matchIT On Demand Reviews

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

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.

Cons

Sometimes seems a little fragile/sensitive. Keyboard shortcuts don't work properly, have to keep switching to mouse.

Pros

It's flexibility and open-source nature of the SQL version and quality of results

Cons

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

It can take some time to run the files but this is to be expected when dealing with such large volumes of data.

Pros

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.

Cons

The last version had a few glitches that don't seem to have been resolved yet.

Pros

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.

Cons

It can be a little fiddly to get things setup right the first few times although guides are available.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

It can slow down when we compare large lists against each other.

Pros

Easy to setup jobs. Fast data processing. Easy to understand 'out of box' reporting.

Cons

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.

Pros

Intuitive imports and great processing speed for multi-file work

Cons

Nothing really - having worked with it in its many phases of development - always learning new tricks.

Pros

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.

Cons

Not much negative to say. A great suite of tools

Pros

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.

Cons

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).

Pros

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.

Cons

None, the software does what i need it to do.

Pros

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.

Cons

No particular issues, other than the occasional problem which arises every now and then.

Pros

Easy to use, fast service and great value

Cons

Doesn't have all the requirements that we currently need but still a great product

Pros

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.

Cons

No real dislikes with the software. Overall I am happy with the features.

Pros

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.

Cons

The look and feel of the app is a little dated.

Pros

Access to the most common data processing for bulk mailing jobs combined with easy access to additional paid services.

Cons

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).

Pros

Once you know the steps and setting for your dedupe it's quick and easy to use.

Cons

Sometimes with new data sets it can take a bit of playing around to get your ideal settings.

Pros

It allows us to mailsort jobs. Does what it says it should.

Cons

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.

Pros

We can use MatchIT for all of our clients regardless of which postal provider they choose.

Cons

Initially it was quite confusing to use but the IT support was fantastic and talked us through it well.

Pros

This software was straightforward to use, and did everything that I hoped it would.

Cons

The support wasn't quite as helpful as I'd hoped.
