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.

Used to manage the complete attributes of products, but its installation could be a little bit easier

The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. It's not difficult for people to learn to use the solution. Oracle provides training to use the solution through many training videos available on Oracle University. I would recommend the solution to other users. Once you create an item in the solution, it will be automatically available in other modules. The solution is fully integrated with other Oracle models. If you want to integrate the solution with non-Oracle modules, you have to work on it. There are always options to integrate the solution with non-Oracle applications. It would be easier to integrate the solution with other Oracle applications because there are options to do so. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The stability is fine, as it is built for large-scale industrial usage and worked without a problem at Lloyds Bank where we were dealing with 300 million transactions a day."

"For the company I work for, not having MDM is not an option."

"It is a great product for your workflow, with seamless integration processes (batch, real time and near real), availability of exhaustive customization feature (Java-based and Script-based), business rules and validation framework, good technical support."

More IBM InfoSphere MDM pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management of the complete attributes of products and services."

Cons

"If you are a small company, it is more likely overkill."

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

"The master data, and the reference data management in the toolset are not good."

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

"It's complex because of the poor quality of the documentation."

"It needs a better database."

"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."

More IBM InfoSphere MDM cons

"The solution's installation could be a little bit easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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