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."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."
"Standardizing allows me to more effectively check for duplicate/existing records. Verifying increases the value of the 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."
"I was able to dedupe millions of records in the past, and append the most recent email."
"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."
"We mainly communicate with our customers via email, so we primarily use it to find a phone number so we can contact them more efficiently. This allows us to talk to them and resolve their issues much more quickly."
"Provides simplicity, ease of use, combined with overall accuracy of data."
"Services for all manner of data-driven organizations, no matter their size or budget."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"We have noticed that some of the emails and addresses return with confusing or incorrect codes, but for the most part, it is accurate."
"Address validation and parsing in a few countries have room for improvement."
"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."
"We encounter failed batch processes once in a while, but their team is quick to rectify issues."
"More countries should be supported by Melissa."
"Did not work as advertized. Needs better results in address parsing, as described on the website."
"There are some hitches in setup, especially with the new encoding, but otherwise it’s relatively simple."
"The billing structure does not seem very accurate. We’ve had issues with miscounted batch records processed"
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
