miniMDM vs Prospecta MDO

miniMDM is a self-hosted application for managing business records such as customers, products, locations, and custom data objects. It is intended for teams whose reference data has outgrown spreadsheets but does not call for a multi-year enterprise MDM rollout. Teams define objects in YAML or JSON, including fields, types, references, and required flags. Records can progress through draft, active, and retired states; each edit creates a version that users can review or restore. Viewer, Editor, Publisher, and Admin roles have per-schema grants. A REST API comes with an OpenAPI specification, and webhook callbacks report lifecycle changes. An inbound receiver accepts upstream records as drafts for review. Bulk import and export support CSV, TSV, and JSON, with template-assisted imports and optional upsert-by-key. The MIT-licensed project is described as free to use, with no per-seat licensing or separately purchased modules; its plan is free. It runs on premises, uses PostgreSQL, and is built with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy. The site describes zero telemetry and says password changes end the account’s open sessions.

Prospecta MDO is a cloud-deployed, web-based master data governance solution for coordinating records across business domains. It covers customers, products and SKUs, suppliers, locations, assets, equipment, plants, finance, and reference data, with deduplication and data syndication. Governance features include configurable workflows, business rules, policy-driven approvals, AI-assisted stewardship, and enterprise controls. Teams can process thousands of records in controlled bulk operations and configure low-code experiences for different roles. Dashboards and reports show governance performance, SLAs, and operational activity. Its ERP-agnostic architecture and REST API-first connectivity link disparate systems; SAP connections run through SAP BTP Cloud Integration, and Coupa uses certified APIs. The browser experience supports current Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on Windows 10 64-bit or macOS 11 Big Sur and later. Mobile access is browser-based and read-only for task visibility, with no mobile app. A trial is available. Starter Edition is $24,000, paid once, with a minimum one-year contract; higher editions require contacting sales.
