We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It fulfills the USPS requirements for mailings​.""Postal sorting to the best and lowest postal rates."

More BCC Data Quality Pros →

"Address parsing. Our other software does not have this functionality.""Be confident that the scalability and load are not going to be an issue with the services. ​""It saves a huge amount of time. Before using this service, we used a vendor that manually ran our lists through this NCOA list, which might have taken one to three business days to return the file. This was a huge bottleneck in our process, and the data returned was not always accurate. After switching to Melissa Data’s SmartMover, the process has been reduced to between ten minutes and three hours, depending on the amount of records sent.""By validating and parsing the addresses our customers submit to us, we have reduced the number of addressing errors encountered during our processing.""We mainly communicate with our customers via email, so we primarily use it to find a phone number so we can contact them more efficiently. This allows us to talk to them and resolve their issues much more quickly.""I was able to dedupe millions of records in the past, and append the most recent email.""We ran a standard name, address, and zip code, internal dedupe between the different files we had purchased, and we were able to quickly notify our vendor that they had tens of thousands of duplications that they were not even aware of.""Decreases chances of incorrect shipping addresses and, thus, returned packages."

Cons
"​I use another program for deduping files. I am not comfortable with the way BCC deduping runs when deduping by full name and address.​"

More BCC Data Quality Cons →

"Needs better email append coverage (but every vendor struggles with this).""​If I had multiple Excel files open and ran Listware it would crash Excel, charge the credits, and not save the results.""Needs to validate more addresses accurately.""MatchUp seems to be single threaded, and limits the amount of data that can be processed automatically.""There are some hitches in setup, especially with the new encoding, but otherwise it’s relatively simple.""To continually update the database with NAICS codes on businesses.""The SSIS component setup seems a little klunky.""We encounter failed batch processes once in a while, but their team is quick to rectify issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It's affordable."
  • "The price for address validation is similar in all software. However, the price for geocoding decides the actual pricing. If you get their most accurate geocoding (called GeoPoints), then it will add about $10k+ per million requests."
  • "They were willing to work with our preferred vendors, though it involved extra steps to get the license."
  • "Depends on situation. We prefer to have data onsite, but some might prefer web access."
  • "Melissa pricing is competitive."
  • "Pricing is very reasonable."
  • "I think it's worth the value for me to run it."
  • "Generally, the cost is ROI positive, depending on your shipping volume."
