Grid® for Data Quality Tools
Data Quality Tools Definition
Data quality tools analyze sets of information and identify incorrect, incomplete, or improperly formatted data. After profiling data concerns, data quality tools cleanse or correct that data based on previously established guidelines. Deletion, modification, appending, and merging are all common methods of data set cleansing or correction; data analysts, marketers, and salespeople are just a few positions that benefit from leveraging data quality solutions.
By targeting and cleaning data lists, data quality software allows businesses to establish and maintain high standards for data integrity. These solutions are also helpful for ensuring that data adheres to these standards, based on the required industry, market, or in-house regulations. This process of maintaining data integrity enhances the reliability of such information for business use. Data sets can range from customer contact information to granular financial statistics and much more.
Data quality software products may also share features or coexist with master data management (MDM) software, data integration software, or big data software. While tangentially related to data quality solutions from a functional standpoint, address verification software differs through its distinct use cases, focus on physical location data, and reliance on authoritative location data sourcing to verify correctness.
To qualify for inclusion in the Data Quality category, a product must:
- Enable data profiling and identify data anomalies
- Provide basic data cleansing functionalities like record merge, append, and delete
- Allow data modification and standardization based on predefined rules
- Allow automated and manual cleaning options
- Offer preventive measures to preserve data integrity
