We performed a comparison between Microsoft MDS and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, TIBCO and others in Master Data Management (MDM) Software."It has a very good feature called Excel plug-in. You just have to install the plug-in, and then it directly connects to the MDS instance where you can maintain and manage your data and publish it right through Excel. You don't need to go to the front end to make any changes. It has easy integration with SQL Server, and you can use SSIS to do the ETLs. It is a part of the Microsoft stack. It works with most of the Microsoft stuff."
"Technical support is very good."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The backup and restore functionality are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"The only drawback is that it does not have the matching, merging, and all true MDM components. For these, you have to use another competent called Data Quality Services (DQS). You need to plug it in and use it along with MDS for true MDM. Both of these are integrated together, but you have to do them separately, whereas, in Profisee, there are a couple of screens where you can configure the matching process, create matching rules, and other things, and everything is in one product, which is not the case with MDS. In order to implement a true MDM, you need MDS, DQS, and SSIS. You have to use MDS to store your golden records, DQS to configure and standardize all your rules and matching percentages, and SSIS to load the data to DQS and MDS. At the same time, you also need Melissa Data to clean up your addresses to validate and standardize the addresses. That's the main component of true MDM. It would be good if they can create a true matching component inside MDS and merge MDS and DQS."
"More generic related things can be included in the services."
"The stability could be improved."
"It would be a better option to have an on-cloud version."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"I do not like using Silverlight and Internet Explorer. The new 2019 version gets rid of that, which is one of the reasons why we are looking to switch."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
