ObservePoint vs. SAP Master Data Governance

I use rules feature to Test tags, variables, and values to confirm each matches a specific RegEx patterns. It has been well suited for me. Combining filters and conditions to test our tags with a high level of detail. they can surely work more on - Fire based on URL, status code, or tag type by using filters.

When configuring and testing new plant and warehouse for our client in automotive industry we had to test warehouse business processes, for that we needed Mater data and transactional data. And We levied SAP Master Data Governance to import all the master data including Materials, Customer, vendor, work center, Bill of Material among other datas. Our inhouse SAP Master Data Governance team, tested the data accuracy, ran simulation before finally loading the data into SAP. There were many failed master data which could not be loaded because of missing prequisites like Plants, storage locations. We corrected them in SAP Master Data Governance system by configuring plants, slocs and adding them to the material.

• UI for simulations is really terrible. Very hard to set up simulations due to lack of things like xpath to target page elements as well as see what the simulation sees when there are problems.
• Finding and fixing tag validation errors in simulations again is just a nightmare. Promised updates to the UI to fix this problem have been promised for months but still no improvements.
• Due to the lack of updates to correct issues and bugs we just haven't gotten nearly the value from the product we expected.

• The learning curve is steep, and I think the build procedures might be challenging at first because we are transitioning from a non-systematic data management perspective.
• My team and I believe that its integration into learning new capabilities is complicated and limiting in terms of customizing reports.

I've only experienced one system availability issue in the 3 years we've been using it.

Sometimes it can get a bit slow when auditing particularly huge sites but recent upgrades in infrastructure have done a lot to mitigate this behavior.

Support is very strong indeed and has been consistent over the last 4 years. They are also friendly and tag nerds like me!

SAP provides great support for Master Data Governance (MDG). They work with us when we are faced with issues in standard solutions. SAP has a great set of Fiori tools that can be used for a better user experience. The issue with SAP is their web dynpro UI screens and they need to provide better support for performance issues that customers face.

I have not reached an unreasonable product limitation as of yet.

• ObservePoint has helped us quickly (within minutes) catch when a process or pathing on the website breaks, which allows us to fix it quickly. Whether technical/dev or analytics issues, without ObservePoint, they could have been undetected for weeks.
