We performed a comparison between Informatica MDM, Profisee, and TIBCO EBX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, TIBCO, Reltio and others in Cloud Master Data Management (MDM) Solutions.
"The most valuable features of Informatica MDM are its reliability, match functions, and integration capabilities. The out-of-box functionality of deduplication and built-in data models ensure faster implementation."
"The data quality component is very good."
"I like that Informatica MDM has robust matching technology. Informatica MDM is also porting the external Java applications for validations. I can consider that a must-have. It is also exposed to Rest API calls, and we can engage in real-time integrations with any third-party systems."
"The fuzzy matching capability is a great feature."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"The ability to clean out data and improve the data quality is the best feature."
"The tool manually checks on applying business rules and helps to implement them."
"It provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication and machine survivorship."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The data quality is very good."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"Informatica's issue is the licensing. Right now, there are a lot of new gen MDMs that are offering a lot in a single licensing model."
"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"Informatica MDM's UI is not intuitive enough."
"Needs to implement the new workflow with simple steps and a quick visualization with a 360 view of the data."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"I think they should work really hard on UI."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
