factors such as how well it fits with their business domain, cost considerations, and resource availability. If they have centralized their data in Azure, Profisee is a no-brainer for data management. Overall, I would rate Profisee as an eight out of ten.

Integrates with other third-party solutions, but Bill of materials (BOM) creation needs to be enhanced
We are trying to get the cloud solution of SAP Master Data Governance for multiple clients, which requires more improvement. Bill of materials (BOM) creation in manufacturing needs to be enhanced in SAP Master Data Governance. Clients have also suggested improvements in managing a hierarchy and ensuring that you maintain and work on the hierarchy side.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"I like how the solution integrates with other SAP tools and third-party solutions."
"Useful for building master data."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of SAP Master Data Governance is very easy."
"The data capturing and data governance features are valuable."
"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."
"Validates all aspects from security to authorization and authentication."
"SAP MDG has built-in integration capabilities with multiple systems/streams. We can also create custom interfaces if needed."
"Some of the features that I have found to be beneficial are the search and uploads functions."
 

Cons

"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
"The technical support should be improved."
"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."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The solution lacks some flexibility."
"SAP could do better in attracting talent and simplifying technology adoption."
"There were challenges with handling multiple values within a single input field at the screen level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
"The cost of the product is not ideal."
"We have an enterprise license. The whole SAP landscape pricing model is based on the number of users, and the number of transactions. The price could be better, there is always room for improvement in the price."
"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 product is too expensive."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."
