No incentive was offered We want to make sure data changes are implemented correctly prior to releasing code into production. This tool allows us to catch a lot of issues prior to prod release. It is a must have for any data shop that deals with large data transformations. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros My department validates data across different platforms supporting Data Warehouse, ODS and Data Lakes. We release changes weekly into production. This tool allows me to work with large datasets across many different RDBMS (Oracle, SqlServer, etc), plus Hadoop/Hive. The look and feel of the interface is easy, testers can setup validation rules very quickly. #### Cons Code repository for the rules/scripts. It would be nice to know which tester modified the rules last, and ability to version control them. #### Reasons for choosing iceDQ Integration with ALM, simplicity of the user interface #### Vendor response Thanks for the review Kirill! Replied April 2020 --- ### UAT is much more accurate now - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sandy R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I was using SQL queries and excel before iCEDQ. This tool was easy to install & learn and my UAT is so much more accurate. I can compare entire tables now instead of just a subset. Being able to use scripting or set up complex expressions is also a plus. I have regression packs that run daily & monthly that are triggered by UC4 scheduling so I can see any issue with the data first thing in the morning and alert the business users. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Compare large amounts of data quickly Compare data across multiple databases & servers Can create complex rules using scripting Easy to learn & use Rules can be triggered by our UC4 scheduling software Updates to the software are quick & easy Results are easy to understand Support is quick to respond and super helpful #### Cons More examples or explanations of the features in the support documentation. Sometimes I want to learn more about an option or how to use something and the documentation shows an example or how to set something up, but doesn't explain why. A quick email to support resolves my questions though. #### Reasons for choosing iceDQ Was easy to understand and it would compare databases across different servers. --- ### Essential tool to improve data monitoring and test script reusability - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Wes D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered iCEDQ, and the Torana Inc. organization, has elevated our ability to quickly and confidently enact data monitoring on the company's KPIs, as well as day-to-day ETL workflows. We've been able to stand up hundreds of monitoring rules, often quickly and efficiently recycling scripts used in UAT over to Production. This functionality has significantly improved reusability of costly (resource hours) test scripts, as well as provided a centralized repository for storage. Prior to iCEDQ we were tediously building ETL workflows, inserting records into permanent table structures, and building data visualization reports on top of said tables. It was resource intensive, challenging to maintain, and overall scalability was poor. I've been involved from the onset of product identification and implementation of iCEDQ. Torana has been highly communicative and easy to work with since day one. Their ongoing customer support, when a technical question or issue arises, is always prompt and thorough. I would highly recommend consideration of iCEDQ for your data monitoring & data testing needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Simple, intuitive interface. Easy to learn the basics. Initial implementation is fairly standardized -- mostly need to iron out process. Batch execution is a big plus. Ability to toggle between database connections is straightforward and saves time. Option to ignore rule failures under a certain threshold a BIG improvement. #### Cons Learning the Groovy language may create challenges when writing logical expressions for evaluation. Reporting / visualization of rule execution results has improved significantly since initial adoption, but has room to grow. #### Vendor response Thanks for the review Wes!

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros ICEDQ software is a great data testing automation tool which helped us in automating the comparison of data for both homogeneous and heterogeneous sources containing billions of rows for 100% test coverage. We use almost all relational databases and most importantly SAS for which we do not have proper automation framework before using ICEDQ. But with the support of all connectors for relational database and SAS dataset, we were able to complete our project milestones efficiently with high quality.Efficient mismatch report helped business and development team in debugging issues faster. Also, most importantly, customer support is always good. Initial implementation and adoption is very quick and the customer support team always resolved all our critical issues on time. #### Cons SAS support - Currently this tool supports SAS files from a network drive location. User had to create multiple connections for each location. We would like to see this tool has support for SAS JDBC/ODBC. Other than that no major issues. Again, customer support always good and provide alternative solutions #### Vendor response Thanks for the review Siva!

It was good, we had millios of records to be compared between different kind of databases - Oracle against Mainframe and it would have been impossible to do this manually. Overall , a very good product which eases the work, reduces manual labour and saves money by avoiding future prod bugs that could potentially arise. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Integration was easy.
