DataMatch Enterprise Reviews

My favorite part of DataMatch is how easy and flexible it is to use. I can use data from virtually any data source including ODBC connections, CSV files, and JSON files. It does a great job with data cleansing making the matching process even more powerful and being able to merge rows with very flexible rules for the final export is extremely helpful. The support team is also very responsive and helpful when I run into anything I have an issue figuring out.

Sometimes the UI could be a little more intuitive but overall it's still quite easy to figure out.

Reach out if you find any features that you would like to have added. They are very open and responsive to feedback.

I use DataMatch Enterprise to cleanup lists that I receive from clients in multiple formats. With DataMatch I can accept files in any format, some customers like to send in JSON and some like to send via CSV. I can import any file type, fix formatting issues, search for duplicate records, report back to my customers the issues I found in the data in a friendly pdf, and then export the data in JSON format which I can then easily import into my database.

I like the fact that DataMatch is user-friendly. Also, it almost never crashes. It's easy to update and easy to use. It's also easy to export data and easily apply to whatever your needs may be.

It is also super important to utilize a service that suits your business needs. DataMatch is that ideal service.

Sometimes, DataMatch does not catch all data, but with the understanding that it is a system, it is ultimately up to the user to do further research.

I Highly recommend this product! If there were ever any issues or you needed help updating the software, the client services are communicative and responsive.

We are solving conversion concerns. We use DataMatch to prove our value.

DataMatch Enterprise is easy to learn and use. It's easy to review results. Saves us tons of time in manually checking records.

Occasionally wonder why some records aren't tagged as possible dupes. But the number of dupes that slip through is small given our datasets, and we consider it an acceptable percentage.

Enterprise was in beta when we started with Data Ladder. They worked with us diligently until everything worked perfectly for us. The product has functions and features we haven't even used, so I am confident it can be helpful in ways we don't even know of. This product has been a lifesaver for me!

Identifying records in purchased lists that are already in our database. Very helpful when we transitioned from one CRM to another; allowed us to compare datasets as we needed to troubleshoot problems that cropped up during and after the transition. Allows us to crossreference our database with data we find online in order to incorporate new info into our database.

I like that it is very straightforward and easy to use. With very little training we had it up and running.

It had errors at first but the Data Ladder team really worked with us to figure every detail out.

Have this as part of your total data quality management plan otherwise, it will be hard to get everyone who needs to use to see the point of using it. We had success by having one person from each department represent their department in a separate committee for this. This helped with by in.

There are features we haven't had a chance to use yet but it is already cutting down errors within the company and freeing up a lot of time with the tech team. It's good to see our management feeling more confident with our data.

This substitutes utilizing Excel to retrieve lead matches from different databases. DataMatch is more effective and efficient for this. It increases my productivity using this software

It would be more efficient if we're able to generate multiple results in one run and for the software to automatically scrub/clean the data instead of having to specify "cleaned" in the field under "Match Definition". There are too many fields that it gets confusing sometimes (cleaned vs regular). However, being able to generate multiple results at once would definitely be a game changer.

It takes awhile to learn the features of DataMatch. The more you use it, the easier it will become

We run DataMatch to determine the lead to lease conversion. DataMatch scrubs the format of the data for consistency, which saves us time from doing it ourselves

When using DataMatch, I love how quickly the program loads my tables. The ease of setting up my tables to compare and then running the data is seamless. I'm still finding new features I didn't even know about. My team loves this program! 10/10 will register again.

I'm still finding new features I didn't even know about. The manual is not the easiest to read, but with a little patience you're up and running in no time. Additionally, the product is a little on the pricey side, but nonetheless worth it.

Be prepared for a steep learning curve!

We use the software to compare our marketing data against our clients. The great thing about the software is we can determine gaps in our business in addition to finding miss-attributed data points from our clients.

DataMatch makes our matching projects possible in a short amount of time and helps prove value to the client.

I'm not convinced that it finds every single exact match, as sometimes I find matches manually that the software didn't pick up. I've been unable to discern why it catches some and not others. I have to try different variations of fuzzy and exact matches to make sure I've picked up all possible outcomes.

