SAS Practice Lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
When a client wants an analytics tool plus BI, that is when we look to this solution
Having used SAS in the past, in the role that I play, I always push for SAS and all the analytics. But without having done a full comparison with other tools, I do not feel I'm in a position to say that there are capabilities available with SAS that are not in the other tools. But from a practical perspective, I would definitely recommend this solution. I rate it at eight out of 10 because I still want to explore it a bit more. I have only used it for three clients, and not as a full-blown MDM asset. If you are running a complex use case, I may or may not be in a position to justify the use of this product at this point in time. I would be 80 percent comfortable doing so and that's why I'm giving it a score of eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a product that integrates out of the box with Oracle EBS and Hyperion the product has proved to be a great step forward in allowing us to manage reference data across multiple platforms and something that we were able to deploy quite easily."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."
"Implementing the workflow portion of DRM which is called Data Relationship Governance (DRG) the client cut that time down to an hour."
"DRM customer service is top notch since it is a small set of people that use it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."
"With this application, if data was entered manually with a system whose data we migrated onto the DRM system, we can automate 90% of that manual entry."
"One good feature is that SAS MDM comes bundled with the entire stack so we are in a position to place it with the client."
"One good feature is that SAS MDM comes bundled with the entire stack so we are in a position to place it with the client. So when a client wants an analytics tool plus BI, and they want to bring in other elements, that is when we look to MDM, because it is a single vendor."
 

Cons

"The ROI will be a few years. DRM/DRG is really expensive."
"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."
"Integrating with non-Oracle products needs improvement, it only provides a text output file."
"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
"If you hard-code values into the properties, you'll get customer complaints that DRM is "running slow."
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
"Only having SAS and MDM is not the right choice of tools because the likes of Informatica and Talend have better capabilities as far as I've seen."
"The initial setup was slightly complex. We did face a couple of issues such as the SAML integration not being very smooth. And linking communication with the metadata server was a bit of a challenge. Eventually, we were able to configure it properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is very, very high."
