Embrace efficient data management with integrated features but anticipate some enhancement needs
This tool itself is new. SAP Data Quality Management was brought in by SAP recently, maybe a year or two years back. We just started implementing and we still have not heard exact feedback from the client. It would not be correct if I give feedback now because I don't have accurate feedback from client usage. I feel it is a good tool with some limitations. We compared it with Celonis, which is also one of the other tools in the market. I am more into SAP and S4 HANA, so I am not familiar with all the best tools available in Data Quality Management which can be compatible with SAP. We know there are issues with SAP Data Quality Management. The advantage of this tool that SAP brought is that it is already in-built. You don't need to build another application layer on top of the existing one. The compatibility and response time for these applications within the same database is faster.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This application has allowed my teams of developers to transfer data quickly and easily from SQL databases into Oracle databases."
"Best profiling tool available, scalability, automatic linking between data and business glossary, parallel framework, accurate probabilistic matching, scientific justification of matching"
"These days I would choose it by default as compared to any other product."
"Customer service is really good."
"The scalability within the SAP function is good."
"Our primary use case is for us to inspect the results from the product and material, and for releasing or leaving the status of the product."
"Scalability is good."
"We work with API standards or norms for internal applications, so it's essential for SSE to have tests and pass those tests according to the criteria, which makes SAP Data Quality Management very important for our products."
 

Cons

"It’s good for experienced users and not for novices."
"There is a longer deployment time, it is a complex cost model, and has a longer learning curve as it is meant for complex cleansing."
"It's difficult to get the overall knowledge if you are coming from java or similar engages."
"The documentation is not very straightforward and a little difficult to navigate."
"I would like for them to develop a feature to be able to record all of our inspections so all the data can go through SAP; it's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."
"I would like for them to develop a feature to able to record all of our inspections; so all the data can go through SAP. It's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."
"SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management."
"There are some limitations. They are not covering complete scenarios for all the modules."
