Melissa Data Quality vs SQL Power Data Quality comparison

"​We are able to more accurately identify valid, and better formatted, data which improves the data we store in our database.​"

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

"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."

"There have been tangible benefits in combating fraudulent transactions. The information from Melissa Data is fed straight into our fraud system. This creates efficiency but also removes the need for manual address checks."

"Getting the most up to date address for our members. We like to keep in touch with membership a few times a year so we want to maintain up to date addresses to be sure they receive any information that we mail to them."

"Services for all manner of data-driven organizations, no matter their size or budget."

"I was able to dedupe millions of records in the past, and append the most recent email."

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

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

"It could always be cheaper."

"We have noticed that some of the emails and addresses return with confusing or incorrect codes, but for the most part, it is accurate.​"

"I wish there was a way to do a "test run" and see what a particular format will give you."

"The SSIS component setup seems a little klunky."

"The custom software solution we still use in-house makes Excel a lot slower than usual."

"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."

"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."

"An area for improvement is where an end customer's address is not found in the Melissa Data database, even though it is a valid address."

"Downtime issues should be improved."

"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."

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

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

"Pricing is very reasonable."

"It's affordable."

"This vendor has no equal in pricing for equivalent functionality."

"Melissa pricing is competitive."

"Pricing is very reasonable, no licensing required."

"Buy a lot more credits than you think you’re going to need."

"The only complaint that I have towards it is they sell licenses based on a range of usage, and I feel those ranges are too large."
