Featured Reviews

Streamlines reusable data quality rules and has highlighted the need for richer logic and documentation
I worked in Ataccama ONE Platform from version 5 and now we have version 15, which has improved a lot. However, there is still considerable scope for improvement because Ataccama ONE Platform was not that great around 2020 when I started working with it. There can still be more features including writing any logic, improving more keywords for logic building, and enhancing address validation, based on my understanding. User experience is actually good; I do not have any complaints or feedback on that. However, the documentation part can be improved because documentation is key for any organization or tool. If anything is needed for understanding, you have to rely on documentation. Ataccama's documentation has potential for improvement.

Quick MVP development facilitated by low-code data management
Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product. Its low-code approach, essentially a wrapper for SQL, enables easy and quick development. The core features include validation business rules, deduplication, merging, and consolidation from multiple sources.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ataccama ONE Platform has positively impacted my organization by being much cheaper compared to other DQ tools and providing very good support."
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
"Ataccama ONE Platform goes to some large corporations, we are using it for very big data, there is a lot of data being processed by Ataccama in our organization, and it is very good in scalability."
"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
"At the beginning, we had almost 80 percent data quality, and after using Ataccama ONE Platform, we reached 90 percent."
"It is also easy to deploy."
"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."
"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."
"Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product."
"Their documentation is excellent."
"The flexibility of Semarchy xDM allows for possible deployment on-premises, in the cloud, or both."
 

Cons

"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."
"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."
"It was a little tough for my team to learn and start using Ataccama ONE Platform because the documentation at that time was not good."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"I have heard that the licensing and setup costs are quite high, especially if we try to connect for a support call."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"When hybrid deployment is done, it doesn't have an option to load any kind of file directly into Ataccama ONE Platform."
"They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality."
"There is room for improvement in the developer experience, particularly for those who are SQL proficient, as having more direct access would be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in terms of local support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced."
"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."
