Every report I have heard on this indicated that it was a disaster. It
failed to find similarities that existed and found similarities that did
not exist;; some input tables were corrupted after exposure to this tool.
I strongly recommend hiring a database professional to develop a custom
import/cleanup application for your needs.
Hope this helps!
