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.
  • Golder records of master data
  • Workflow based requests approval
  • Standard SAP specific master data model
  • Standard integration with downstream SAP ECC system
  • 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
Data model efforts will be significantly reduced, but one has to spent lot of time in field specific validations which is not standard offering also data upload is SAP MDG is very cumbersome activity even if downstream system is SAP
Material, Service, Customer, Supplier, Financial Accounting, Financial Controlling and custom module were used. No component is reusable, it is a myth that components can be reused
We have integrated SAP with SAP ECC systems only
