Provides inbuilt data model and good matching engine

It's a tough tool for developers. Right now in the market, I think Informatica MDM is number one and is used a lot. IBM MDM was developed by some other company and IBM developed it more. There are definitely some flaws. The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers. Generally, customers can understand Informatica MDM and its functionality easily. If a developer is facing issues with IBM MDM, then a customer will definitely not understand most of the functionality. That is the main concern. IBM is introducing some Next-Gen MDM, where they are using a lot of current technologies and machine learning. Most of the problems we may be facing right now are probably solved in that version.

Great user interface, very good documentation, and offers excellent pricing

They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality. That was the tiebreaker between Profisee and Semarchy - the client had a SQL server development environment and they could do a lot of stuff using the SQL server SDK to do complicated dynamic workflows. With Profisee, it wasn't impossible, however, it was a little bit more complicated to do. Semarchy is working on making it possible. I almost don't want to even say that that would be room for improvement, as I know that they're working. They may have already solved it. They could put a little bit more energy into out-of-the-box reporting. That was one of the things that I saw in Profisee that wasn't even really marketed that much. I wasn't even looking to their reporting features until I implemented it. At that point, I was like, "Oh my gosh, look at all this out-of-the-box data quality reporting that's going on! I don't have to necessarily go out and build all these reports from scratch." I was pleasantly surprised to see that in Profisee. I don't know that Semarchy has put the energy into that. They may have, but it certainly not to the extent that the other solution did.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When users update their information on one product, the data is sent to a database. My approach was to maintain a master data record, ensuring that each platform loads the latest updated record. Instead of having three separate records, the system keeps one master data record, storing the historical records for reference."

"The advantage is that the matching engine is very good, so that's why customers generally prefer it. From the inbuilt data model perspective, IBM MDM is good."

"There are not really many areas of the product that need improvement because the product stays up-to-date with data management needs."

"The features that are most valuable are the governance, the end-profiling and the ETL which allows you to see the metadata repositories."

"Their documentation is excellent."

Cons

"The product is really only created for large organizations."

"We also want better cloud integration, so we could do things in the cloud if we needed to. This would be a good feature to add in a future release."

"IBM InfoSphere MDM's UI is complicated. It also needs to improve its on-prem configuration."

"The tool is difficult to understand from a customer perspective and for developers."

"They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It may be costly for small organizations but adds value for large organizations with demanding workflows."
