not sure how it cleans data??
Avantages
it does the job, however part of our job is to check addresses that are un-verified by the software., which can often result in 1000;s of records to check
Inconvénients
if you have just a postcode and a house number the system will generally fail to add detail and verify an address, likewise if address data is in the wrong order (house number after the road) the software is unable to spot and correct this.
Also spaces in data fields cause the system a problem
Couln't do my job without it.
Overall experience has been very good and would recommend/have recommended it's use to other businesses
Avantages
You can create your own unique searches, not just rely on default settings. Many setting variables allow you to tailor the searches to the varying quality of data sets worked on. Finds matches I would have struggled to find, if find at all, manually. These days MatchIT is far quicker than earlier versions. Easy/straightforward to renew every year. Enthusiastic and helpful support.
Inconvénients
Sometimes seems a little fragile/sensitive. Keyboard shortcuts don't work properly, have to keep switching to mouse.
Good product, great support and service
Initial sales and consultation process was very good, lots of help/advice without being too pushy to get the sale. Excellent after sales support to help us get the best from the product.
Avantages
It's flexibility and open-source nature of the SQL version and quality of results
Inconvénients
It's a bit tricky getting your head around how and what to change in order to tweak the matching results to get it tailored perfectly when working with different different data sources that have different quality level
SQL Prompt and SQL Search
Customer service is key. Every issue we've had has been dealt with promptly, and the people at the other end of the phone line are obviously very knowledgeable.
Avantages
We love this. It makes all the niggly bits of SQL coding and automates them out, so you spend your time thinking and programming not typing and looking for names/objects.
Inconvénients
It doesn't like Citrix - we had to run a special implementation. To be fair the workaround does work, but it can be challenging for a new user.
Very good tool, closely integrated with SSIS and with excellent support available.
Cleansing customer data such as postal addresses and names. Deduplicating customer data. Suppressing specific categories of customers. Integrating within SSIS solutions. Migrating data between environments and applications
Avantages
This is for MatchITSQL.
- On-premise only environment which is deemed important for data isolation per legal requirements.
- Uses MS SQL Server which takes advantage of existing infrastructure and licensing.
- Closely integrated with SSIS which allows for very detailed and complex customization and manipulation of and allow to alternate between MatchIT automation and pure SSIS transformation/scripting as necessary.
- Brilliant and responsive customer support as well as good quality consultancy services have been a great help in implementing MatchIT in real-world solutions with very little downtime due to blocking issues.
- Very extensive parameterization capabilities.
Inconvénients
I think it would be beneficial to have more detailed documentation available as well as step-by-step examples/tutorials/videos to help get up to speed with MatchIT SQL, especially in relation with the plethora of parameterization capabilities available.
Easy to use
Avantages
We manage 1.2mil data accounts with a variety of fields. We generally mail to this data, for marketing purposes. This data needs to checked regularly to avoid duplicates from one file to a next. The matchit software allows us to complete these checks quickly and accurately.
Inconvénients
It can take some time to run the files but this is to be expected when dealing with such large volumes of data.
Good quality product
We really like Match it its a great program, its expensive but like anything you get what you pay for. The staff have fantastic knowledge and are incredibly helpful. The tech support is second to none.
Avantages
The software is clear and simple to use. It does vastly more then similar competitors programs.
It has a lot of great features which make it simple.
Inconvénients
The last version had a few glitches that don't seem to have been resolved yet.
Leading Dedupe Softare
Avantages
I've used MatchIT for 10+ years and get really good results on this software. Whilst many many apps will do deduplication on data, we find MatchIT to be the most flexible and affective.
Inconvénients
It can be a little fiddly to get things setup right the first few times although guides are available.
Does what it says on the can
It as provided most of the things we need and has performed well. Help is very good and I would recommend it.
Avantages
It seems to be very accurate and we haven't had any anomalies with data etc. Runs pretty fast considering the amount of data it uses, especially when using suppression files.
Inconvénients
Little bit quirky and has a few minor issue, mainly with interpretation of data and header records. Not the most easiest layout to use as things need to be run in certain orders and this can be a bit clunky on this side.
Essential Tool for our needs
I use this software on a weekly basis, for multiple tasks. i find it intuitive and always meets the needs of the task.
Avantages
The software is clear and concise, which allows us to process and analysis our data quickly and accurately.
we also transfer specific variables from one list to another, this achieves this need flawlessly.
