-It can be challenging to push priority SR's / Incidents.

-Irrespective of the detail added to the ticket , the first response is always - 'Please provide more information'

-Updates only via ticket even for urgent issues

-No regular updates on ticket so I'm unsure if the ticket is actively being worked on

-Lower priority tickets are often open for weeks but the client having to chase for updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stibo Systems MDM is flexible, and it allows you to configure your own data structures, validations and custom workflows. It’s also fairly easy to integrate with other systems, which helps synchronize data between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It starts as a blank canvas, so planning and configuring it to support your data and processes can take quite a bit of time upfront. In the initial phase, you’ll likely need external help and expertise to get everything set up properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Stibo Systems MDM is its strong integration capabilities and overall performance. The platform provides flexible integration options with various enterprise systems, making it easier to exchange and synchronize data across the IT landscape. Even when managing large volumes of product data, the solution remains stable and performs efficiently, supporting complex business processes without compromising reliability.

The main area for improvement is the user experience. Although the platform provides extensive functionality, the interface is not always intuitive and can require significant training for new users. A more modern and streamlined UX would enhance productivity and user adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most about Stibo Systems MDM is its flexibility and ability to manage complex master-data domains within one governed platform. It combines strong data modelling, workflows, matching and survivorship capabilities with powerful integration options. I also highly value the collaboration with Stibo Systems’ professional team and the platform’s configuration capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find less positive is that Stibo Systems can be complex to configure and operate and require specialist knowledge. Troubleshooting can also be time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Stibo Systems MDM for its simplified UI and easy-to-understand data model. The data model configuration is the simplest compared to other MDM platforms, making it incredibly user-friendly. The workflows are very robust and easy to use and configure as well. It's easy to use and configure overall, which is why we switched from a legacy system to Stibo MDM directly. The initial setup was very easy, adding to its appeal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The publication side of Stibo Systems MDM could definitely use some improvements. Right now, StepXML is the faster option, but across industries, it's become pretty standard to publish data in JSON format without any business rules. It would be great if they could speed up their AI adoption process, as some similar tools are moving faster in this area. They have innovations planned for future releases, but it feels like they could've been implemented by now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely flexible when it comes to the data model. All business objects can be mapped and related to each other. Better data - better decisions! Exports and imports are also pleasantly flexible. Almost everything can be done via SelfService, and the support is very constructive (and also excellently supported via AI SelfService!). Various options are available for the user interface, so complex data can be provided precisely for users. The new possibilities of directly connecting AI to STEP are super exciting and promising. Of course, it's expensive - but ultimately also an incentive to recoup costs through value-adding processes and data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, the possibilities are so diverse that it is difficult to fully grasp the potential alone or with just one's own team. This makes one dependent on either experienced employees (who are often tied up) or external partners (who incur additional costs and naturally want to sell hours). It would be nice if there were more support from Stibo Systems itself to unlock the full potential of the system and also to facilitate the onboarding of new functions (influencing innovations in companies where Stibo Systems MDM is used). The Key Accountants and Customer Success Managers are a great basis for this exchange and are both competent and committed - but naturally also limited in their possibilities. Customer empowerment and feature management are therefore areas for improvement. For internal marketing of the MDM solution, costs are also an element that can slow down innovations.

STEP handles multidomain MDM and PIM on a single platform, so product, supplier, and customer data share one model and governance framework. The flexible data modeling, workflow engine, and matching and survivorship capabilities let us adapt it to complex enterprise requirements without heavy custom code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is steep. Configuration and data model design take real expertise, and implementations need experienced architects to get right. The UI and admin tooling can feel dated compared to newer SaaS tools, and documentation for advanced scenarios could be more detailed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the high flexibility of the platform. Even complex product data models, classifications, validation rules, and approval processes can be mapped in detail in STEP. Particularly valuable for us are the workflow functions, the role-specific web UIs, and the diverse integration possibilities. This allows us to centrally manage product data from various sources, systematically ensure their quality, and consistently provide them for different business areas, markets, and output channels.

The great flexibility simultaneously brings with it a high level of complexity. For new users, the user interface is not always intuitive, and deep specialized knowledge is often required for configuration, error analysis, and further development. The documentation could be more consistent, up-to-date, and more focused on concrete practical examples. With large amounts of data and extensive mass changes, we also wish for more transparency about ongoing processes and more reliable performance. Even after version updates, a relatively high testing effort is sometimes necessary, as functions or integrations may behave differently than before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features and the ability to create according to needs are real assets. The technical documentation facilitates the autonomy of level 1 support, as well as the integration of new source flows, and even data transmission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On the UX side, I regret the lack of native packages for tracking integrations and for viewing error logs. There is also a lack of a visual representation solution, both macro and synthetic, of the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stibo has a very simple UI and workflow to get started with to implement your solutions, but it can also help you implement any complex solution you need. They also provide a lot of out of the box integrations and solutions that perform well and require minimal developer customization. They also provide good support in case of issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit pricey, but it's well warranted for the features and enhancements they provided. There might be cheaper options, but Stibo is the best. Also the AI integrations have not be implemented at the level one would expect till now, though they are making good progress there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
