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 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

"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."

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

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

"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"

"It is very easy to learn. The"

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

"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."

More Reltio Cloud pros

"The ability to identify and manage duplicate data is valuable. The solution automatically checks for duplication possibilities based on criteria like name matching."

"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of SAP Master Data Governance is very easy."

"User-friendly and provides customized reports and personalized data."

"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."

"The data capturing and data governance features are valuable."

"SAP MDG has extensive data models and good integration with upstream and downstream systems."

"The solution is great at standardizing all of our records."

"SAP is a closed tool. Integrating with it requires a lot of effort and money. It is also very expensive and not flexible."

More SAP Master Data Governance pros

Cons

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

"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."

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

"The deployment is difficult."

"Initially, the UI was limited in features."

"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."

"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."

"The download process can be quite slow"

More Reltio Cloud cons

"There is no clarity and direction on how to manage bills of materials (BOMs) or routing in MDG."

"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."

"The multidomain MDM feature is based on EIP systems, which may not be a good model for all master data."

"The product is not user-friendly."

"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 does not ensure data matches after system upgrades."

"The implementation could be easier."

"The profiling feature, especially for materials, needs improvement. We faced challenges maintaining specific details for a single material from multiple vendors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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 cost of the product is not ideal."

"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."

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."

"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."

"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."

"The licensing cost is reasonable."

"The product is too expensive."
