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

• Debugging is not very easy. When one wants to see the flow of data from one Query to another, the process is not very smooth and efficient.
• A lot of functions do not behave the way they should. I have faced problems with the count() function.
• I have faced problems while loading Excel files. The same set of options will work in one case but not in the other.

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.
