Melissa Data Quality vs SQL Power Data Quality comparison

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

"Provides simplicity, ease of use, combined with overall accuracy of data."

"It gives me an assessed value of the property in question. My partner and I are property investors, and it's good to get an assessed value to cull out properties that we're not interested in."

"​It has a straightforward, easy setup."

"We are able to send out client mailings with the most accurate addresses possible."

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

"Gives us the ability to offer an additional resource that other companies do not."

"​Allows us to identify cell phones before dialing, and giving us data about callers."

"It is a scalable solution. We have over 1,000 SQL Power Data Quality users in our organization."

"The solution is able to integrate with many systems and other products."

"The Nomo, select form, and so on are the most valuable features."

"We would appreciate it if there was a larger database so that we could find information more often. For example, we can search for 10 people and only find the information for three of them, if we are lucky."

"To continually update the database with NAICS codes on businesses."

"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 would be helpful if a list of the codes and explanations could be included."

"There are some companies out there using Google or other sources to check / confirm if addresses are residential. If Melissa is not doing this, that could be an improvement."

"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."

"It will mix up family members at times, so we will change addresses at times that shouldn’t be changed."

"It would be nice if it also had a user interface, as it did in years past."

"The normalization factor should be improved so that it is better scaled. It should be more user-friendly."

"The only area of improvement that we've come across within the solution was the portfolio roadmap creation. There's a bit of limitation there, but otherwise, the tool itself is very good."

"Downtime issues should be improved."

"Pricing is very reasonable."

"It's affordable."

"Cloud version is very cheap. On-premise version is expensive."

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

"Pricing is very reasonable, no licensing required."

"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."

"The price for address validation is similar in all software. However, the price for geocoding decides the actual pricing. If you get their most accurate geocoding (called GeoPoints), then it will add about $10k+ per million requests."

"​It is affordable."
