Serious about Data Quality
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboards- there is a limit of a certain number of tables. This should be increased
Ability to change WH sizes easily
Better notification strategy

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It monitors the daily runs of tables, freshness, volumes etc. If any changes are made, they are quickly detected. This enables us to keep up the accuracy and maintain good quality data assets
Monte Carlo has helped us to monitor and resolve issues before our stakeholders.
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.

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.
Quick improvements and good support, but still many bugs
What do you like best about the product?
It's improving fast, adding useful features, turning the UI, monitors and settings more intuitive and with a good support. It's now easy enough for a self-serve across the company
It's widely used
It's widely used
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a self-service of the tool across the company and we need to more easily detect expensive and useless monitors. There are a few discrepancies between insight reports, the UI and the daily digests.
We recently had an important incident that took 10 days to be solved and affected some relevant monitors
It's not intuitive at all the creation of built-in monitors (freshness, volume anomalies, schema changes)... it requires a completely different path than the custom monitors

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a data engineer, we mostly use the freshness and volume anomalies monitors. Also, we have some SQL rules to monitor specific data quality checks
Monte Carlo is awesome
What do you like best about the product?
Automatic data anomaly detection.
Data Lineage.
Excellent customer support.

Excellent customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Automatic data anomaly detection can be noisy when many issues are happening at the same time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that Monte Carlo solve for us is its Data Lineage feature which helped us tracked down data depedencies.
We also use the custom monitor to detect specific data issues.

Monte Carlo review
What do you like best about the product?
Monte Carlo has been easy to use and integrate with our notifications systems. The tool itself has ease of use functionatlity and was relatively simple to pick up the nuances of the system to collect the data needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had some data download issues where the data does not pull over more than a certain number of line items in a single report. This may be a connection issue withour side of the system but does make a need for pulling additional dat beyond simply downloading directly from Monte Carlo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None to speak of currently. My team is newer to using the system.

What do you like best about the product?
Custom SQL monitors to design the specific rule for our use cases and CRON scheduler for monitors
What do you dislike about the product?
Its hard to view who solved which alerts in the dashboard
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
its helping us find data discrepencies before they turn into bottleneck situations at critical dates
