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 scalability is very high."
"Address verification ensures our customers get their packages, and we aren’t charged for incomplete address information."
"Ability to validate addresses, make corrections to address."
"I was able to dedupe millions of records in the past, and append the most recent email."
"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 use their GeoPoints to get the most precise, rooftop level geocoding."
"We are able to more accurately identify valid, and better formatted, data which improves the data we store in our database."
"SSIS integration."
"Initial setup was fairly straightforward. The documentation was very good in terms of how to integrate and consume the service(s) that we use. It did not take an abundance of time to set up things on our side to use the service."
"The only thing that I can imagine that might be improved is how the available transactions verify addresses used. These transactions have a valid end date and must be used within the agreed timeframe."
"The custom software solution we still use in-house makes Excel a lot slower than usual."
"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."
"Pricing model."
"We encounter failed batch processes once in a while, but their team is quick to rectify issues."
"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."
"Pricing is based on tiers, with each tier capped at a specified number of records processed. Once you go over the cap at one tier, you are automatically bumped to the next tier. However, they seem to count failed batch processes so it’s good to keep track of the number of records sent. They’ll fix the count when notified, but their system fails to detect actual successful processes versus failed processes."
"One thing I would want to have, when you're doing a property search, you can do it either on the FIPS in the APN number or the address itself. For some entries, I'll have the APN number, and some I'll have the address. Apparently it cannot process something when both the FIPS-APN and the address are on there. I have to sort, once with one and once with the other, which is a little bit of a pain."
"The billing structure does not seem very accurate. We’ve had issues with miscounted batch records processed"
