We performed a comparison between Microsoft MDS, SAP Hybris PCM, and Talend Open Studio for MDM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, TIBCO and others in Master Data Management (MDM) Software."What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"Technical support is very good."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"The only drawback is that it does not have the matching, merging, and all true MDM components. For these, you have to use another competent called Data Quality Services (DQS). You need to plug it in and use it along with MDS for true MDM. Both of these are integrated together, but you have to do them separately, whereas, in Profisee, there are a couple of screens where you can configure the matching process, create matching rules, and other things, and everything is in one product, which is not the case with MDS. In order to implement a true MDM, you need MDS, DQS, and SSIS. You have to use MDS to store your golden records, DQS to configure and standardize all your rules and matching percentages, and SSIS to load the data to DQS and MDS. At the same time, you also need Melissa Data to clean up your addresses to validate and standardize the addresses. That's the main component of true MDM. It would be good if they can create a true matching component inside MDS and merge MDS and DQS."
"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' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work with. They could streamline it with new technology."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
