## Melissa Global Address Verification Reviews
  ### 1. Works better and is more reliable than the Presort library.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

The dataquality suite does a good job of ensuring mailing addresses are USPS verified.  The Presort library for actually compiling a bulk mailing would often break when updates were released and it took tech support an average of a week to fix the issues.  This meant not being able to do bulk mailings for a week which is not conducive for running a business.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

When new updates come out undocumented changes in the code breaks our implementation leading to days of work getting everything working again.  Tech support knows NOTHING about the changes that are made in updates so they are completely worthless to turn to for help.

Very poor, practically non-existent documentation.

Cryptic (if any) error codes returned from the object.

No input validation in the library so strings that are too long cause the library to crash without any information about why it crashed.

No documentation showing the maximum string length that can be put into each field of the library which makes the above problem darned near impossible to solve.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used to use the Melissa Data standalone bulk mail application.  By integrating the bulk mailing into our in house application we were able to reduce the employee time it takes to send out a bulk mailing from about a day down to about an hour.

  ### 2. The best, hands down, address service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Tobacco | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2021

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Melissa is the most accurate and best address service. 

It has a very friendly API available in a variety of formats (SOAP, REST, others). 

Melissa offers a huge array of different fields that can be used for many practical business purposes, both about the customer and about the addresses you submit.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

The only drawback I found was there wasn't a PHP SDK available out of the box. I ended up writing one and open-sourcing it, and a number of other people are now using my SDK. It's not the end of the world, other services don't have that as well, but it'd be nice if they'd offer that.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

Melissa isn't a magic thing you can implement and have fix your data. They don't advertise it as such which is fine. But don't expect that you won't have to do some work to integrate it into your site or your workflow. Expect to use your developers' time for it. If you have reasonable expectations for integrating it, then you'll be successful, it's by far the best data product.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use melissa for address verification: We offer the customer corrected address suggestions, we mark addresses that we think are wrong for review in our customer service department, and we mark addresses as either commercial or residential. Melissa data has reduced the number of fees incurred from shippers from inaccurate data at the point of entry, and has paid for itself in that regard.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Owen W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Price was my main focus on this - I had around 10,000 addresses that I needed cleaned for a bulk mailing and somehow found melissa, the pricing allowed me to purchase one-time and was SUBSTANIALLY cheaper than anyone else I could find -- I ran all my data (also very quick) and when I sent to printer only 18 addresses came back (out of 10,000 that is amazing!)

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Their user interface to get to the bulk upload tool was a little difficult to find **note** I contacted customer service and got a response immediately and they walked me through how to get there, so the dislike was very minor

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cleaning address lists mostly - their data processing and address verification tools are the best I have found

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marge T. | Program Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

We use Meldata to validate our customers' addresses prior to mailing, it's nice that we can cleanse a lot or just a few without impacting performance.  This reduces our returned mail volume imensely.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Meldata works for address cleansing, wish it was free, but it is worth the price for the volume of addresses we process annually.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

Good product, easy to use. Support is really good when we tested out doing NCOA in house.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Prevent returned mail and maintain valid address listing

  ### 10. Great Product - Time Saver

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nathan  C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2020

Helps verify information given to make sure it is accurate - It saves us a lot of time in the future so we're not wasting time trying to find a correct address, correct phone number or correct email address for a customer.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Sometimes the processing time is slow but really there's nothing else bad - Its cloud based but it also gives you the option to download it so the dislike that it is cloud based is mitigated by the ability to download the information as well.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

If the reviews haven't made your decision to use Melissa Clean Suite for you then TRY it give it a fair chance - use it for at least a month and I'm positive that you will see the value in the information that it provides you and your organization. Try it for 30 days and I'm convinced that you will continue to use it. The 1000 credits each month is a something that I have never seen offered by any other software comapny. Give it a try.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making sure the information we are given is accurate and completes - The benefits are not having to spend time later trying to find accurate information. In out business of financial services it is extremely important that we have accurate and complete information on our customers and this makes sure that it is not only complete but extremely accurate.

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I love that I can do all my countries in one file and not have to separate them out. So nice not to waste money on sending out mail pieces that are undelivered, especially to another country and not get them back for a year to learn the address was incorrect.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I had a few that didn't pass through UPS validation but overall I can't think of anything else.

This does not remove the invalid addresses, instead it adds a column with error codes for each address which can be a bonus or a distraction.

The support team at Melissa Data are very knowledgeable and talented.  Whenever a problem came up with implementation and customization for our system the team was always very quick to respond and resolve our issue.

If we ever have any questions about how to use the software we have an individual agent which makes the response quick and personalized.

