Well suited for quick setup and ease of use. Synidgo does not have the ability to maintain cross-references such as family items, accessories, replacement parts, and collections. Implementing and maintaining custom taxonomies is challenging and time-consuming, I prefer using an in-house PIM. Syndigo does have the ability to identify discrepancies that do not meet standards.

• I like being able to create our own tables that aren't specified by the application; arranging data utilizing data spaces is a dream come true.
• Using semantic data space instances with workflows improves performance significantly; firms with several domains may use the same application with numerous data spaces for master data management.
• SAP (MDG) remains unique in the flexibility to model and manage master data the way it is used in the company, with all capabilities easily available through an intuitive user interface, and is not bound by the vendor's mandated data models.

• 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.

• Digital shelf analytics can provide more detail.
• No cross reference record.
• Unexplained errors causing syndication issues.

MDG has proven to work and to bring results once implemented with the right approach, right engagement and sponsorship. Given that it is a very good tool to govern and control master data. Mainly if your company runs SAP systems which there will be a very straight forward integration, not needing any additional middleware or technologies.

I haven't been using the support services individually. Instead, there are responsible units within the institution who train and support the users of the software in the institution. The service provided by these units are quite adequate and they probably get the service from SAP itself. That's why, I can assume that the support services are quite successful.

Similar offering to Salsify. I think Salsify has better digital shelf analytics. I think both do a good job rating overall content health at the SKU level. I think Syndigo has a more integrated API into various retailers and distributors. Both are quick and easy to set up and use. Syndigo does not have cross-reference ability.
