We are using the product for data quality. We can connect it with data sources, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Teradata, and local systems, including shared drives, to check data quality and profiling. We can also use it to write rule logic as well.

Has an efficient data profiling feature and a simple setup process
Pros and Cons
- "The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
- "It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check. To get data quality, we need to collect all data. We have data everywhere, and their initial goal in modern times is to get data quality. We normally ingest all the metadata from the data into Collibra. We need to manually download the report from Collibra and load it into Ataccama. We are reducing these manual steps using the integrators and putting Ataccama and Collibra together. Ataccama can also perform the EDR.
What needs improvement?
It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data. We have to raise a ticket to Ataccama's team.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the Ataccama ONE Platform for two years. We are a customer of Ataccama.

902,417 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable. I rate its stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Ataccama has different documents on their side. I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
Our IT security team manages technical issues.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is simple. We are better equipped to handle that connection type when we connect very different data tools.
What other advice do I have?
We worked with stakeholders to clean and profile the data so they could easily analyze it. We have some unrestricted data formats, such as XML or JSON. To redeliver this data, we need to create a plan. It is similar to the previous process, but we cannot perform data quality checks on this type of data. We need to create the data in XML Insight to use data quality checks. There are many functions inside the Ataccama, such as fixing grid files. We can read dispute finance data in the web app and generate reports. Currently, we need to create the component or dispute. Then, the data comes into the room in a stable format, and we can easily upload it to change the data quality.
Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Is easy to deploy and is free, but marketing strategies need improvement

Helps us understand data quality, from multiple sources, in layman's terms
Pros and Cons
- "The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
- "By understanding the existing data from various source systems, we were able to arrive at the requirements for a data quality plan, and create a separate plan to improve the data quality."
- "Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."
What is our primary use case?
DQA is a data profiler.
How has it helped my organization?
My organization's requirement was to build a centralized, quality data repository by accumulating client data from various source systems. This tool helped in understanding the quality of the data available in each system. By understanding the existing data from various source systems, we were able to arrive at the requirements for a data quality plan, and create a separate plan to improve the data quality.
What is most valuable?
The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms.
What needs improvement?
Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What other advice do I have?
DQA is similar to Ataccama ONE. One difference is that DQA is an IDE-based data profiler. The IDE is built on Eclipse. All you have to do is import the data and set up the metadata of that data, write the data and select profile. This gives you the complete profile of the data, detailing the data quality and consistency.
I would rate it an eight out of 10. It has most of the necessary features needed, and almost all features available in a competitor's product. However, there is scope for improvement.

It is very fast but could be faster if it had the possibility to change the batch size.
Pros and Cons
- "I was able to ascertain that elements of information was or was not of value to the migration process, thus saving money in the migration project."
- "The non-free version has much more capabilities and I did not have the occasion to try it."
What is most valuable?
Easy to configure, fun and easy to use.
How has it helped my organization?
I was able to ascertain that elements of information was or was not of value to the migration process. Thus savings money in the migration project.
What needs improvement?
It is a free product. I would like to be able to control the batch size i.e. number of records it processes at a time when it generates its report. The non-free version has much more capabilities and I did not have the occasion to try it.
For how long have I used the solution?
Since 2009
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Nope. Very easy and straight forward.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is very fast but could be faster if it had the possibility to change the batch size. See my room for improvement comments above.
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service: Not rated because we never have been a registered user.Technical Support: Ataccama has a user forum where personal from Ataccama answered very quickly for the few questions we asked.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
No. But I did try Talend DQ Profiler and it sucks compared to DQ Analyzer.
How was the initial setup?
Very easy setup.
What about the implementation team?
In-house.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Yes. But this solution was cost effective (free) for what we needed to do.
What other advice do I have?
Ataccama has videos to help you get started. Its product is easy to explore without fear of breaking anything.
