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... We use Ixsight to dedupe the customer across applications so that we know the customer's relationship across the bank."

"By validating and parsing the addresses our customers submit to us, we have reduced the number of addressing errors encountered during our processing."

"Provides quality accurate data that our downstream solutions depend on."

"Ability to keep our data set clean and usable for our community searches."

"This tool works better for us than using a batch processing system that we do not have enough control over as each record is being processed."

"We only use the one feature for the NAICS code. This allows our product users to know what industry a business is in."

"It has a straightforward, easy setup."

"Allows us to identify cell phones before dialing, and giving us data about callers."

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

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)."

"Speed of delivery/ease of use. They advertise a 24-hour, next business day turn time on data annotation, but I’ve found it is usually closer to 72 hours. This is still excellent, just make sure you add in the appropriate fluff to your delivery timelines."

"Pricing is based on tiers, with each tier capped at a specified number of records processed. Once you go over the cap at one tier, you are automatically bumped to the next tier. However, they seem to count failed batch processes so it’s good to keep track of the number of records sent. They’ll fix the count when notified, but their system fails to detect actual successful processes versus failed processes."

"We encounter failed batch processes once in a while, but their team is quick to rectify issues."

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

"More countries should be supported by Melissa."

"The SSIS component setup seems a little klunky."

"Needs to provide more phone numbers, even cell numbers (scrubbed numbers)."

"Needs more/better search tools are needed. Also, state and local tax data would be nice."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"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."

"The price for address validation is similar in all software. However, the price for geocoding decides the actual pricing. If you get their most accurate geocoding (called GeoPoints), then it will add about $10k+ per million requests."

"This vendor has no equal in pricing for equivalent functionality."

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

"Depends on situation. We prefer to have data onsite, but some might prefer web access."

"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."
