Offers features that pinpoints locations with maps and provides reporting about data performance and completeness
Until I work with a customer, I won't be able to recognize the performance regarding the integration of records, especially when records are coming in as a full load or a delta after an initial load. I have to check how it performs in the integration part when pushing the entire data into MDM. Most tools have a downside in this area. So far, I have not faced any other problems regarding Reltio. I just did a certification and the provided hands-on exercises. I didn't find anything concerning, but I would definitely want to use the AI features introduced in Reltio more. The Hands-on Lab in the certification allows you to try out certain AI features.

Integrates with other third-party solutions, but Bill of materials (BOM) creation needs to be enhanced
We are trying to get the cloud solution of SAP Master Data Governance for multiple clients, which requires more improvement. Bill of materials (BOM) creation in manufacturing needs to be enhanced in SAP Master Data Governance. Clients have also suggested improvements in managing a hierarchy and ensuring that you maintain and work on the hierarchy side.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud feature is very beneficial, and the scalability performance feature is excellent."
"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"It is a scalable product, and the scalability is good. We can configure users."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"SAP MDG has built-in integration capabilities with multiple systems/streams. We can also create custom interfaces if needed."
"Some of the features that I have found to be beneficial are the search and uploads functions."
"Validates all aspects from security to authorization and authentication."
"User-friendly and provides customized reports and personalized data."
"The product is easy to use and is beneficial from a data governance perspective."
"We've managed tens of thousands of updates within 30 to 60 minutes, and we can also replicate these changes to all connected systems."
"I am satisfied with the solution's customer service."
"I like how the solution integrates with other SAP tools and third-party solutions."
 

Cons

"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"The support team is slow to respond when we need assistance with workflow deployments. We must rely on their availability and contact them to receive the required JAR files."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"Lacks some features that are available in other solutions."
"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."
"The documentation provided for the MDG extensions by Utopia could be improved."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The multidomain MDM feature is based on EIP systems, which may not be a good model for all master data."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The cost of the product is not ideal."
"The product is too expensive."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The solution is costly."
"We have an enterprise license. The whole SAP landscape pricing model is based on the number of users, and the number of transactions. The price could be better, there is always room for improvement in the price."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
