Beneficial flexible data models, effective GUI workflows, and feature rich application
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 should improve the UI, to allow users to easily mass change the data a bit more. We should not have to click the records one by one to change the data. The filter is in a form, and if one is to filter the data based on a form, you have to click every single attribute. It is difficult with the UI. However, one could be inspired by mobile phone UIs, how they are doing it because they are more efficient and this is missing in TIBCO EBX.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica MDM's most valuable feature is the interconnection between multiple Master Data domains."
"It has improved our organization because it has made our data more reliable. Data is the most important asset these days, and in order to trust your data, you need these tools to make sure that your data is clean and reliable."
"In the latest version, I like the outlay of the business roles creation. I like seeing that visualization as you're building it, as opposed to going through metatables or XML mappings. We liked that piece, and it makes it more intuitive for the business."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"The ability to aggregate and put together data from around fifty sources into one environment allows us to have a preview of everything in a single place, which is something we did not have previously in our company."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"​The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"It's good for tool management, maintaining the golden record of customer status."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The data quality is very good."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
 

Cons

"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"The biggest pain point for us is the documentation. Typically, you have to go through knowledge forums and knowledge groups to find out about the syntax issues for interfacing with new products. Typically, you've got to deal with someone who has been through the pain before. Their documents are not really up to date with current innovations happening in the industry. As big as they are, you can't really expect it, but that's our pain point."
"Data integration should be improved."
"The product could be improved in the area of architecture and technology. All the parts are old."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"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."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing nine and a half out of ten."
"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."
"I rate the licensing cost of Informatica MDM a five out of ten."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"It's offers value for money. They're more competitive with respect to pricing and offerings."
"The price is comparable."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"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."