Inconvénients
It can slow down when we compare large lists against each other.
Excellent mailing house address software
Excellent software for the mailing industry, when looking to reduce postage costs for larger mailings.
Avantages
Easy to setup jobs. Fast data processing. Easy to understand 'out of box' reporting.
Inconvénients
Can be resource hungry if you are using large data files. Sometimes have to run jobs multiple times, using different options to obtain full results.
I've been using matchIT for over 25 years.....need I say more?
It's come a long way & having used matchIT since I think v2.1 on 2 floppy disks - it's matching routines assist in many of the multi-file dedupe work I still do!
Avantages
Intuitive imports and great processing speed for multi-file work
Inconvénients
Nothing really - having worked with it in its many phases of development - always learning new tricks.
Deduplication for B2B circulation databases
I have personally used MatchIT for almost 10 years. Since the early days of its release it has continued to improve and match our changing needs.
The results and speed set it apart from other tools we have seen.
Our dedicated account manager and support have been great.
Avantages
The speed and accuracy of MatchIT desktop software along with its flexible programming objects and SQL tools make it an invaluable tool within our organisation.
Inconvénients
Not much negative to say. A great suite of tools
MatchIT Mailsort & PAF datacloeansing
Very good, they are very helpful and quick to respond
Avantages
This software is very good at creating mailsort files, bag tags, and quite easy to use after some training that Matchit provide over the phone.
Inconvénients
The only con was that we still cant prevent the column headers from an imported csv file appearing in the mailsort data without a complicated blacklisting of those names (which may be in the data so not a good idea).
Mailing House
Avantages
I've worked in the mailing industry for nearly 8 years now. MatchIT suite is definitely the most user friendly and ease of use software I have used.
Inconvénients
None, the software does what i need it to do.
MatchIt Software Solution
Have been usiong MatchIt for over a decade. The software has always been functional and well supported.
Avantages
HelpIt systems provide a very good level of support, including training courses if needed. Software is low cost and also flexible. DPS allocation system, in particular, works much better that our external PAF supplier.
Inconvénients
No particular issues, other than the occasional problem which arises every now and then.
Great Product
Avantages
Easy to use, fast service and great value
Inconvénients
Doesn't have all the requirements that we currently need but still a great product
MatchIT review. Really easy to use software
Slicker processes and system integration. It's making my teams day to day job easier and allowing us to go above and beyond for our clients.
Avantages
The ease of use and also it's feature rich. We use MatchIT for automations and never have any issues. No problems with large data files and speed is not an issue.
Inconvénients
No real dislikes with the software. Overall I am happy with the features.
For the price, we are extremely happy with the software
For the price, we are extremely happy with the software.
Avantages
Very handy software for those in the mailing industry. Those looking to cut costs when it comes to mass mailings for either them or their customers should really think about investing.
Inconvénients
The look and feel of the app is a little dated.
Hard to tell who it is aimed for
Avantages
Access to the most common data processing for bulk mailing jobs combined with easy access to additional paid services.
Inconvénients
Unintuitive, convoluted ways of achieving even the most basic results, bizzarre quirks, problems with comma delimited files and lacking so absolutely basic functionality it is baffling (no option to ignore a file's native header row from processing without jumping through so many hoops with so many caveats it's not worth it in the end).
Used for over ten years!
The cost of the software is a big benefit but its good software too so.
Avantages
Once you know the steps and setting for your dedupe it's quick and easy to use.
Inconvénients
Sometimes with new data sets it can take a bit of playing around to get your ideal settings.
matchIT Review
Avantages
It allows us to mailsort jobs. Does what it says it should.
Inconvénients
The interface is currently too complicated to pass on to our despatch team. Currently have to have our developers using it. The minimum gone away / deceased cost is very high.
matchIT
Avantages
We can use MatchIT for all of our clients regardless of which postal provider they choose.
Inconvénients
Initially it was quite confusing to use but the IT support was fantastic and talked us through it well.
Data cleaning success
Avantages
This software was straightforward to use, and did everything that I hoped it would.
Inconvénients
The support wasn't quite as helpful as I'd hoped.
overall it does the job, whilst being fairly slow, 20 minutes plus to clean and check 10K records.
sometimes disappointed that the software isn't able to identify correct information , but in the wrong order.
