The total ranking of a product, represented by the bar length, is based on a weighted aggregate score.
The score is calculated as follows: The product with the highest count in each area gets the highest available score.
(20 points for Reviews; 16 points for Views, Comparisons, and Followers.)
Every other product gets assigned points based on its total in proportion to the #1 product in
that area. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of reviews compared to the product
with the most reviews then the product's score for reviews would be 20% (weighting factor) *
80% = 16. For Average Rating, the maximum score is 32 points awarded linearly based on our
rating scale of 1-10. If a product has fewer than ten reviews, the point contribution
for Average Rating is reduced (one-third reduction in points for products with 5-9 reviews;
two-thirds reduction for products with fewer than five reviews). Reviews that are more than 24 months old,
as well as those written by resellers, are completely excluded from the ranking algorithm.

What do you think of Melissa Data Quality?
Primary Use Case We use Personator to validate any address entered into our system. We also use their GeoPoints to get the most precise, rooftop level geocoding. We do not use the name, email, or phone validation built into Personator. We use Express Entry Service to fuzzy search; in case there are multiple matches for the address entered, we present them to the user to pick the right one. • Improvements to My Organization We used to use a third-party product that had to be installed and maintained onsite. Since we switched to Melissa Data web services, we do not need to maintain those servers and/or software. Also, we get the most up-to-date addresses from USPS. • Valuable Features Address validation, standardizing and formatting. • Use of Solution One to three...Melissa

What do you think of Talend Data Quality?
Primary Use Case We have a legacy system (Wins + DB2), which stores all our data. For reporting purposes (from SQL), we need to analyze data. We use it for making decisions, for example, if we want to display data elements in our reports based on if a column ever gets a value entered by user or what are distinct values that we are receiving for transformation purposes. We use it to check patterns, like zip code, state codes, and phone numbers. We also check data value frequency for business decision in mapping from one system to another. • Improvements to My Organization With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects. • Valuable Features We have used value frequency and patterns. We have been...Melissa