The learning curve can be a bit steppe to get full use out of all the software has to offer. It's not necessary for basic use, but there is a lot of customization.  A comprehensive manual might be useful.

I have had a couple of things I needed in the interface of it, as well as Melissa Data made changes in a several weeks to create these features work. It is all good sense, which you are able to buy for a free session, however, not via mail or perhaps Salesforce product. It's extremely responsive!

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Camila R. | Jefe de marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I needed to do a thing with this interface, and Melissa Clean Suite made some changes in a few weeks to implement these features. Good sense assumes that you are able to get advice that is free, but in the product of yours and in the Salesforce, and that's true. Support is incredibly responsive! Another SaaS businesses never offer this service. The overall performance is excellent and it fulfills its functions.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Down the road, I want to develop simple automation for files that have to be emptied daily.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

  ### 32. Melissa Data Quality Suite helps to cleanse imperfect data with minimal training

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

One of the best and most helpful features of the Melissa Data Quality Suite is that it enables users to cleanse the data that has bad address data or incomplete data regarding addresses. One of the other useful features of this data quality suite is the ability to do fuzzy matching.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Least helpful/ in convenient feature of Melissa Data Quality Suite is the requirement of at least 100 records submission to perform NCOAA/CASS. This is restrictive and can be inconvenient when users need to perform CASS and NCOAA against a very small subset of data for quick testing purposes.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

I'd recommend using this software, particularly in cases where people need to clean address information to send out mailers. This software provides very nice address verification and standardization feature.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Some of the most frequently features that I use on Melissa Data Quality Suite to support various business units are:  CASS/NCOAA, Single list records deduping, Multiple List dediping, Fuzzy Matching, Address Verification and Standardization, Smart Mover, and Name Verification.

  ### 33. Excellent for working with a large number of addresses.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Efrain E. | Investment Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

What I like the most is cleaning the address and cleaning the space. This allows you to update and navigate quickly through thousands of addresses or add some data. The price was good, the customer service was good, and they took care of it.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

There is nothing offensive in Melissa's data, I just wish I could add them to my list after buying them and not have to review them at the roundabout before paying.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

Since the point comes with an "essay," you can try to see how much Melissa can help you! Highly recommended for those who need to correct their direction.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My job involves working with thousands of old and expired address accounts of people and using them to repair or update the addresses so they don't have to spend money on mail. This has saved me a lot of money. It helps a lot to work with investors.

  ### 34. Could be better

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Melissa has done a huge number of steps to improve the review process. Employees can collect personal information, such as the customer's address, to ensure that everything is proper. You may add valuable data of demographic  for very effective counting, segmentation and targeting. Melissa is keeping your contacts up to date to better manage sales and marketing activities.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

There's a significant learning curve using Melissa. Learning the program takes time because there are so many options.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

I suggest Melissa to any company that needs to collect customer data for validation. You will find nothing better than process optimization.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 37. MD Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gary D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I like there is an option for on premise version of both Data Quality Tools and GeoCoder.  I also like the ease of use from a developer perspective.  Easy to connect to the DLL's.  Our account representative is awesome.  I've worked with Riff Solar while I was at other companies.  He was the main reason I went with MD in my current role.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I would say the pricing model.  Previously, it was an annual license fee rather than a subscription based on hits.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

When making a decision, it's important to consider the quality of the people behind the software.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Address normalization and valid/invalid phone indicators.  Accurate data.

  ### 38. Fills My Needs Exactly

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emily M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 11, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I love that I only have to pay for what I use rather than a monthly fee, since I rarely work with mailing lists.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I wish there would be more detailed explanations on the options for mailing lists.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm solving the problem of having mailing lists that needed to be made mail ready.

  ### 39. Helpful Tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I love how easy to use Melissa Data is! I am glad that it makes everything so accessible and easy to navigate within the program. It has been so helpful to me and my company.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I wish that Melissa Data would add new tools that would allow for even deeper search functionally. Even without those features, the product works fine. I have little to complain about.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

Jump right it! Make sure to read the tutorials as well.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I realized how much data I had that wasn't validated and Melissa was able to clean that up for me, easily.

  ### 40. Excellent Support Staff

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2021

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Contact Verify tool used for geocoding addresses

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

License must be updated in multiple places

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use the tool for gecoding our trucking data each month and the specificity of the tool allows us to verify several more locations than we would otherwise be able to.

