We performed a comparison between Ataccama ONE Platform and Melissa Data Quality based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Quality solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."
"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."
"Enables us to send out bulk mailings when we need to verify NCOA."
"Helps our organization provide accurate address information to our customers for direct mailing (household) and other campaigns they want to do."
"Provides quality accurate data that our downstream solutions depend on."
"The high value in this tool is its relatively low cost, ease of use, tight integration with SSIS, superior performance (compared to competitors), and attribute-level advanced survivor-ship logic."
"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."
"Provides simplicity, ease of use, combined with overall accuracy of data."
"We ran a standard name, address, and zip code, internal dedupe between the different files we had purchased, and we were able to quickly notify our vendor that they had tens of thousands of duplications that they were not even aware of."
"We like having the ability to write our own utilities/software to process our records and store the final output the way we want."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."
"Data movement is a pain."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"Did not work as advertized. Needs better results in address parsing, as described on the website."
"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."
"It could always be cheaper."
"We are no longer using Melissa Data to clean up our address information as there are free tools that we can use to do the same thing."
"I wish there was a way to do a "test run" and see what a particular format will give you."
"Many issues, sometimes I have to completely log out and start over."
"We have noticed that some of the emails and addresses return with confusing or incorrect codes, but for the most part, it is accurate."
"To continually update the database with NAICS codes on businesses."
