Using Sifflet as Analytics Engineer after several month
What do you like best about the product?
The UI and UX are pleasant to use.
There are good integrations to work with different data stacks.
The tool is responsive.
There are wide configurations for monitors and what data quality checks we want to keep track of.
The ability of the company to iterate quite rapidly to implement or improve features.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say I do not love the following, but as we don't see the need to use them, I feel the data catalog and glossary are tools that are probably nice to have for some team, but in our case is completly useless.
I do like the slack integration however I'm waiting for big improvements (templating and shape, to get more dense/lighter messages) on how the alerts are sent and hoping for auto-resolve.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This provides continuous alerts on data anomalies, with more or less granular configurations if required.
Configuration of these monitors is relatively straightforward, through an interface that non-developers can understand.
The results are interactive and graphically explicit enough to give a better picture of the problem encountered, and can be easily shared with other users.

Sifflet for BigQuery Cataloguing
What do you like best about the product?
It allows an easy integration with BigQuery.
Data Lineage is very useful to identify the different steps that made a table.
Monitors are useful to detect anomalies,
Sifflet helped us intercept early data issues and understand impact faster. Less noise, quicker triage.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not possible to limit scraping to some tables within a GCP dataset
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation in cataloguing data and monitoring.
Excellent Data Quality Took
What do you like best about the product?
Sifflet is a great tool that helps us keep tabs on our Data Assets efficiently. After implementing the tool into our Infrastructure, we've been able to keep spot issues quickly and fix them immediately. We've seen a steady decline in end user complaints about missing or errornous data. With the excellent tool, the team behind it has also been nothing short of supportive and patient with any queries or questions we have.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I see is that with the tool being quite fresh, a lot of changes stops the user from familiarising themselves with the product. But these changes make the product better in the long run...so not really a downside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Spotting Issues in the Data Pipeline before it's visible by the Data End user
- Ensuring certain calculated metrics are propagated similarly along different branches in the pipeline

Intuitive data observability platform suitable across a business
What do you like best about the product?
- Intituitive to use
- Very quick to implement new requested features
- Works seamlessly with a variety of different technologies
- Quick support via Slack with issues remedied quickly

What do you dislike about the product?
Needs more flexibility when it comes to building rules as per monitoring - more language support and greater customisation in terms of what can be outputted. Would also be useful to have a hierarichal access to rules allowing for rules to be specific for certain parts of the business
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows for rules to be applied on tables within Snowflake enabling the wider team be notified of any data quality checks. This saves a significant amount of time.
Game changing for Cross Tool Visibility
What do you like best about the product?
The capability to take a resource and trace its lineage back to raw resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
N/A - At the moment don't have any disklies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing time to RCA for debgugging. This reduces platforom downtime/increases platform uptime.
Simplified Data Management with Sifflet
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of integrating Sifflet into our pipeline. The new features are quite regular, and I really appreciate being listened to as a client regarding our feature needs. The initial installation was very simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
At our level of use, I see a possible improvement which would be to be able to interact with Sifflet directly via Slack commands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sifflet helps me to transmit the knowledge of data assets through the data catalog and the business glossary, which is a significant gain. It facilitates monitoring with daily alerts. The Sifflet team has thought of many use cases and allows for the creation of monitors in a fairly massive/automatic way for standard tests, and to perform much more customized tests via SQL (or via AI assistant). The ML-based monitors are also very useful.
Very useful tool for Data Management
What do you like best about the product?
We have worked with Sifflet for around 2 years now. That includes many teams from acorss our organization that work with data, or use data to make decisions.
Issues are identified sooner from an Engineers perspective, we can proactively catch them and avoid awkward conversations with Stake Holders.
The Customer Support is another massive benefit of working with this company, they offer great indibidualistic approach, quick responses/support. And are always looking to improve their product based on feedback. It's refershing after many companies do the exact opposite.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lineage Tracking can become quite confusing at time, especiall with complicated architecture in Data Warehouses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping completely track lineage across many data assets. The automated monitoring and slack messages are also great help and speed error catching.
Sifflet is a game changer for data observability!
What do you like best about the product?
For me, the ease at which I can monitor my data freshness, quality and lineage is the game changer. The seamless integration with other technologies in our data analytics stack, especially dbt and Bigquery, makes it a useful addition to building a modern data stack in my company. It's also been really useful for our stakeholders to easily and quickly find their data assets and business terminologies and definitions.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the purpose for which Sifflet was made, I'm yet to see a downside.

A powerful data monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
Sifflet is a powerful data observability platform that lets you set up alerts on your data with just a few clicks. We implemented it a few months ago in our company and have been using it every day since.
We can set up an infinite number of different monitors, forecasting the values of our data tables, customizable SQL monitors, ... and it's all very intuitive.
It's very easy to integrate Sifflet into Tableau dashboards. This lets us know, for example, if the graphs we're looking at haven't been updated as expected.
It's also very useful to be notified directly on slack or by e-mail in the event of an alert, rather than having to connect to the platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Sifflet platform is still relatively young. As a result, there may occasionally be minor bugs. The Whistle team is very reactive to correct these bugs. These little bugs are really just a detail, and I've never encountered the slightest problem when setting up a monitor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sifflet to set up slack alerts in case of bad synchronization of our data and also to check some key metrics (alerts if this KPI goes below a certain threshold, alerts if a certain value doesn't behave as expected by machine learning, ...).
