Integration with existing tools enhances data handling capabilities
DBM allows integration with SQL Server, which is beneficial for Microsoft. While we are only downloading at the moment, we have tested some uploads, and the performance seems better than Data Loader, though it is more complicated. Both products use recommended security protocols, and we don't worry about their security.

• Data in the datahub refreshes nightly. As the data only refreshes once every day, it is necessary to have to wait for any changes to thesource systems to become available.The daily refresh can be extremely useful for reconciling data. • DataHub only displays details of current members of the Organization. So it has much limited data available for generation of dynamic reports. • DataHub is volatile. The records are completely re-loaded each day. It puts burden on the system. • There are very few summary tables available due to storage of data in a detailed format. • The detailed information is not stored in the DataHub. It is stored in the relevant source system. Only commonly required data is stored within the DataHub.
