It is now a recommendation to consider cloud-centric or hybrid features. Respondents identified product capabilities and performance as the two primary concerns when evaluating solution providers, though product roadmap, future vision and cost were also factors. Buyers are also less likely to stick with a provider they&#8217;ve worked with in the past. This finding, according to Gartner &#8220;should warn vendors against complacency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Informatica and Riversand top the charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Informatica scored the highest in each of the 6 MDM use cases for 2020, while Riversand earned the second-highest point total in all but product or service for the B2C customer data use case. Informatica offers several MDM tools inside Informatica MDM. Its lowest score was for workflow\/BPM which was still above average. In contrast, Riversand scored best for workflow\/BPM and joint highest for multiple domain and multi domain, data modeling and hierarchy management. Riversand also scored above average for multiple implementation styles and product suite internal integration.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>There is (<em>still)<\/em> no one-size-fits-all product<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Gartner recommends that organizations use a &#8220;best fit&#8221; approach to evaluating master data management software, especially since there is no single provider that offers a fully standalone tool that can satisfy each use case.\u00a0It may seem like common sense, but data management leaders should first zone in on their most important use cases during the vendor selection process. As Gartner puts it: &#8220;Successful MDM implementations start with a single domain and use case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/documents\/3980290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Read the 2020 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Master Data Management Solutions to see how all the top providers scored.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"speedbump\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/data-management\/data-management-vendor-map-a-guide-to-the-best-data-management-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/data-management\/files\/2019\/01\/data-management-vendor-map-sb-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Data Management Vendor Map\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analyst house Gartner, Inc. recently released its 2020 Critical Capabilities for Master Data Management Solutions.\u00a0Used in conjunction with the Magic Quadrant, Critical Capabilities is an additional resource which can assist buyers of data and analytics solutions in finding the products that fit best in their organizations.
