Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use EDQ primarily for address verification. Being we are a Geo targeting company, it is very beneficial to use EDQ for a USD data. This helps prevent mis typing or invalid data from coming through. We can also use this feature to provide better quality data by looking at possible lack of data we have through user inputs.

Pros and Cons

Fairly easy to use interface
Rules and order and pretty flexible and easy to fine tune to get exactly the data you need
Output is easy to understand and useful for other purposes,

Installation and initial setup could have little more streamline approach.
More detailed instructions and examples to their Online Help documentation.
Stability. Sometimes with larger USD data sets, EDQ has a sluggish response and even sometimes a system crash.

Return on Investment

Improving our data quality has given us a upper hand on our competition. Especially when we can publish our accuracy of our data.

Alternatives Considered

Trillium Data Quality

I know of TDQ. We looked at the feature of TDQ and decided due to the license cost that we would use EDQ.

Other Software Used

Oracle Advanced Analytics, Java Reporting Engine

Likelihood to Recommend

Being we are a geo targeting company, one of our largest source of data comes from USD, which can be large firm or simple user interactions. We will these USD data through EDQ and compare the results to what we already have store in our DB. EDQ is extremely helpful in pointing out wrong USD and preventing that data from contaminating our final product.
