"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"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."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"Microsoft MDS' language should be simple so everyone can use it easily."
"There are occasions when the solution maintains SD and we get duplications of MDS."
"In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure."
"Stability can be fragile at times. If you are not attentive or make a mistake, it can cause problems."
"From my understanding, MS, as of 2021, will not maintain the product going forward."
"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."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
