Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, TIBCO and others in Master Data Management (MDM) Software."It's very easy to use."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"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."
"The backup and restore functionality are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"Among the valuable features are managing configurations of all devices and being able to remote into devices... We send out configurations for each site that has its devices. Each site has a different configuration, and SOTI manages each configuration for each site"
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"The licensing is simple."
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"Because we have a custom, business-to-business applications, the solution's deployment features give us the ability to control the deployment of new versions. We can granularly decide which people or which phone receive updates. It's kind of like having your own "app store" and being able to control what you deploy on the phones... You can see how the deployment is happening; if it's going well or not."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."
"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."
"Most of the Microsoft partners, especially digitally, are separate. Personnel are business people, and they do not have technical expertise, so you end up as a company spending a lot of money training your staff and your engineers."
"The stability could be improved."
"JMD repositories have records that come in thousands and millions, which takes a long time to process."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"More generic related things can be included in the services."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"You need to get used to the admin console. I think it could be improved. It's not the best I've seen. Certainly, the software has a lot of features so you necessarily have some complexity in the interface, but I've seen better. They could make it easier in certain aspects."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"For the most part, the application deployment works well. Occasionally, when moving a gun, we'll see that we have to manually intervene, when working with the setup."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"If the interface was a little bit more intuitive, more easily allowed me to get to where I want to be, that would be a little bit nicer, as far as the file sync goes."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
