"The ease of use is valuable."
"The best thing about it is that it comes with the Microsoft package."
"Enables non-technical people to directly interact with the BI system."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"Technical support is very good."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
"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."
"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."
"The Microsoft license cost could be lower."
"It would be a better option to have an on-cloud version."
"The stability could be improved."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team."
