We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Postal sorting to the best and lowest postal rates.""It fulfills the USPS requirements for mailings​."

More BCC Data Quality Pros →

"Provides quality accurate data that our downstream solutions depend on.""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.""We like having the ability to write our own utilities/software to process our records and store the final output the way we want.""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.""We use a Melissa API to access the data, so it easy to use, accurate, and fast.""SSIS integration.""Address parsing. Our other software does not have this functionality."

Cons
"​I use another program for deduping files. I am not comfortable with the way BCC deduping runs when deduping by full name and address.​"

More BCC Data Quality Cons →

"It would be helpful if a list of the codes and explanations could be included.""The billing structure does not seem very accurate. We’ve had issues with miscounted batch records processed""There are some hitches in setup, especially with the new encoding, but otherwise it’s relatively simple.""MatchUp is a more complex product and I recommend a test area before upgrading to production. Performance can change from version to version.""Needs more/better search tools are needed. Also, state and local tax data would be nice.""MatchUp seems to be single threaded, and limits the amount of data that can be processed automatically.""Tech support at Melissa Data was very quick to wash their hands of an issue and say it's IT policies on my side that are causing the issue. There was no offer to try and find a work-around. Just an overwhelming attitude of "it’s not our problem."""​If I had multiple Excel files open and ran Listware it would crash Excel, charge the credits, and not save the results."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It's affordable."
  • "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."
  • "They were willing to work with our preferred vendors, though it involved extra steps to get the license."
  • "Depends on situation. We prefer to have data onsite, but some might prefer web access."
  • "Melissa pricing is competitive."
  • "Pricing is very reasonable."
  • "I think it's worth the value for me to run it."
  • "Generally, the cost is ROI positive, depending on your shipping volume."
