Scalable, stable, and offers good technical support

SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management. What I'd like to see from SAP Data Quality Management in the future is the integration of machines on the shop floor or a feature that connects shop floor devices. I'd also like a custom dashboard in the solution, though I wonder if that's available in the new version. The old version my company uses doesn't have that. Another feature I want in the next release of SAP Data Quality Management is better communication between the ME and the SAP systems.

Great for collecting, monitoring and planning storage capacity; functionality could be improved

I would like to see the granularity of the configuration reduced from a global or an application level to the object level, together with the ability to archive data retention and make reporting and indexes faster. I'd also like the ability to get inside the individual information collections on a more specific level and to get information directly related to a topic. They currently have BIRT, a business information reporting tool and I'm forced to use that to extrapolate information unless I want to go through the command line which has very poorly documented access. They put out a syntax and then you have to experiment to figure out how it actually works. One area of improvement would be the documentation on the application, its third party dependencies, and the functionality of the command line features. I think improvements could be made in performance. I have some situations where I can throw more resources than the application can handle, and I will not get better performance. The issue is that indexing is single-threaded so I'll never be able to make one thread faster. If it could be done in parallel threads, it would all be more efficient. With a date timestamp I'm limited to a single thread, those are the limitations in the threading model of the application. The threading model creates bottlenecks all over the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We work with API standards or norms for internal applications, so it's essential for SSE to have tests and pass those tests according to the criteria, which makes SAP Data Quality Management very important for our products."

"Our primary use case is for us to inspect the results from the product and material, and for releasing or leaving the status of the product."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."

"The solution is very fast."

"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."

"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."

Cons

"SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system.

It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management."

"I would like for them to develop a feature to able to record all of our inspections; so all the data can go through SAP. It's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."

"The solution could improve by incorporating other applications, such as Power BI to show more visualization. More interaction with other solutions would be a good benefit."

"The support team is not very responsive."

"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."

"Granularity could be reduced from an application level to the object level."

"Performance could be improved."

"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."

"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."

"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
