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.

Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes

One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Provides master data management and has a good UI and support

I was working with Reltio Cloud on a project for a car retail company. This company needed to create a master data repository, a "golden copy," that would consolidate all customer and vehicle information from their various sources. The company had a front-end application in its stores where customers could provide their details and a web page where customers could schedule test drives. All these customer details were captured through different applications and fed into Reltio via real-time and batch processes. My role involved verifying that the ETL processes were working correctly and that the data was being loaded into Reltio properly. I ensured that the MDM was accurate by checking the match and merge rules and that the golden copy of the customer data was correctly created based on these rules. To perform these validations, I used the Reltio UI to log in, sample the golden copies of customer profiles, and confirm that the profiles included all relevant source details and attribute values. I also checked that the attribute values adhered to the survivorship rules established in Reltio.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support services are good."

"I definitely would recommend the Informatica solution to other people."

"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."

"The solution's scalability is high."

"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."

"I like the number of options that are presented with Informatica, fuzzy matching, and your screen."

"Informatica MDM stands out as a tool that can give you the flexibility needed for doing channel-specific data quality or business validation."

"Informatica MDM has a defined data model we can customize with user and developer options."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

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

"The survivorship feature is great because we can define it, prioritize the sources, and only allow those sources to survive when making the golden record."

"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 of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."

"It is very easy to learn. The"

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

"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."

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

More Reltio Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."

"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."

"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."

"Pre-sales technical support is much better than post-sales technical support."

"One area that could use improvement is the speed of the web interfaces. At present, they are very slow. I think it is essential that we are original and robust on-premises."

"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."

"I think they should work really hard on UI."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) cons

"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."

"The download process can be quite slow"

"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."

"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."

"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."

"Initially, the UI was limited in features."

"The deployment is difficult."

More Reltio Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Informatica MDM's pricetag should come down. They have to cut some costs."

"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."

"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."

"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."

"It is an expensive solution. I would say it is the most expensive solution in the market."

"The price is comparable."

"The licensing price of the product depends on the organization's requirements."

"Its pricing model can be improved."
