"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."

"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The data quality is very good."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"The tool should provide a unified user interface to manage the data objects."
"The integration could be a bit better. The process is something new."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"From multiple masters that are there in Informatica MDM, we can improve the financials."
"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."
"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."
"In general, I want artificial intelligence added to SAP Master Data Governance since I feel it is one of the areas where the solution has certain shortcomings."
"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The user experience can be improved."
"The user interface is not user-friendly."
"They should improve the solution's performance as sometimes the process consumes much time."
"Overall, they just a little bit more flexibility in terms of assigning roles or adding new roles. We have a longer approval process, so we need to break it down into more roles than what is typically available and we need to hard-code it."
"There were challenges with handling multiple values within a single input field at the screen level."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
