Dedupe helps us identify customer relationships as well as non-performing assets
We are using it primarily as a dedupe application. Our bank has multiple customer onboarding applications (different ones for trade products, non-trade, micro finance products, consumer finance products) and we use Ixsight to dedupe the customer across applications so that we know the customer's…

SSIS MatchUp Component is Amazing
- Scalability is a limitation as it is single threaded. You can bypass this limitation by partitioning your data (say by alphabetic ranges) into multiple dataflows but even within a single dataflow the tool starts to really bog down if you are doing survivorship on a lot of columns. It's just very old technology written that's starting to show its age since it's been fundamentally the same for many years. To stay relavent they will need to replace it with either ADF or SSIS-IR compliant version. - Licensing could be greatly simplified. As soon as a license expires (which is specific to each server) the product stops functioning without prior notice and requires a new license by contacting the vendor. And updating the license is overly complicated. - The tool needs to provide resizable forms/windows like all other SSIS windows. Vendor claims its an SSIS limitation but that isn't true since pretty much all SSIS components are resizable except theirs! This is just an annoyance but needless impact on productivity when developing new data flows. - The tool needs to provide for incremental matching using the MatchUp for SSIS tool (they provide this for other solutions such as standalone tool and MatchUp web service). We had to code our own incremental logic to work around this. - Tool needs ability to sort mapped columns in the GUI when using advanced survivorship (only allowed when not using column-level survivorship). - It should provide an option for a procedural language (such as C# or VB) for survivor-ship expressions rather than relying on SSIS expression language. - It should provide a more sophisticated ability to concatenate groups of data fields into common blocks of data for advanced survivor-ship prioritization (we do most of this in SQL prior to feeding the data to the tool). - It should provide the ability to only do survivor-ship with no matching (matching is currently required when running data through the tool). - Tool should provide a component similar to BDD to enable the ability to split into multiple thread matches based on data partitions for matching and survivor-ship rather than requiring custom coding a parallel capable solution. We broke down customer data by first letter of last name into ranges of last names so we could run parallel data flows. - Documentation needs to be provided that is specific to MatchUp for SSIS. Most of their wiki pages were written for the web service API MatchUp Object rather than the SSIS component. - They need to update their wiki site documentation as much of it is not kept current. Its also very very basic offering very little in terms of guidelines. For example, the tool is single-threaded so getting great performance requires running multiple parallel data flows or BDD in a data flow which you can figure out on your own but many SSIS practitioners aren't familiar with those techniques. - The tool can hang or crash on rare occasions for unknown reason. Restarting the package resolves the problem. I suspect they have something to do with running on VM (vendor doesn't recommend running on VM) but have no evidence to support it. When it crashes it creates dump file with just vague message saying the executable stopped running.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are using it primarily as a dedupe application, and we use Ixsight to dedupe the customer across applications so that we know the customer's relationship across the bank."
"NCOA processing is now quick and easy. No waiting for the list to come back, no calling, and no worrying if there are enough credits available."
"​Allows us to identify cell phones before dialing, and giving us data about callers."
"Cleansing addresses of referring healthcare facilities to improve duplicate identification and geocoding their addresses."
"When we plugin the contact verify component in the ETL from Source Systems, it will greatly help in standardizing and cleansing the source data and help keep the downstream systems clean."
"​​Allows us to delete and correct incorrect data to make the searching of our applicant tracking system more consistent and relevant.​​"
"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."
"This serves our single need and we may utilize Melissa Data for other lookups, such as validate address lookup, in the future."
 

Cons

"I would like them to evolve the product's online strategy, as more and more the need is for a "prefacto" dedupe (before creating the customer)."
"Needs to validate more addresses accurately."
"There are some companies out there using Google or other sources to check / confirm if addresses are residential. If Melissa is not doing this, that could be an improvement."
"Pricing model."
"It will mix up family members at times, so we will change addresses at times that shouldn’t be changed."
"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."
"The use case I'm familiar with is for a merchant who was contrasting this technology with data from Dun and Bradstreet: so my recommendation is that Melissa Data purchase Dun and Bradstreet to combine their data breadth."
"It could always be cheaper."
"I wish there was a way to do a "test run" and see what a particular format will give you."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Understand how may transactions you will be processing so that you can get the right tier pricing."
"NCOA address verification was a requirement from USPS to send out the mailers. This was the only option that charged per address which was extremely helpful since we are a small non-profit school."
"​You should have a good idea of the size of your data and the amount of cleansing you will be doing, so you will purchase the appropriate size bundle.​"
"Generally, the cost is ROI positive, depending on your shipping volume."
"They were willing to work with our preferred vendors, though it involved extra steps to get the license."
"Be sure to determine how the data is priced (record-based versus credit-based or some hybrid of data and services)."
"This vendor has no equal in pricing for equivalent functionality."
"​It is affordable."
