• As with all powerful and complex information platforms, SAP MDG does have a learning curve to it, especially if you plan on doing advanced things such as implementing MDM automation.
• SAP MDG is capable of replicating data across many platforms (including non-SAP) however, this too, has a learning curve to it and will require some work. Bottom line...it doesn't just happen out of the box!
• SAP MDG's flexibility can also be a weakness as sometimes you just want to implement a standard governance flow without defining everything from scratch. We have found that usually, you will need to define each workflow yourself in order for it to work properly.

• Leveraged this tool during conversion for data profiling. It was helpful to identify erroneous records before performing load in the data system.
• We have an MDG system. It would be helpful to have a real-time integration between SAP IS and SAP MDG to trigger MDG change requests.
• We use it more to manage the data quality aspects of the organisation. Very friendly with business users and can address a business case based on user needs.

• It is said that 'if you can do it today the don't leave till the day after. SAP MDG can attest to this best as it has made our business act on important decisions on time, leading to high returns for us yearly.
• The ease with which SAP MDG centralizes data. This has informed our different businesses with timely reactions to sharp changes that otherwise would result in losses.
