Unified data has created trusted golden records but complex AI matching still needs clearer control
Reltio Cloud has greatly enhanced our data management, and I acknowledge there are areas where our team continues to face challenges. Specifically, the AI-based matching feature operates like a black box, making it difficult to understand why certain records are matched or not matched accurately. If there could be better visual debugging and clarity regarding why records are matched, it would significantly aid our decision-making process. The technical configuration, particularly regarding data models and rule matching, can be overly complex for business users, hence a more user-friendly approach, with simplified guidelines, would be incredibly beneficial. Additionally, data stewardship can present complexities, and clearer actions can facilitate addressing these challenges. Performance issues can arise with larger data models and numerous data sources impacting system use, hence enhancements in optimization and ready-to-use features for complex configurations are essential. Pricing can also be convoluted; therefore, a clearer cost model would aid users in comprehending the structure. While data lineage has its merits, it is complex to interpret; thus, improved visualization would greatly benefit users. Ultimately, technical complexity emerges as the primary challenge we face, revealing opportunities for improvement.

Modular design, product-based MDM and easy to setup
Stibo is a great product if you want to utilize it in product-based MDM. Customer-base, they are still growing, but product-base is fine because every single time you have to create hierarchies in the product and not care about all the other stuff. But the major thing is the hierarchy, at which particular type that product is and what that product does, how it looks, what is the catalog, what are the relationships with other stuff. So, from that note, Stibo is great. Around 20 to 25 people were there when I was on a particular project. I knew around 20 to 25 people who knew Stibo MDM and were part of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"It is a scalable product, and the scalability is good. We can configure users."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"Reltio Cloud offers advantages over competitors, including a dashboard with a good amount of detail that looks significantly better than Informatica or Stibo."
"Reltio Cloud has positively impacted my organization because we were able to promote our data and sell data to our customers."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"The match engine is very good and the BPM solution is very good as well."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."
"The match engine and the BPM solution are very good and are satisfying us right now."
"Data profiling allows us to recognize values from our upstream applications. It helps us place limits on the creation of new data domains to organize the ecosystem. The golden record, crucial for downstream applications, ensures data integrity and consistency."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
"It's powerful and it's stable."
"The solution is very feature-rich out of the box, it's highly customizable and configurable, and the way you can build workflows and business rules is very powerful."
 

Cons

"The deployment is difficult."
"The support team is slow to respond when we need assistance with workflow deployments. We must rely on their availability and contact them to receive the required JAR files."
"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."
"Ultimately, technical complexity emerges as the primary challenge we face, revealing opportunities for improvement."
"The customer support is adequate, but not exceptional."
"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."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"The analytics module can be improved. It is a self-service solution for creating new reports and submitting visions to bring more data to the CEO table."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI. Also, some options that are used regularly should be on the front page so that the user does not have to dig deep to find them."
"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It took three or four times the amount of time we expected it to."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."
"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."
"In terms of stability, integration using APIs is not that stable. We are having some problems with its ability to integrate with the platform through APIs."
