CR
A stable solution with multiple workflow capabilities, but lightweight DAM capabilities and lacking a good search and match feature
The solution does not have a good match and search capability. It only has a basic, exact match search. Any upgrades to the search and match capability, seeing non-exact or fuzzy matches for example, would be good improvements. Also, the DAM solution provided by Riversand is comparatively lightweight, so you are still dependent on a third-party DAM solution provider, like Team Seven, to make it a complete solution. Some improvement in the DAM area would be a major help. From a data quality perspective, there are not a lot of data quality rules that can be enabled. Also, there is no specific data quality engine available, unlike Informatica, where you have the option of leveraging the PIM tool for data quality capabilities. Plus, you can leverage apps out of IDQ and make them available in PIM. If these kinds of options were made available in Riversand, they would definitely be welcome features.

Beneficial flexible data models, effective GUI workflows, and feature rich application
Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better. TIBCO EBX should improve the UI, to allow users to easily mass change the data a bit more. We should not have to click the records one by one to change the data. The filter is in a form, and if one is to filter the data based on a form, you have to click every single attribute. It is difficult with the UI. However, one could be inspired by mobile phone UIs, how they are doing it because they are more efficient and this is missing in TIBCO EBX.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's a stable solution. I have no complaints."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The data modeling is very good."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."
 

Cons

"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 ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
"The solution does not have a good match and search capability."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
