Effective service consolidation, new features frequent added, and beneficial centralized management

My advice to others would be IBM Master Data Management on Cloud should be considered as one of the solutions in comparison with other cloud providers in that area. Compare other solutions, such as Azure or AWS Endure data management. Based on some of the projects that we have had most customers have been extremely satisfied, I rate IBM Master Data Management on Cloud a nine out of ten.

Offers features that pinpoints locations with maps and provides reporting about data performance and completeness

Until I work with a customer, I won't be able to recognize the performance regarding the integration of records, especially when records are coming in as a full load or a delta after an initial load. I have to check how it performs in the integration part when pushing the entire data into MDM. Most tools have a downside in this area. So far, I have not faced any other problems regarding Reltio. I just did a certification and the provided hands-on exercises. I didn't find anything concerning, but I would definitely want to use the AI features introduced in Reltio more. The Hands-on Lab in the certification allows you to try out certain AI features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IBM Master Data Management on Cloud has been valuable because it has helped in the consolidation of services and lots of the cost of administering and centralizing all the management and automation. Additionally, new features are frequently added."

"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"

"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."

"It is very easy to learn. The"

"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."

"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."

"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."

"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."

"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."

More Reltio Cloud pros

"The flexibility of Semarchy xDM allows for possible deployment on-premises, in the cloud, or both."

"Their documentation is excellent."

"Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product."

Cons

"The solution is continually being improved by adding features. They should continue to improve the solution in the future."

"The support team is slow to respond when we need assistance with workflow deployments. We must rely on their availability and contact them to receive the required JAR files."

"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."

"The deployment is difficult."

"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."

"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."

"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."

"The download process can be quite slow"

"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."

More Reltio Cloud cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of local support."

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

"There is room for improvement in the developer experience, particularly for those who are SQL proficient, as having more direct access would be beneficial."
