## Microsoft Data Quality Services Reviews
  ### 1. Data Quality Services: it is petit great tool with so much potential!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ricardo S. | Database Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

It is advantageous and makes the cleaning and matching data a easy, fast, and straighforward task to implement. Automation is easily achieved by integrating with SSIS (SQL Server integration services). Also, the integration with the remaining MS SQL Server BI stack is seamless including the Master Data management framework.

**What do you dislike about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

Data Quality client needs some bug fixes, improvements, and upgrades. Nothing has changed in the app since its release in 2012. It seems Microsoft / SQL Server team doesn't care fo it anymore. Also, there is no apparent reason not to be part of the standard edition of SQL Server, which would help increase its adoption by the market.

**What problems is Microsoft Data Quality Services solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Data quality was a big issue for the business because it received a lot of CSV files from external providers without following any standard or conformity. Manual cleansing was not scalable and lengthy. The tool perfectly fitted the business process to solve this issue once and forever.

  ### 2. Very reliable useful tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Debbie T. | Bookkeeper, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2019

**What do you like best about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

It's a good and stable tool that can be easily backed up and restored when needed with all the capabilities of Microsoft SQL profiler for performance montionering and debugging is great and it only takes a short amount of time to set it up but to me probably the best part is how it integrates seemlessly with the windows server products which makes updating and configuration very easy.

**What do you dislike about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

The price is somewhat steep , especially when going over the data of 10 GB but of course there's the free version but it won't come with all the benefits. It also uses a lot of ram space for installations of software and alot of times it does lag when trying to login but if pricing is not a problem for you then I very much recommend this product as with anything from Microsoft, it is great!

**Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Data Quality Services:**

As always Microsoft is great and keeps getting better and if pricing is a factor , there's the free version without all of the benefits of the paid version of course but for small businesses, free version should be fine and I definitely recommend using Microsoft Data 

**What problems is Microsoft Data Quality Services solving and how is that benefiting you?**

On a daliy basics, our company has been able immediately solve larger transactions through it's script and the intellisense makes writing queries very quick and super efficient.

  ### 3. Microsoft Data Quality Service - Data cleansing client aplication

**Reviewed by:** Jaidev S. | Team Lead, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2018

**What do you like best about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

I like most its data cleansing process and simplicity of applcation use.
Easy to create new Knowledge Base and Data Quality projects.
Next to this its preety easy in case of mapping to excel report or data. I can clean the bad data from my excel sheet just by upload the file and customize its cleanup property.
Need to map the excel sheet with my knowledge base detail project.
It gives proper detail what percent of data corrected and accuracy of the same. Finally its export feature is amazing just select the file and export by a single click.

**What do you dislike about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

I find only a minor issue - it does not support nvarchar(max) data type except that all good.

**Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Data Quality Services:**

This is an awesome application for data cleanup. Go for it if you are looking for a cleansing application.

**What problems is Microsoft Data Quality Services solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We automated the bad data cleanup process through data quality service with the help of a few staff memeber. Earlier to this application it was very tedious task and time taking as well. Powerfull application for data cleansing.

  ### 4. A good tool for ensuring clean data

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2019

**What do you like best about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

I like that the data analysis is computer-assisted, but it's also interactive, so that we can really "manage" the knowledge of our data. 

**What do you dislike about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

This works well for our company because most of the platforms we use are from the Microsoft Office Suite. I'm not sure how seamlessly this would work for those who don't use/are not familiar with Microsoft products. 

**What problems is Microsoft Data Quality Services solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before using this product, we didn't really have a standardized way to clean up our data. We collected participant data every few weeks during our training sessions, and we had to compile that data at the end of every month, then at the end of the year. Our solution before was basically to go through it manually, which was very time consuming. Microsoft Data Quality Services saves us time and produces less errors than we previously had. 

  ### 5. It puts the "Quality" in Data Quality Solutions

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2019

**What do you like best about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

DQS helps you perform import and export operations with a knowledge base. You can import and export domains or knowledge bases using a DQS file, you can import values from Excel files, and even values that have been found by cleansing processes. 

**What do you dislike about Microsoft Data Quality Services?**

At first, integration seemed impossible. Their customer service was impeccable though, so any issues we encountered were always handled swiftly and thoroughly. No complaints here. 

**Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Data Quality Services:**

This is a great solution that has met all the needs they set out to support. 

**What problems is Microsoft Data Quality Services solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed an IT solution that could identify potentially incorrect data DQS provided us with an assessment of the accuracy of our data. DQS provided an understanding of the data making it easier to solve issues with the data we had stored in both our customer and employee knowledge bases.

I don't like that it has to be used for the whole system, like there is no add on option. I wish we could have this along with other applications.

You need someone from Microsoft to explain how to use this. Be very patient. I think it's an okay product overall.
