Streamlined Data Warehousing
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Coalesce for simplifying the development process by modularizing code into reusable standard and custom node types, which enforces consistency and reduces development time. I like the combination of simplicity and flexibility, as I can quickly start building nodes and prototyping, while also having the flexibility of custom node types for complex use cases. The standard prebuilt node types are easy to use and applicable to a majority of data warehousing use cases without needing much configuration. I find it pretty easy to set up Coalesce - all I need is a simple connection to Snowflake and Git, and I can start working quickly. The documentation makes these configurations easy to follow.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the future it would be great to have additional options and capabilities to work side by side with data modeling tools. For example, being able to use the data modeling tool to create the logical and physical data model, and allowing Coalesce to easily work within the data model that is deployed to Snowflake from the modeling tool rather than having to recreate the facts, dims, etc. directly in Coalesce.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coalesce simplifies my development process by modularizing code into reusable node types, ensuring consistency and reducing development time.
Bulk Editing and Modular Pipelines Make Building Workflows a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
I like the bulk editing abilities the most. A close second is the modular feel when building pipelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of online courses for features. There are webinars and quickstart guides but sometimes i just need a specific deep dive on node types when I'm building it from scratch for the first time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves generating code when building out entire data warehouses. I have so many features to pick from for just about any use case I have.
Coalesce Supercharges Data Warehousing with No‑Code Speed and Best Practices
What do you like best about the product?
I've worked with most major data transformation tools over the last 15 years, and Coalesce is hands-down my favorite among them all. We're able to deliver faster data integration, quality, and warehouse projects internally and for our clients because of Coalesce's no-code / low-code interface. What previously would take several data engineers now can be delivered with 1 or 2, and in less time.
Coalesce writes complex transformations for you and with proper best practices, allowing you to stand up an integrated data warehouse in significantly less time. The lineage feature makes it easy to troubleshoot errors and trace the root cause. The ability to propagate columns changes to downstream transformations with a few clicks saves hours of time per task. Using the software development best practices makes deployment fast and reliable. Onboarding new team members is very efficient - if they know SQL and understand data pipelines, then Coalesce is the most effective tool to quickly bring new team members up-to-speed.
It's also flexible enough to easily migrate from other platforms because you can easily drop your code into their AI engine and it will create the transformations for you. Whether it's a new project or moving away from an existing technology, you can implement fast and efficiently.
On top of the tools amazing features, the sales and support team members are the most responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful compared to any other software vendor I've ever worked with.
Lastly, they continue to add new features based on real feedback from customers to ensure we're always getting the best value for our money. Coalesce is easily one of my favorite products.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can't think of any. If we ever have a question or feature request, they're always very helpful in pointing us in the right direction or transparant on when it will be released.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coalesce is the backbone for data transformations, data quality, and governance within our Snowflake environment in support of our data products. It also is our go-to tool for deploying strategic data warehouses and data products for our clients in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. It allows us to deliver projects faster, which means keeping overall costs down while also delivering high-quality data to help run our business and our clients' businesses more effectively. At a time when budgets are constantly being scrutinized, Coalesce is one of the tools that continues to stand out because teams are able to articulate and show the value it brings to them, ultimately helping teams cut costs and deliver better quality data to their end users in less time.
Innovative and Agile Product Accelerating Data Activation
What do you like best about the product?
Coalesce is an easy to use platform that stays lock step with Snowflake so I'm always able to leverage the latest functionality of Snowflake within my production ready pipelines. There is an active package library that allows me to extend the base functionality of the platform to address more custom use cases and initiatives. Coalesce lowers the barrier of entry for new users accelerating how quickly engineers can ensure data products are ready for consumption. They have excellent customer service and proven results that show they are listening to their users. It has been a pivotal decision for our Snowflake journey that has become foundational in our success.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is greatly enhanced through the use of Coalesce catalog but the editor lacks some level of customization found in other platforms. Package updates are frequent, but the effort to make mass adjustments through a large DAG remains cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coalesce accelerates how quickly we are moving and transforming data within Snowflake while Catalog is tightly integrated and ensures our stewards are front and center to keep consumers informed of data products. The catalog AI chat bot has been excellent in adding additional transparency to data processes for power users, auditing, and exploration.
Gamechanger for pipeline development
What do you like best about the product?
Fastest development tool I have used
Auto documentation
After a pipeline is developed it just keeps going
Native integration of snowflake tools
Nodes are just getting started
Largely plug and play ie very easy to get going

What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't have Coalesce 4 or 5 years ago ;-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform enables visual development while providing full access to the generated code. It also seamlessly incorporates a wide range of best practices into our workflow. From our experience, we are now able to scale much more significantly while maintaining excellent control over our pipelines.
Has been a game changer for our team.
What do you like best about the product?
We have a broad level of experience on our team, from new-grad to decades of experience. Both are able to use Coalesce in the way they see fit, and Coalesce meets them where they're at....whether it's through the UI or bringing your own code. The support team has been fantastic, and they're constantly adding features to make things more efficient for their end users. Coalesce is also very competitive price-wise with other tools in the same class.
What do you dislike about the product?
The online community documentation is still growing, but rapidly catching up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coalesce helps us keep everything well organized, builds great lineage and allows for unit testing on your most sensitive data sets.
The best data transformation tool to scale
What do you like best about the product?
Coalesce IMO is the best transformation tool in the market. Before selecting them, I did extensive research of the other tools in the space. Some feature that stood out were bulk edit, custom node types, data lineage, rapid deployment and so many more. The people at this company are also wonderful to work with. Integration with snowflake can be achieved within minutes. The ease of use, yet ability to build complex logic makes this stand out.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are working on an orchestration tool and their data lineage could use a few minor enhancements (which I think are on the roadmap)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On Security, Coalesce and Snowflake authenticate with Snowflake oAuth, which is the highest option available. Coalesce is snowflake native so it supports all features when they are released.
Data engineering force multiplier
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to build data assets. The robust documentation that is automatically prepared for you as you build. The ability to deploy and host scheduled jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like a pause button for my jobs when I'm developing just so they don't run
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us built all necessary data transformations as well as deploying those procedures in all of our environments that exist within our data warehouse
Really helps speed up the development of pipelines!
What do you like best about the product?
Combines the best of both worlds with an intuitive UI driven workflow, and the flexibility of a code driven approach. Support is top notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I think the only downside that I can think of is that Coalesce.io isn't as mature as some other options, which means that there may not be an option to integrate with other tooling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coalesce.io is at the heart of our data platform, and really helps our small data team manage our warehouse. It allows us to do everything faster, and pushes our standards for quality higher.
Coalesce has been a data transformation savior!
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very user friendly. Coalesce has pushed many updates since we have onboarded and the quality of life improvement's have been greatly welcomed! The flexibility of Coalesce has helped us move over 100GB of data models from our BI tool into Snowflake in just 6 months with only two data engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
To date I have nothing I dislike about Coalesce. My only complaint or request would be a built in job monitor. In order to be notified if a job fails via email etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have only 2 data engineers. We were tasked to move over 100GB worth of data models over to snowflake. Coalesce allowed us to hit our deadline of 6 months. This would have never been possible without Coalesce. We had to move this data while also handling daily business needs. Coalesce allowed us to be flexible and handle these daily needs while also building out over 100GB worth of data models in a short 6 month window. This was a massive win for us as a company as we only had 2 individuals working to get this over the finish line. Without Coalesce this simply would not have been possible to hit our target deadline.