Works great, however, expect it to not always find every single match, especially when running larger amounts of data.

It is used to lease match; we prove value to clients who pay money to advertise on our sites. This software helps prove that their leases come from prospects who found their property on our sites.

If I can sum it up in just 3 words it would be "The Entire Program". I really like the program in its entirety, it has extremely powerful tools and does exactly what we needed it for - data consolidation, flagging duplicates, merging/overriding and deleting data and so much more. Oh, and how can I forget to mention the great customer service they offer their clients, you reach out to them with any issue and they're on the case in no time. Responsive. Knowledgeable. Helpful.

I would have liked to be able to export the corrupted/damaged data records but the program only lets you pull them up and not export it. Secondly, the matches aren't 100% perfect there are still some bugs in the match algorithm

This program is far more effective, user friendly and reasonable than many other data cleansing programs I checked out prior to making my purchasing decision and their customer service is really great. See for yourself.

We receive lists from multiple sources that we first need to match up against our database to collect id numbers for records that already exist in our software. DME also allows us to compare 2 files and keep most updated information from either file to attain 1 complete file with most accurate information.

Primarily I use DME in a direct marketing context to match campaign responders to campaign targets. Together with Address Verification it is the most robust, easy-to-use and cost efficient tool I've ever used. It's also pretty fast. DME doesn't require programming skills to create or fine tune algorithms.

The address verification function runs slowly and the user interface takes training to understand completely.

Get a tutorial of the UI during any trial period. The tutorial covers features that aren't obvious (or are confusing) to a new user.

I use DME for direct marketing campaign results measurement. Benefits are better results (i.e., more matches with higher confidence level), faster turn-around time, transparency into the algorithms, and no requirement for SAS, SQL, etc., programmers.

I like that I can see the tables and click on what I want them to do as for as matches.

That I have to click and go through different steps to just do a simple a task. I would like something more simple to use just for simple projects. I do not like that I get diffent results when I run matchs.

I am comparing a rentroll from a property to the leads that my company sends them. We are seeing if we sent any leads that made leases.

It makes our matching projects in a short amount of time and helps prove ROI to our clients

I feel there are times we missed matches that we have found manually that for some reason the software did not pick up

Data ladder is straightforward with little to no frills. It has proved to be a robust tool for sifting through large data sets to find discrepancies

The interface can sometimes be hard to navigate for newer users and training content is not easy to find.

We use DataMatch to prove our ROI by comparing our records to those of clients. The program helps us demonstrate our results through data.

I like the ease of use for this program when matching data from excess tables to confirm hows successful our business practices are

I dislike that data match may sometimes freeze or crash depending on the size of the data that is entered into this program

We are solving problems with conversion rates from our b2b clients. We use DataMatch to prove our value.

it's a really good data cleansing software, it rarely gets stuck and works wonderfully with mysql

it doesn't have that many different functions, options and capacities

I would suggest that it is only purchased for very large, corporation sized databases, it's not worth using in smaller databases

we are cleansing our extensive oil sample database and updating it much more quickly

My favorite aspect is being able to manipulate different sets of data to tell one story

Unable to work with very large sets of data

Providing return on investment

Easy to get up and running. Producing far more results than working by hand, in less time.

None yet. I've been using the software intermittently for 3 months, so there's still more to learn. So far, it's performed very well.

Take the time to watch the training videos.

The program works. It is a no frill program and is effective 99% of the time. The program is very stable even when working with large datasets.

The UI is not great. Many colleagues complain that the interface is confusing.

We often need to compare company data with client data to ensure data trustworthiness.

It has a nice interface and the filtering of data once you get it to Datamatch is good.

The SQL extraction functionality does not work. This was explained at the sale and no one ever told us that it didn't work until after purchase and I tried to use it. When I went back to them about it in January 2014 the Tech team told me it was a "planned feature" in the next release. It is now July 2014 and there has been no update to correct this issue.
