DQE One Unify vs Melissa Data Quality

DQE One Unify identifies, merges, and helps prevent duplicate contacts and accounts across customer databases. Duplicate handles existing records in bulk, while Look-Up checks for an existing contact before a new record is created. Processing can be batch or real time, and the engine can run on company platforms or AWS, Azure, GCP, and Heroku. A SaaS option hosts curative processing in DQE’s cloud. For deployments in a customer’s environment, DQE says information is processed there and does not leave the customer’s IT system. The Data Stewardship interface is available in Salesforce through AppExchange, and API access is supported. A free 30-day trial is available, with limits of 200,000 database records, the first 20 duplicate groups in visualization, and the first 20 records for standardization. DQE describes the product for technical, sales, and marketing departments, including projects involving tens of millions of records. Pricing is on request.
