We switched from SAP BODS to Dataflux as Dataflux has good data profiling and data standardization capabilities.

I've been using DataFlux for 3 years. We switched from SAP BODS to Dataflux as Dataflux has good data profiling and data standardization capabilities. Since then, we have implemented many Data Standardization and Data enrichment Projects using Dataflux and have found that the most important features are its data profiling capabilities and ease of use. We implemented in-house- setup was very simple. Technical support and customer services are good - 4 out of 5.

QKB customization and Integration of Dataflux with Other Tools like MDM/ETL etc., has room for improvement. Over the last 3 years we haven't experienced any issues when it comes to stability, scalability or deployment. Overall, it's an easy solution to use and is a highly stable product with good data profiling and standardization capabilities.

Hi, We are currently using SAP DS for address and name standardization purposes; our client wants to evaluate whether there is any other product on the market which can do better. The question I have is, how good is the address cleansing, parsing and enrichment capability of the DataFlux? Also, does it provides the data coverage for all the global countries?

Any suggestion will be useful for my analysis.

Thanks

Access data from across the enterprise with this high end solution

Valuable Features:

• In my previous employer we used the DataFlux suite of data quality, data integration and data governance solutions. It provided us cross-functional data management. • Great for ETL, CDC, data federation, RT data flow. Works with cloud and big data environments. • It enabled us to access and use data sources from across our enterprise in order to maintain a consistent set of policies for managing our data. • We had a single and unified view of our enterprise data by using its MDM component.

Room for Improvement:

Costly. Not great for non-ETL use cases. Licensing model is not very flexible.

Other Advice:

I like the fact that with DataFlux you can standardize and merge multiple records in a database such as people's names and locations. DataFlux in my opinion is an excellent high end solution for enterprise wide data management.
