Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a stable solution. I have no complaints."
"I like their matching feature, and the survivorship rules are very strong. I also like their out-of-box reports, data quality dashboards, and more. Those are also very handy and helpful. Internally, I like the kind of configurations that we can create, validations, and enhancements. Those configurations are pretty straightforward and useful. It's a user-friendly tool that is very cool."
"Has a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly."
"This is an all-around good product."
"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."
"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."
"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."
"Some of the features that I have found to be beneficial are the search and uploads functions."
"The scalability is very good."
"SAP MDG has built-in integration capabilities with multiple systems/streams. We can also create custom interfaces if needed."
 

Cons

"The solution does not have a good match and search capability."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
"Integration could be better. Riversand is majorly focusing on only the MDM hub part. They don't have their own integration platform. We have to rely on a third-party integration partner. They say this is the format, and it's the client's responsibility to bring the data into their required format. They have to have an integration partner and develop their integration capabilities. It's not so flexible to read any data format or system, for example, SAP. They don't have a connector."
"The price can be improved."
"There is no clarity and direction on how to manage bills of materials (BOMs) or routing in MDG."
"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."
"SAP could do better in attracting talent and simplifying technology adoption."
"The UI could improve by being more neat and clean. Sometimes users find it difficult to use it."
"They should improve the solution's performance as sometimes the process consumes much time."
"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
"The solution is costly."
"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 licensing cost is reasonable."
"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."
"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 product."
