I like that it is very straightforward and easy to use. With very little training we had it up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It had errors at first but the Data Ladder team really worked with us to figure every detail out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool is very intuitive and easy to use. Its wizard-like interface walks you through the entire process of creating a project. The flexibility of importing and exporting data and results is also fantastic. You can create database tables for production processes or Excel spreadsheets for one-off reports very easily. The configurability of the match definitions is very helpful. You can set up multiple match definitions and have different confidence levels and weights depending on what makes sense for your use case. There are also multiple ways to automate your projects including the scheduler, the command line interface and the add-on API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a number of "advanced" features that we haven't taken advantage of yet because there isn't a ton of documentation available on the tool itself. Things like reusing data sources from the data library, creating custom data profiling patterns, wordsmithing, advanced matching options, and merge and survivorship rules. Support has been responsive when we've asked questions, but it would be nice if there was more, easy to find, user manual type documentation available for the product.

how easy is to use the sw. I do it now in automatic mode, since it is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
well, not much to dislike here. At the beginning I have to do some training, but the DataLadder team gave a video session which was enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Datamatch does the job very well as data quality as tool for data governance. The usability is an especial issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
May be some ones bugs, but were solved on time by Datamatch team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the UI could be a little more intuitive but overall it's still quite easy to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DataLadder is simple to use and quickly lets you search for matches between different sets of Data from multiple sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Depending on the origin of the Excel document, sometimes the program does not recognize the data. We encounter issues when converting PDF to Excel and running that information through DataLadder. But an easy fix is to copy the converted data and paste it into a new Excel workbook. However, I learned that through trial and error. The programs will run without a problem but will not show any results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DataMatch makes our matching projects possible in a short amount of time and helps prove value to the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like that I can see the tables and click on what I want them to do as for as matches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ease of use for this program when matching data from excess tables to confirm hows successful our business practices are Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that data match may sometimes freeze or crash depending on the size of the data that is entered into this program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface can sometimes be hard to navigate for newer users and training content is not easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to get up and running. Producing far more results than working by hand, in less time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI is not great. Many colleagues complain that the interface is confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DataMatch Enterprise is easy to learn and use. It's easy to review results. Saves us tons of time in manually checking records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The address verification function runs slowly and the user interface takes training to understand completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a nice interface and the filtering of data once you get it to Datamatch is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
