Excellent comprehensive data observability tool
What do you like best about the product?
Default monitors learn the patterns of our data and alert us to when something looks unusual. This has alerted us to many data quality and pipeline issues that we otherwise might have missed if we were to only set up manual monitors and tests. It is quite plug and play out of the box but also allows fine-grained control of custom monitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI isn't the easiest to navigate and there is limited customisability.
Managing users, domains, audiences, and alerts has a learning curve and although this has been improved recently, it could still be more intuitive.
