Ixsight Data Quality vs Melissa Data Quality comparison

"We are using it primarily as a dedupe application... We use Ixsight to dedupe the customer across applications so that we know the customer's relationship across the bank."

"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."

"Address parsing. Our other software does not have this functionality."

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

"We are able to send out client mailings with the most accurate addresses possible."

"The high value in this tool is its relatively low cost, ease of use, tight integration with SSIS, superior performance (compared to competitors), and attribute-level advanced survivor-ship logic."

"Be confident that the scalability and load are not going to be an issue with the services. ​"

"Helps our organization provide accurate address information to our customers for direct mailing (household) and other campaigns they want to do."

"We use a Melissa API to access the data, so it easy to use, accurate, and fast."

"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)."

"One of the problems that we ran into this year was we probably spent over 40 hours finding and trying to drill down to where specific bugs were in the program, which was a tremendous waste of time for us. There were a couple of updates to Windows this year, the program kept crashing. It happened on two different occasions over a period of a few months. Once we told them what the problem was - even though their tech support is great to work with - it literally took probably about two months to fix the issue where we could actually use the program the way we needed to use it."

"MatchUp seems to be single threaded, and limits the amount of data that can be processed automatically."

"It would be helpful if a list of the codes and explanations could be included."

"It could always be cheaper."

"Needs to validate more addresses accurately."

"Did not work as advertized. Needs better results in address parsing, as described on the website."

"Pricing model."

"Tech support at Melissa Data was very quick to wash their hands of an issue and say it's IT policies on my side that are causing the issue. There was no offer to try and find a work-around. Just an overwhelming attitude of "it’s not our problem.""

"Understand how may transactions you will be processing so that you can get the right tier pricing."

"Trial subscriptions (via cloud) are very cheap and easy to use. It’s a great way to test Listware to see if you want to go deeper with integration."

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

"Fully understand your volume, both monthly and annually. Speak with a Melissa account manager, they will put together an effective solution to meet your needs."

"I think it's worth the value for me to run it."

"Pricing is very reasonable."

"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."

"​We are concerned that our own pricing is going up every year for Melissa Data products, but we highly recommend the services for people who are routinely sending out mailings."
