Invaluable tool and exceptional customer support
What do you like best about the product?
Monte Carlo is a gamechanger for our company and invaluable for our mission to improve data quality. The built in anomaly detection monitors are super helpful, and the custom monitors are perfect for alerting us to issues that are particular to our data sets. We rely heavily on the data lineage and impact radius analysis to figure out where data is coming from, going to and who is using it. I can't imagine running a data team without this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Monte Carlo is very close to having a fully functional data catalog that would obviate the need for another tool. I'd love to see that feature fully fleshed out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monte Carlo is a key part of our data certification and governance program. We can't have confidence in our reports if we don't know about underlying data issues. Monte Carlo gives us deep insight into data quality, data anomalies and changes in the data that would otherwise take the team a long time to find, or worst case, our stakeholders discover when looking at a report.

Monte Carlo enables a quick start and deep insights into Data Reliability
What do you like best about the product?
Monte Carlo delivers a 'low water mark' in Data Reliability with little time investment. We are up to speed across our main BigQuery datasets in a matter of weeks and have enhanced our Incident Management and Root Cause Analysis abilities considerably. Monte Carlo is also well liked by the Engineers as it enables a high degree of automation
What do you dislike about the product?
We can limit which datasets are scanned - and their associated license cost - at the GCP Project and Dataset level, but ideally we'd like to be able to set this at the individual table level.
Not really a dislike, butwe would like support for Kafka streams as that would enable Observability even closer to the source.

We currently have a fragmented approach to Data Quality testing across the Organisation. Teams are responsible for their own quality, and those that do create monitoring do so using different platforms and tools and rarely publish metrics consistently. We are beginning to roll out Monte Carlo across all our Data Teams. Monte Carlo delivers a high degree of consistency across the organisation enabling us to get a pitcure of overall reliability and generate some metrics that will allow us to set targets to improve quality across our entire data estate.
In addition - and not initially a driver - Monte Carlo helps us with its incident management, ensuring that issues are owned and categorised effectively.
And a further benefit of Monte Carlo are the Insights into the tables its scanning - we've already identified objects that we didn't think were important, but are referenced multiple times in pipelines and the usage reports have helped us prune unused tables
I should also call out both Monte Carlo's pre-sales/ Proof of Concept support and Customer Onboarding - both of which have been excellent. Their customer onboarding in particular is probably the best I've encountered.
Monte Carlo is not cheap, but is worth the money!

The most essential piece of our Data Quality Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I'm able to not only receive notifications but generate reporting metrics that describe the state of data processes without manual work.
What do you dislike about the product?
For tables that are updated in a non-deterministic way, it's hard to configure alerting properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We catch issues that we would not have known about
We can quickly troubleshoot root causes in data sets
We can report to the business on the state of our data processes honestly and accurately

Monte Carlo is a powerful platform for data discovery, lineage, and quality management.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the built-in monitors and alerts. It is beneficial that many built-in monitors, like freshness and volume, don't require configuration. The Machine learning ability of the tool does an excellent job of learning the cadence and size of the data with no effort required. Monte Carlo offers an extensible and flexible set of tools to customize alerts for data quality.
The data lineage features of Monte Carlo are impressive and easy to use. Being able to trace data from S3 storage to Tableau is powerful.
Integrating with DBT makes finding data easier for our product teams. They don't need to be experts on the data to discover what they need.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is so much that Monte Carlo has to offer that the UI can be intimidating. Some additional handholding, tooltips, or other visual cues could be helpful to someone who is less technically included or doesn't have time to read the documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monte Carlo continually monitors our data warehouse to identify data anomalies. This tool has allowed my small team to scale across many data pipelines. Data Operations, Engineers, and stakeholders know when there are issues with the data.
Monte Carlo- A+ tool for Data Observability
What do you like best about the product?
1. We can pick any monitor from Monte Carlo's list based on our requirements and set up notifications from various channels such as Slack/Teams or emails.
2. Out-of-the-box features that detect schema changes and data volume is fantastic.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike the product so far, but there are cases when people might get false negative alerts if you don't set up the notifications properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monte Carlo is helping us to solve the biggest problem of reducing data downtime by alerting various teams who owns the data pipeline.
Robust platform for managing Data Observability and Quality needs
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool for monitoring Data Quality of new as well as already existing tables. Love the continuous addition of new features which further enable end to end Data Quality checks!
What do you dislike about the product?
At some time in future it would be great to have a feature which would enable Data Quality checks across ETL workflows i.e. to validate if data from source is loaded as expected in the target.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monte Carlo alerts whenever data looks like it is not in the expected shape or format which then allows to fix the issues before they impact end users of the data.
