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.

"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."

"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

"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."

"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."

"The match engine is very good and the BPM solution is very good as well."

"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."

"It's powerful and it's stable."

Cons

"The platform's pricing needs improvement."

"The solution lacks some flexibility."

"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."

"The user interface is not user-friendly."

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

"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."

"The implementation could be easier."

"The UI could improve by being more neat and clean. Sometimes users find it difficult to use it."

More SAP Master Data Governance cons

"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."

"The initial setup is complex."

"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."

"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit too high."

"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive product."

"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."

"The solution is costly."

"The cost of the product is not ideal."

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

"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."
