Offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks
We had many duplicates originating from different source systems. We were able to match and deduplicate a significant amount of data. Additionally, we could synchronize and write back the latest information to the systems that were out of sync, ensuring they had the most recent data. As a result, we could write back and update the source systems.
Satyam Saxena - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation in data management improves with built-in error rejection but technical support needs enhancement
Multiple areas in Microsoft Data Quality Services could be improved, such as its ability to perform changes automatically, as it currently identifies but does not correct data issues. Regular expression processing is complicated and slow. Technical support from Microsoft is poor, as they do not provide adequate assistance with issues encountered in integration or forming automation. Sometimes solutions to problems take several weeks due to a lack of support, relying instead on personal networks and experience.

Cons

"Their data governance portal can be improved. It lacks data governance-related features. Also, PII and anomaly detection could be valuable use cases for ibi. Adding these features would be a great enhancement."
"Technical support from Microsoft is poor, as they do not provide adequate assistance with issues encountered in integration or forming automation."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with one being very easy and ten being extremely challenging. So, there is room for improvement in the setup process."