  ### 41. Offers a variety of functionality and features

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Isha S. | Senior Catastrophe Modeling Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

the features that I liked the most about Melissa Data Quality Suite is the variety of functionalities offered within the suite. This enables the users to perform a number of actions using this suite with the installation of just one software.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

The thing that I have found the most inconvenient is the fact that there are updates that have to be installed almost every month or so. I wish that the frequency was a little lesser and that multiple updates could be consolidated into fewer so that we do not have to undergo updates and installs so often.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Address standardization, global mover, mailers plus to do single list and multiple list dedupes to remove any duplicate names from the mailing lists sent out to potential customers.

  ### 42. Melissa Data Quality Suite has helped us to keep clean data in our database

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James B. | C, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

We are using SQL Server Integration Services for our ETL processes. We liked that Melissa had SSIS components we could use with no coding required.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

We don't like that the license key has to be changed every year in the environment setting of the server. It is a real hassle and has caused outages when we forget to apply the updated key. Worse, it seems one of our packages has to be edited and redeployed or it won't pickup the new license.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

MDQS solves the problem of mailing duplicate letters to a household saving money on the mailings. It also helps us to update our data with address changes when customers move.

  ### 43. Melissa Data Suite has helped to resolve important business problems and helped to reduce budget

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Most helpful feature about Melissa data is to use it to standardize the street addresses to be in accordance with the USPS standards which helps to reduce the mails sent out to be returned and eventually helps in controlling the budget.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

What I dislike the most about the Melissa data suite and products is the hiccups that I tend to run into whenever there is an upgrade in sql server versions or upgrade in Windows OS. I have had to spend quite a lot of time in the past researching on how to resolve those issues.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Use Melissa Data Suite to mostly fix any errors in mailing addresses so that the mails are sent out to the correct addresses and also used to standardize those mailing addresses to be consistent in format to the USPS standards. This has helped to reduce the volume of return mails.

  ### 44. Great Time Saver

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I like that I can decide the information I need to extract. More importantly, it saves me time from using a manual process.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I wish the report would provide some alternatives for addresses it cannot find. There was an address that came up as not being available, but when I checked online manually it existed.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Manually looking up missing information.

  ### 45. Listware has met our basic needs for address standardization but still lacks some features.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Think Tanks | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2017

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

The fact that it quickly standardizes addresses with a single click.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

That there is no option to run a bulk batch on addresses from a certain date range, it only allows for a batch to be ran on all addresses or unvalidated addresses. We recently completed a migration of 50,000 constituent records to Salesforce and would like to just run on those created after August 2016 and exclude the deep historical data. Secondly, I don't like that the personator button pops a new window it should simply refresh the current one with the changes made.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's saved tons of time correcting formatting on receipts and in-house mailings. Our mailhouse still does our NCOA compliance. 

  ### 46. Easy to use and simple pricing

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 24, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

The pricing makes sense, it's based on credits where you only pay for what you will need.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

There are so many services available and it can be hard to navigate the website

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Phone verification and address search are lifesavers!

  ### 47. Listware cleaned up 6,000+ addresses

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

I used Listware from Melissa Data. It was so helpful how the output showed errors in addresses at the click of a button. I struggled with verifying 7,000+ physical and mailing addresses, and Listware made this so easy to do.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

It would be great if Melissa Data Listware also provided any PO Box or mailing address associated with the physical.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work with thousands of mailing addresses and I struggled to verify them all. Listware makes this easy.

  ### 48. Great product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frank F. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

The address validation is what we used the most.  Very useful to be able to make sure that delivery addresses are correct. We used the email validation some, but never really put it into production.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

A little difficult to install, but once you got past it, worked great.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bad addresses and duplicates.  Being able to correct the addresses for customer records, then using that good address as a matching point was helpful.  We have multiple instances of many accounts, and matching to make sure they are the same actual company was very helpful and enlightening.

  ### 49. Excellent phone and address update software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2017

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

It is easy to buy credits for using the software to look up phone numbers and receive address updates/corrections.

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

It sometimes flags names are inappropriate (vulgar term found), especially oriental names, or it flags people's names as businesses.

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

Listware offers many features we do not utilize, but if you need mailing list tools, this software is for you.

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need to find phone numbers in order to contact clients we have name and address for, but no phone. The program also gives address corrections as well, which is very helpful. We get fewer returned or undeliverable mail back.

  ### 50. Great, reliable, easy to use

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jef B. | Director, Application Development & Data Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2020

**What do you like best about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

It handles address validation on both sides of the CA/US border all in one package

**What do you dislike about Melissa Global Address Verification?**

Sometime brand new Canadian addresses are challenging and rarely we need to interact with the support team to get things fixed. Very rarely

**Recommendations to others considering Melissa Global Address Verification:**

Solid support team, reliable product

**What problems is Melissa Global Address Verification solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Much cleaner and de-duplicated address database
