Ataccama DQ Analyzer vs Melissa Data Quality comparison

"It is also easy to deploy."

"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."

"We like having the ability to write our own utilities/software to process our records and store the final output the way we want."

"We use their GeoPoints to get the most precise, rooftop level geocoding."

"Through more accurate data, our marketing department has been able to increase delivery and conversion rates through email direct marketing initiatives."

"We only use the one feature for the NAICS code. This allows our product users to know what industry a business is in."

"​Ability to keep our data set clean and usable for our community searches.​"

"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."

"There have been tangible benefits in combating fraudulent transactions. The information from Melissa Data is fed straight into our fraud system. This creates efficiency but also removes the need for manual address checks."

"We use a Melissa API to access the data, so it easy to use, accurate, and fast."

"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."

"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."

"It really hasn't given us a phone number for the owner of the property, and that's one thing I'd really like to be getting. Either a phone number or email."

"​If I had multiple Excel files open and ran Listware it would crash Excel, charge the credits, and not save the results."

"One of the problems that we ran into this year was we probably spent over 40 hours finding and trying to drill down to where specific bugs were in the program, which was a tremendous waste of time for us. There were a couple of updates to Windows this year, the program kept crashing. It happened on two different occasions over a period of a few months. Once we told them what the problem was - even though their tech support is great to work with - it literally took probably about two months to fix the issue where we could actually use the program the way we needed to use it."

"There are some hitches in setup, especially with the new encoding, but otherwise it’s relatively simple."

"Needs to validate more addresses accurately."

"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."

"The SSIS component setup seems a little klunky."

"We have noticed that some of the emails and addresses return with confusing or incorrect codes, but for the most part, it is accurate.​"

"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."

"I think it's worth the value for me to run it."

"The only complaint that I have towards it is they sell licenses based on a range of usage, and I feel those ranges are too large."

"Buy a lot more credits than you think you’re going to need."

"It's affordable."

"Trial subscriptions (via cloud) are very cheap and easy to use. It’s a great way to test Listware to see if you want to go deeper with integration."

"Depends on situation. We prefer to have data onsite, but some might prefer web access."

"Pricing is very reasonable."

"​You should have a good idea of the size of your data and the amount of cleansing you will be doing, so you will purchase the appropriate size bundle.​"
