DT Debbie T. Bookkeeper Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/22/2019 "Very reliable useful tool" 5/5 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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.
