Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Profisee's customer service is very responsive, and they have a comprehensive training academy, Profisee Academy, that helps guide the implementation process."
"The process of categorizing data, creating glossaries, and generating metadata is streamlined and less time-consuming."
"The most valuable features for ensuring data accuracy and quality are mappings and creating business rules."
"We really like the matching and merging features."
"The product is able to utilize the SQL server toolkit and it has tight integration with the SQL server."
"SAP is a closed tool. Integrating with it requires a lot of effort and money. It is also very expensive and not flexible."
"We've found the solution to be quite flexible."
"The ability to identify and manage duplicate data is valuable. The solution automatically checks for duplication possibilities based on criteria like name matching."
"SAP MDG has extensive data models and good integration with upstream and downstream systems."
"SAP MDG has built-in integration capabilities with multiple systems/streams. We can also create custom interfaces if needed."
"A good solution for large enterprises."
"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."
"Useful for building master data."
 

Cons

"When we updated to version 7.1, there were some workflow issues."
"A more convenient approach would involve integrating all the pre-existing elements into Profisee itself."
"Some security complexities might add time to the setup."
"The way training is laid out in their Profisee University, makes it really, really hard to find what you need fast."
"Profisee could improve in providing clearer data lineage information."
"The implementation could be easier."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"RiverFront is a more modern and cost-effective solution compared to MDG. It is flexible and designed to handle big data, which MDG does not support well."
"SAP could do better in attracting talent and simplifying technology adoption."
"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."
"It does not ensure data matches after system upgrades."
"The solution lacks some flexibility."
"The profiling feature, especially for materials, needs improvement. We faced challenges maintaining specific details for a single material from multiple vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't come across any additional licensing fees."
"The pricing is moderate, falling in the middle range—not excessively low nor overly expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"SAP Master Data Governance is a licensed product. While there might be no upfront cost for the MDG component itself, you still need to pay for user authorizations."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"The solution is costly."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The product is too expensive."
"The cloud solution is subscription-based, it is paid monthly or quarterly. If the solution is on-premises, it is a one-time fee. As far as I am aware there are no additional costs."
"SAP Master Data Governance is an expensive solution."
