We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms.""It is also easy to deploy."

More Ataccama DQ Analyzer Pros →

"This tool works better for us than using a batch processing system that we do not have enough control over as each record is being processed.""​It has a straightforward, easy setup.""Enables us to send out bulk mailings when we need to verify NCOA.""Provides simplicity, ease of use, combined with overall accuracy of data.""SSIS integration.""Provides quality accurate data that our downstream solutions depend on.""It saves a huge amount of time. Before using this service, we used a vendor that manually ran our lists through this NCOA list, which might have taken one to three business days to return the file. This was a huge bottleneck in our process, and the data returned was not always accurate. After switching to Melissa Data’s SmartMover, the process has been reduced to between ten minutes and three hours, depending on the amount of records sent.""We have only been using this for about two months, but it has sped up our processing significantly. It makes data mining easy and fast. We don't have to spend an entire month gathering correct information on leads. All we need is a list of home addresses, and in minutes we have names and phone numbers to increase our chance of these leads becoming customers."

Cons
"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working.""Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."

More Ataccama DQ Analyzer Cons →

"The custom software solution we still use in-house makes Excel a lot slower than usual.""I wish there was a way to do a "test run" and see what a particular format will give you.""The tool needs to provide resizable forms/windows like all other SSIS windows. Vendor claims its an SSIS limitation however all SSIS components are resizable so that isn't true. This is just an annoyance but needless.""​If I had multiple Excel files open and ran Listware it would crash Excel, charge the credits, and not save the results.""Needs more/better search tools are needed. Also, state and local tax data would be nice.""Speed of delivery/ease of use. They advertise a 24-hour, next business day turn time on data annotation, but I’ve found it is usually closer to 72 hours. This is still excellent, just make sure you add in the appropriate fluff to your delivery timelines.""Needs better email append coverage (but every vendor struggles with this).""We have noticed that some of the emails and addresses return with confusing or incorrect codes, but for the most part, it is accurate.​"

  • "It's affordable."
  • "The price for address validation is similar in all software. However, the price for geocoding decides the actual pricing. If you get their most accurate geocoding (called GeoPoints), then it will add about $10k+ per million requests."
  • "They were willing to work with our preferred vendors, though it involved extra steps to get the license."
  • "Depends on situation. We prefer to have data onsite, but some might prefer web access."
  • "Melissa pricing is competitive."
  • "Pricing is very reasonable."
  • "I think it's worth the value for me to run it."
  • "Generally, the cost is ROI positive, depending on your shipping volume."
