IBM InfoSphere MDM Reviews, Competitors and Pricing

Senior Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

We are able to identify fraudulent requests, but the stack architecture seems too complicated.

What is most valuable?

The ability to standardize and match names using a combination of global name recognition and an MDM server is a valuable feature for us.

How has it helped my organization?

We are able to streamline processes, identify fraudulent requests, and provide additional services.

What needs improvement?

At the time global name recognition was purely batch-oriented, as it needed to become transactional/real time. The stack architecture seems too complicated as a result of having too many components that needed to be built together.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for several years.

Scalability was sometimes a problems depending on the pre-selection criteria.

No previous solutions were used.

What other advice do I have?

Make sure to understand how MDM fits into the overall application landscape. Also, cross check the use of MDM against existing processes.
