SAP NetWeaver MDM is based upon technology from the A2i
acquisition in 2004. This is a comprehensive master data management suite and competes with IBM InfoSphere, Oracle Siebel UCM, Informatica, and Tibco.
The data model is really flexible, so it should function well across many industries. Reltio Connected Data Platform tends to add new features first to its industrial vertical customers, though, so it may be especially well suited if your use case is specifically supported.
Fairly easy to set up and get started even in large enterprises with the help of the configuration tools that come with the product. Also, the workflow engine can be defined with relative ease and monitored. Perhaps this product works very well in an SAP environment as it can be integrated with other SAP products
Reltio API allows us to build interfaces with ease.
The beauty of Reltio is Consolidation at any time we can review data at field level from different sources (crosswalk) and configure match merge and survivorship rules to define operational value and approved data can be redistributed to the upstream or downstream systems.
With Central data governance, enrichment with D&B allows creating trusted data and distribute to various systems.
UI does not support creating different profile views for an entity based upon customer types as example however we can achieve this by using sub entities ( sub classes). This feature is useful if we are creating profiles in reltio manually.
Manual export every time we need to pick entities, fields etc does not allow to save templates. workaround is using postman creating predefined API with selected fields, filters and trigger export.
UI does not support data masking which needed while we maintain PII information
Potential Matches doesnt auto sort on confidence code so users need to manually select deselect relevant entities which is time consuming and painful process however this issue is when we have more than 4 entities as potential matches.
It would be beneficial if UI displays data related errors (if any) between Reltio and SFDC.
HANA is used for consolidation and there is adequate room for improvement in the consolidation function
Business users can also contribute to improving the business workflows if there were a simple wizard set up for this purpose - at present, contributions are made through IT ticketing system
We felt Reltio had the best user experience, with flexible graph database technology and a customizable UI. Also important was the ability to look at historical snapshots to see relationships as they existed as of a previous date.
IBM Infosphere was considered but was much more expensive and also perhaps would have taken more time for initial setup. SAP MDM was selected because we found it easier to work with other SAP products and its ability to integrate well within the overall larger SAP environment and was also easier to configure.
