Intuitive & Reliable

  • August 04, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is intuitive and has saved us a tremendous amount of time on tedious tasks. What I particularly appreciate is how fast-moving the team behind Monte Carlo is. They are constantly rolling out updates and improvements, ensuring that the tool stays ahead of the curve. It’s clear they listen to user feedback and are dedicated to making the product even better. Monte Carlo has not only made our data more reliable and transparent but has also freed up our team to focus on more strategic tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion, Monte Carlo is an excellent tool overall, but one aspect that I find frustrating is the way certain features are packaged. Some functionalities that seem like they should be part of the standard offering are only available at higher pricing tiers. This can be a bit disappointing, especially when these features are essential for fully leveraging the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monte Carlo helps identify and resolve data quality issues quickly, ensuring reliable data for analysis and decision making.

Great automated monitoring with room for improvement in custom monitors and documentation

  • August 02, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Monte Carlo automated monitors are really useful for monitoring a large number of tables and capturing the most crucial types of errors (volume, freshness and schema changes). Having this in our company makes it really handy to detect main anomalies.

Addtionally having the possibility of configuring monitors using the UI or via API are very useful for the different stages of development.

Customer support is also great and have a great understanding about data modelling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Custom Monitors are still a funcionality to be improved in Monte Carlo, overtime you see new features being released and more customisation in the tool. I would appreciate a more detailed documentation about monitor configuration using better examples, different use cases and explaning important concepts like lookback days, run history and results page as well as best pratices on table structure and freshness to take the most out of the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring, anomaly detection and alerts on many tables being processed in a daily basis

Taking Data Observability to the next level with Monte Carlo!

  • August 02, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Monte Carlo listens to their customers and is constantly adding new features to meet customer’s needs. It is a true partnership.

New features such as Notifications, Audiences, SQL rules, Tags, and Parameterized Values have allowed us to surface data issues directly to business stakeholders through Monte Carlo’s strong integration with Slack. The end result is improvements in data ownership and data quality.

Monte Carlo is a thought leader in the Data Observability space. They’ve championed metrics such as “data downtime” which is a standard we’re using to measure our success with data quality, trust and reliability.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the navigation to be difficult at times. As a result, I’m often clicking around to find functionality such as reporting or lineage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The goal is to catch data quality issues before our key stakeholders do. This is the exact problem Monte Carlo is solving for us. Monte Carlo allows us to get out in front of data issues.

Serious about Data Quality

  • August 01, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Monte Carlo's data obsevibility, especially the freshness and volume monitors, as these are our early warning systems for data issues. Combined with these are the anomoly detection and automated alerts which makes this an awesome data quality tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
No built-in functionality for automated promotion of monitors between different environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In lower environments early indications on volume and freshness, as well as data anomolies help resolve data issues during develop phases. These benefit the organization as it assists in detecting issues in data early in the development life cycle. In the production environment volume, freshness as well as the validation monitors assist in detecting any data quality issues, with the automated alerts. This allows for early detection of data issues before business becomes aware of it, making the data quality management an pro-active early warning system, which allows for the data stewards to pro-actively react to such issues.

Monte Carlo has helped us to monitor and resolve issues before our stakeholders.

  • August 01, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Monte Carlo is the more you use it the more you get out of it. Training the models was definitely noisy at first, but once you give consistent feedback, the noise is much more manageable. For noisier alerts there is the event rollup feature. The UI is userfriendly as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Monte Carlo is continuing to work on their customization. For example working with their API is a bit clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monte Carlo is helping us to ensure that our data is accurate, up to date, and if our data quality slips, we get notified first. Monte Carlo monitors multiple stages in our pipeline to help us debug efficiently and point us to the best starting point for investigation.

Powerful Data Observability platform with an amazing support team!

  • July 31, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
* Extensive functionality to monitor the health of your data.
* Very good support team
* Everything you need for data observability
* Integrates with dbt.
* Very user friendly and good looking interface.
* Machine learning is used to learn the parameters of the monitors for your tables. (eg when a table is expected to be refreshed).
What do you dislike about the product?
* The possible API calls are limited. Specifically we are not able to set asset owners with API calls and we need a workaround.
* The performance dashboards could be improved. Often the same query is listed as multiple entries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building our capabilities to observe the health of our systems. We are especially interested in the combination of issues and lineage, which help us identify the downstream dependencies that must be altered or at least made aware of upstream issues.
