Data Services vs Data Insight

[Former Member]

Hello SDN Members,

I'm having difficulties understanding the differences between "Data Services" and "Data Insight".

I google it but still want to see more response about them to propose for a POC kind of work.

Read guides about both not completely satisfied.

With Data Services - you can install Data Quality and Data Integrator (they are merged within the Data Services installation - provided you have the correct keys.).

Data Insight is a seperate installation that is basically a full blown profiling tool that also works with Data Quality. The coolest thing about Data Insight are the reports you can build on top of Data Quality - namely a Truth Query. the truth query uses components of Data Quality (Mainly the Address Engine and Address dictionaries) to give you an accurate profile or 'truth' about you addresses. It can give you the number of good addresses, bad addresses, fixable addresses with Data quality, and unfixable addresses with data quality. It can also determine potential duplicate addresses as well. these statistics are EXTREMELY helpful when doing a data migration or if you merely want to cleanse your data.

If you do not have Data Insight, but you do have data quality - you can do a basic dataflow to cleanse addresses in DQ and then run the Data Quality reports within the Management console in Data Services.
