| BI Technical Arquitect with 1,001-5,000 employees | 5.0 | I've used this software for 4 years, valuing its data profiling and cleansing features. It has good stability and scalability, and customer service is excellent. My main improvement suggestion is for predefined rules, though initial setup can be challenging. |
| Application Systems Security Tech at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | As an administrator, I value the project management and data transfer tools. Installation and documentation are complex and overwhelming, while initial support can be frustrating, though dedicated resources provide excellent service. |
| IT Administrator at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | 5.0 | I find QualityStage an outstanding, scalable data quality tool, excellent for experienced users and data migration. Despite some limitations, its performance and features make it my default choice over others. |
| Developer with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I found this a powerful, scalable tool for complex data quality and cleansing, particularly with probabilistic matching. Its longer deployment and learning curve make it less suitable for simple projects or small enterprises. |
Data Profiling and Data Cleansing features.
I work for a company which provides solutions to the customers using this software
Predefined rules implementation depending on the industry
4 years
The installation process will depend on the solution topology from the infrastructure point of view. But if you go for the easy way (Everything installed on the same box) the installation process is easy.
No significant stability issues found.
No significant scalability issues found.
Customer service is really good.
Technical Support:Customer service will depend on the support you buy, but I would say the the support up to now has been really good.
I have checked out IDQ and IDE (Informatica)
It's difficult to get the overall knowledge if you are coming from java or similar engages.
In-house
I would recommend this solution depending on the Data Quality Issues you have.
QualityStage remains unique in the Information Server suite. It’s the best standalone single purchase of the entire suite ever released. Indeed, it is distinguished in terms of single data quality tool for scope and performance as it runs on an extremely scalable parallel architecture.
• It’s good for experienced users and not for novices.
• Has little attraction for Data Warehouses and dimensional models.
• It’s not required when dealing with codes and numbers
QualityStage eases data migration as it permits merging and cleaning for a brand new application. It’s got an in-built GUI design across both ETL and data quality functions, it's got a huge variety of source and targets comprising native parallel connectivity to Oracle, SQL Server, Teradata and DB2. These days I would choose it by default as compared to any other product.
Best profiling tool available, scalablity, automatic linking between data and business glossary, parallel framework, accurate probabilistic matching, scientific justification of matching
There is a longer deployment time, it is a complex cost model, and has a longer learning curve as it is meant for complex cleansing. It is not a good choice for simple data profiling projects or for small enterprises.
It was chosen by our organization for the implementation of CRM and Datawarehouse initiatives, in order to address various data quality issues, along with Info-sphere Information Server Data Integration, which greatly reduced our implementation time. It was mainly used for data cleansing and customer data enrichment by using its powerful probabilistic matching technology for customer and household views consolidation.
