We performed a comparison between Microsoft MDS and TIBCO EBX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Master Data Management (MDM) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of use is valuable."
"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."
"Unlike specialized tools, MDS is adaptable for various industries, making it a versatile choice for master data management."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The solution is easy to install."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"From my understanding, MS, as of 2021, will not maintain the product going forward."
"In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"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."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
