I would like to know if a 3rd party professional Taxonomy replacement exists for the default SharePoint 2010 Microsoft implementation?

I don't know if there are any out there (yet). Why do you ask? – Wictor Wilen MCA MCM MVP Apr 14 '11 at 11:22
@Wictor, the standard Taxonomy implementation has some serious short comings. I'm looking for a quick swop out and replace solution. – JL01 Apr 14 '11 at 11:59
We're using it successfully on our site for both profiles and some custom applications for content. What do you see as short comings? If its something we have not hit yet it would be nice to know. – MichaelF Apr 14 '11 at 12:11
@MichaelF, add a metadata filter to a list, and see if you can filter results accurately. This is one huge shortfall of the current Taxonomy implementation. Check out some of my other questions as well as time goes by. We're calling in MS for a whole lot of gold support with Taxonomy. – JL01 May 4 '11 at 8:35
I was hoping to find more 3rd parties information here. Please admin, look at the question and let the man speak! SharePoint doesn't have a well working taxonomy solution which is also one of the reasons they don't call it that, they call it Managed Meta Data. – user6425 Jan 16 '12 at 14:17

Take a look at MatchPoint for SharePoint.

It comes with it's own metadata management, but also supports the ootb taxomomy stuff.

Just a warning that spam is not welcome here. It's OK to advertise your product where it answers a question, but you must disclose that you work for the company in the post, and participate elsewhere in the site without advertising. – Alex Angas Apr 14 '11 at 22:54
I don't want to spam here. But the questioner is explicitly asking for a 3rd party solution. And I do participate, if you check my profile on stackoverflow.com. – Matthias Apr 15 '11 at 7:57
That is a different site on this network and also has similar spam requirements. The rules are clear and documented in more detail here. Please update your posts accordingly. Thank you. – Alex Angas Apr 18 '11 at 6:38
Really looks like a well polished solution. Thanks for sharing. – JL01 May 4 '11 at 8:39

WAND, Inc is one company that provides taxonomies, tags, etc. They provide prebuilt taxonomies (various industries) and other tools for content management - DataFacet product. CAVEAT: I do not work for the above company but have examined one of their products and found it satisfactory.
