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."
"We are able to more accurately identify valid, and better formatted, data which improves the data we store in our database."
"Helps our organization provide accurate address information to our customers for direct mailing (household) and other campaigns they want to do."
"The customers' addresses are now complete, correct and follow one consistent format."
"It saves a huge amount of time. Before using this service, we used a vendor that manually ran our lists through this NCOA list, which might have taken one to three business days to return the file. This was a huge bottleneck in our process, and the data returned was not always accurate. After switching to Melissa Data’s SmartMover, the process has been reduced to between ten minutes and three hours, depending on the amount of records sent."
"Address parsing. Our other software does not have this functionality."
"Decreases chances of incorrect shipping addresses and, thus, returned packages."
"Our customer database is now significantly more accurate and reliable."
"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."
"Address validation and parsing in a few countries have room for improvement."
"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."
"I wish there was a way to do a "test run" and see what a particular format will give you."
"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."
"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."
"MatchUp is a more complex product and I recommend a test area before upgrading to production. Performance can change from version to version."
"The SSIS component setup seems a little klunky."
"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."
