"One of the most valuable features is that I don't need to buy a subscription for any functionality. With Informatica Cloud Data Management, I have all the functionality and features available. If I need to make an integration, I can go to that integration service. If I need to mask, provide, or clean some information, I can easily just pick up that feature and use it. It's very simple, and I have all the functions and capabilities I need to work with data."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"It's very easy to use."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"It has a very good feature called Excel plug-in. You just have to install the plug-in, and then it directly connects to the MDS instance where you can maintain and manage your data and publish it right through Excel. You don't need to go to the front end to make any changes. It has easy integration with SQL Server, and you can use SSIS to do the ETLs. It is a part of the Microsoft stack. It works with most of the Microsoft stuff."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"One thing Informatica could improve is the way IPUs are used. Each customer purchases a certain amount of IPUs per month, but you can use more or less than that defined quantity. The only problem is if you don't use the all your IPUs, they don't carry over into the next month. I think customers should have the ability to transfer unused IPUs into the next month or year. This improvement could help give customers more flexibility, especially since cloud solutions need flexibility in how we use and pay for them."
"The stability could be improved."
"From my understanding, MS, as of 2021, will not maintain the product going forward."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"I do not like using Silverlight and Internet Explorer. The new 2019 version gets rid of that, which is one of the reasons why we are looking to switch."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
