The Data Quality Landscape – Q1 2015 from Information Difference has recently been published.

Stack vs Best-of-Breed

The report highlights a key battleground- that between focused data quality vendors, that provide best-of-breed data quality capability, and so-called stack vendors that position data quality as a minor focus within a broader data management stack [Tweet this]

Stack vendors argue that a stack approach reduces integration challenges while best-of-breed vendors argue that their solutions produce better data quality.

Specialists still come out on top

The report seems to show that the best-of-breed vendors win on functionality – with our partner, Precisely, edging out the competition based on a combination of both functionality and market presence.
