Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, SAP, Talend and others in Data Quality."We use a Melissa API to access the data, so it easy to use, accurate, and fast."
"Allows us to delete and correct incorrect data to make the searching of our applicant tracking system more consistent and relevant."
"The customers' addresses are now complete, correct and follow one consistent format."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"SSIS integration."
"We are able to more accurately identify valid, and better formatted, data which improves the data we store in our database."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"The technical support is excellent."
"If I had multiple Excel files open and ran Listware it would crash Excel, charge the credits, and not save the results."
"It will mix up family members at times, so we will change addresses at times that shouldn’t be changed."
"Needs to provide more phone numbers, even cell numbers (scrubbed numbers)."
"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."
"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."
"There are some hitches in setup, especially with the new encoding, but otherwise it’s relatively simple."
"I wish there was a way to do a "test run" and see what a particular format will give you."
"Pricing model."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
