We performed a comparison between Microsoft MDS and Talend Open Studio for MDM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Master Data Management (MDM) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"It's very easy to use."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"The solution is easy to install."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The stability could be improved."
"Most of the Microsoft partners, especially digitally, are separate. Personnel are business people, and they do not have technical expertise, so you end up as a company spending a lot of money training your staff and your engineers."
"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."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"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."
"It would be a better option to have an on-cloud version."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"From my understanding, MS, as of 2021, will not maintain the product going forward."
"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."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
