Overall Satisfaction with SAP Master Data Governance

Because it is simple to connect and allows many teams to handle data from their application, my firm utilizes SAP (MDG) to store reference data from across the enterprise. SAP Master Data Governance tackles the problem of handling enormous amounts of data, enabling analysts to refine data and increase data quality, and gives a centralized place for master data access to the relevant individuals. SAP Master Data Governance delivers exceptional services and features that help businesses become more self-sufficient; it is an effective data asset management solution that serves as a one-stop shop for our company's data governance and stewardship needs. By making hierarchy management and workflows more flexible, it also helped us standardize our data and adjust our processes to better serve our consumers.
  • 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.
  • We've had to design our own unique or alternative solutions to satisfy our business objectives because plugins don't always perform well with the main product.
  • It can be sluggish at times and lacks functionality offered by rival MDM packages, as well as limited resources and documentation for certain areas such as hierarchy.
  • We can make smarter decisions, enabling advanced scenarios like as AI/ML for predictive maintenance of instances, and data standardization decreases application build time, reporting, and connectors.
  • The quality of the data has been increased, and the consistency of custom functionality has been assured.
One of the main reasons is that it is much more efficient and easier to integrate with other SAP Apps.
We haven't really had the need to interact many times with the support team, but when we have, the response has been very satisfactory.
Without Fiori, it comes with outdated UI technology. SAP Master Data Governance is fully usable not only for master data governance, but also for other bulk data upload/validation needs.
They are very helpful because they save a lot of time and effort.
We have completed an integration with a multi-instance S4hana solution, as well as additional interfaces with SAP ECC systems.

Did implementation of SAP Master Data Governance go as expected?

Would you buy SAP Master Data Governance again?

Yes

It is best suited for big installations since it may be used as a hub, and it is also appropriate for SAP-provided data domains such as Finance. It is particularly suited for SAP-specific master data items, but not for non-SAP-specific master data components.
