Integrates with other third-party solutions, but Bill of materials (BOM) creation needs to be enhanced
We are trying to get the cloud solution of SAP Master Data Governance for multiple clients, which requires more improvement. Bill of materials (BOM) creation in manufacturing needs to be enhanced in SAP Master Data Governance. Clients have also suggested improvements in managing a hierarchy and ensuring that you maintain and work on the hierarchy side.
Lourens Janse Van Rensburg - PeerSpot reviewer
An MDM tool that offers stability, scalability, and an easy setup phase
Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX. It would be great to use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX. Right now, TIBCO EBX only supports Java, but I believe that it should support SQL queries on its interface. In short, certain areas in the UI area can be improved to support SQL queries.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Master Data Governance integrates well."
"Validates all aspects from security to authorization and authentication."
"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."
"The scalability is very good."
"The product is easy to use and is beneficial from a data governance perspective."
"SAP MDG has built-in integration capabilities with multiple systems/streams. We can also create custom interfaces if needed."
"I like how the solution integrates with other SAP tools and third-party solutions."
"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."
"The data quality is very good."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"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."
"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."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
 

Cons

"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."
"The multidomain MDM feature is based on EIP systems, which may not be a good model for all master data."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The implementation could be easier."
"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."
"The profiling feature, especially for materials, needs improvement. We faced challenges maintaining specific details for a single material from multiple vendors."
"RiverFront is a more modern and cost-effective solution compared to MDG. It is flexible and designed to handle big data, which MDG does not support well."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"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."
"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 could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"The cost of the product is not ideal."
"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 pricing is a bit too high."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
