SAS Practice Lead at Larsen & Toubro Infotech Ltd.

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.

A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources

We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The data quality is very good."

"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."

"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"TIBCO EBX saves a lot of time and gives considerable flexibility to business users who might not be completely technical but can work on it in specific areas."

"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."

"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."

"The API and the data model are very valuable features."

"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."

More TIBCO EBX pros

Cons

"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."

"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."

"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."

"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."

"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."

"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."

"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."

"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."

"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."

"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."

"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
