The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Data Quality Platforms, Q4 2010

In Forrester's 124-criteria evaluation of enterprise data quality platform vendors, we found that Informatica and DataFlux led the pack in part because of the breadth and depth of those products' functional capabilities, including strong support for real-time data quality services, data quality monitoring, and stewardship capabilities, but even more so on the quality of the experience shared by their customers. Harte-Hanks Trillium Software — a Leader with best-in-class data profiling, robust data cleansing, standardization, and matching capabilities — also had positive feedback from its customers. SAP BusinessObjects, IBM, and Pitney Bowes Business Insight (PBBI) are Strong Performers, offering compelling data quality and data profiling solutions with specific strengths that will make them attractive considerations for many large enterprises.
