Overall Satisfaction with SAP Master Data Governance

We are using SAP MDG for master data governance of all group companies. Along with SAP MDG we are using SAP IS for data quality monitoring.

Pros

  • Golder records of master data
  • Workflow based requests approval
  • Standard SAP specific master data model
  • Standard integration with downstream SAP ECC system

Cons

  • SAP MDG do not provide any dash board for master data
  • Available process analysis dash board is incomplete
  • Some of the NWBC UI modification is difficult and do not support customization
  • Availability of SAP MDG functional consultant is major issue
  • Improved compliance and data accuracy
  • Improved data quality
  • Lot of issue in ensuring consistency of customized functionality
  • In upgrade no one has idea about changes in functionality
Considering our current SAP landscape we have decided to go for SAP MDG
Not much support from SAP team for customized business requirement
SAP MDG can be used only for master data governance, and for any other requirement of mass data upload / validation one will need to use MDG Consolidation

    With the newer version of SAP Master Data Governance on SAP S/4HANA data quality monitoring has been included in SAP MDG, this means you do not have to switch between multiple solutions. Also, process analytics has been modernized and improved! Also, you are correct to use the MDG consolidation and mass processing framework for all processes addressing higher volumes of master data. Please contact your SAP Account Executive for a demo of the S/4HANA version and capabilities.
