Reltio: Question about Master Data Management Capabilities

Riversand technology is leader in the MDM space and makes a product called MDMcenter. Gartner and Forrester put these guys in a leader and visionary quadrant topping Informatica, oracle, and sap. They have a product used by many fortune 1000s and multinational companies. I have rolled out MDM solutions for a bunch of customers using different platforms and Riversand's is the best. They have cloud based and on premise solutions. It can scale from small projects to biggest implementations of the planet, different geographies/locations, langauges and near infinite entities. Their licensing can vary based on required modules; but they offer Matching, Deduplication, Searching, Workflow, Modeling, Analytics, Integration, Domain / cross-domain, Governance tools to change / commit / rollback. The applications modeling and framework is flexible so it can handle any domain, product, retail, manufacturing, customer, vendor, finance, investment vehicles, jewelry, oil and gas, person, auto, high tech, oil gas, fast food, grocery, etc. Hands down this is best product in its class. It's top shelf. Given the choice and having used other products, I'd choice Riversand over the other competing products. If you didn't check them out yet, you definitely should.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing

There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product seems stable enough."

"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks."

"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"I use AddressDoctor to validate addresses on an e-commerce site; it is simple to use and the results are always correct."

"It's a stable product without any bugs or glitches."

"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."

"The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."

"Informatica MDM has data quality, mastering the data's capability."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

"With this application, if data was entered manually with a system whose data we migrated onto the DRM system, we can automate 90% of that manual entry."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."

"As a product that integrates out of the box with Oracle EBS and Hyperion the product has proved to be a great step forward in allowing us to manage reference data across multiple platforms and something that we were able to deploy quite easily."

"DRM customer service is top notch since it is a small set of people that use it."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."

"Implementing the workflow portion of DRM which is called Data Relationship Governance (DRG) the client cut that time down to an hour."

Cons

"Though EDC has maximum coverage, a few things were not available to scan, but I think EDC is evolving to address this issue."

"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."

"Informatica goes down for maintenance quite a lot due to the upgrades."

"With limited data it's fine, but with a large volume the scalability is questionable, the threshold of data transaction is different."

"We cannot sell the product directly with an additional layer."

"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."

"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."

"I remember when I used it, there was some limitation in one of the data quality dimensions. I was not able to perform certain tasks on the cloud version, even though I could do them on the data center version."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"The ROI will be a few years. DRM/DRG is really expensive."

"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."

"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."

"Integrating with non-Oracle products needs improvement, it only provides a text output file."

"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."

"If you hard-code values into the properties, you'll get customer complaints that DRM is "running slow."

"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."

"You pay for this solution based on IPUs, Informatica Processing Units. This depends on how much data you process and how much memory you consume from the cloud provider, and you pay as you go."

"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."

"It's a very expensive solution"

"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest and ten is the most expensive. The product is a bit expensive."

"We are quite happy with the licensing model."

"Informatica MDM is a costly solution because it comes as a bundle. They are also globally positioning themselves and are definitely working on very upgraded technologies. If someone wanted to do it on the cloud, they have a lot of flexibility because they upgrade themselves according to the current needs. It definitely comes with a lot of features and that's the reason why it's costly. The licensing cost should be approximately one million dollars. It's about four to five times that of other vendors."
