When it was first presented to me I was a little bit suspicious of the quality we would receive from a free product, but I have been blown away by how it just works universally - other expensive address standardization tools often have issues with at least a few addresses in our datasets, but we have yet to find an address that Placekey can’t handle. > > We acquire address datasets from different providers and try and combine them into a single dataset. The major issue we have with this process is that addresses are often either redundant or formatted differently. By just appending Placekeys to our datasets we solve both of these issues with ease. ----- ### "Makes validating customer provided addresses extremely simple\!" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *11 May 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Placekey allows us to easily check customer-entered addresses against our larger databases - even if the custoemr doesn't type in the same address we have in our records. > > **Cons**: No real complaints. On occasion, it takes time to process a high number of request, but it's still fast and efficient enough to us. And it's free, so definitely worth it\! > > Customers sometimes format their addresses differently than our database does, so Placekey helps us validate the two datasets despite the existing formatting differences. ----- ### "Free Address Standardization" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 May 2021* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Placekey does a good job supporting its users through indepth, documentation and through support from their community. It is extremely easy to get in touch with a representative to assist with technical issues, as a result, we were able to get our API integration up and running well ahead of schedule. > > **Cons**: Really can't think of anything I "dislike". We have had issues with address verification providers not covering some of the addresses in our databases - but Placekey doesn't have this problem at all. > > Placekey is great because the key system fixes the issues with our raw address data and makes finding redundant entries, previously a challenging and time-consuming task, very easy. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1012136/placekey) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
