Samudra Som - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides master data management and has a good UI and support
I was working with Reltio Cloud on a project for a car retail company. This company needed to create a master data repository, a "golden copy," that would consolidate all customer and vehicle information from their various sources. The company had a front-end application in its stores where customers could provide their details and a web page where customers could schedule test drives. All these customer details were captured through different applications and fed into Reltio via real-time and batch processes. My role involved verifying that the ETL processes were working correctly and that the data was being loaded into Reltio properly. I ensured that the MDM was accurate by checking the match and merge rules and that the golden copy of the customer data was correctly created based on these rules. To perform these validations, I used the Reltio UI to log in, sample the golden copies of customer profiles, and confirm that the profiles included all relevant source details and attribute values. I also checked that the attribute values adhered to the survivorship rules established in Reltio.

Quick MVP development facilitated by low-code data management
Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product. Its low-code approach, essentially a wrapper for SQL, enables easy and quick development. The core features include validation business rules, deduplication, merging, and consolidation from multiple sources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"The survivorship feature is great because we can define it, prioritize the sources, and only allow those sources to survive when making the golden record."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"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."
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"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 matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
"Their documentation is excellent."
"The flexibility of Semarchy xDM allows for possible deployment on-premises, in the cloud, or both."
"Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product."
 

Cons

"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"The deployment is difficult."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"Initially, the UI was limited in features."
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"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 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."
"There is room for improvement in the developer experience, particularly for those who are SQL proficient, as having more direct access would be beneficial."
"They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality."
"There is room for improvement in terms of local support."
