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.

data governance
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, ...).

What do you dislike about the product?
While Sifflet offers a plethora of advantages, one area that could see improvement is the user interface, which can be a bit overwhelming for new users due to the depth of features offered. A more intuitive design or enhanced onboarding could help new users better navigate and leverage the platform's full capabilities from day one.

Data quality game changer
What do you like best about the product?
It's been 6 months since we started using Sifflet. Multiple teams inside our company use Sifflet now. It has made us proactive in find out data issues instead of being reactive after data issue has been raised.
Sifflet is game changer, we have been able to identify issues sooner, within a day or two and take actions to resolve it, potentially saving us revenue.
One major aspect that Sifflet excels is in creating monitors that checks the discrepancy between tables.
Sifflet is helping to build more trust in our data.
In terms of ease of use - Some parts are intuitive, some parts took us some time to get used to.
And last but not least, our interaction with Sifflet has been great. They are welcoming, knowledgeable. They support us whenever we have issues/questions.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a considerable amount of effort in getting onboarded to Sifflet. We need to create monitor/s for each of table/view instead of Sifflet auto-monitoring completeness, freshness, schema changes.
At the same time, we have got overwhelmed many times with the number of alerts. We need to spend dedicated time everyday to make sure we mark the incident accordingly - False Positive, Fixed, Known Issue etc. So plan for it.
This sentence is probably limited to Bigquery and how queries are written in our company - Lineage isn't still complete. It has got better from the time we started, but still can't see all the tables in it.

Data Quality and Observabililty. We have been able to identify Data Quality issues as soon as it happens
A core component of our Data Strategy and Transformation
What do you like best about the product?
Sifflet is more than just data observability, sure that is the bread the butter. What I love is all the additional functionality such as the lineage, catalog, glossary and chrome extension. How Sifflet for me does this best is the deep interconnectivity of all these assets. I can start on place and deep dive and explore all the different elements and facets of a Data Product.
What I've found in my deployment is it has allowed different profiles of users from engineer, scientist, salesperson, marketer, journalist to better start in the area of observability/governance they are more comfortable with and learn what else is associated. It has deeply boosted our data quality and unity efforts.
We've labelled Sifflet our Data Library, because thats the powerful function it plays

What do you dislike about the product?
Not a big issue but allowing to change the default role when signing up! Users get granted the system default role when SSO logging for the first time then we re-assign once they're in
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sifflet has allowed us to better understand, identify, and solve data breakages and quality issues. We have improved our global incident management and error management by 167% within 6 working weeks.
It has also aided in the knowledge management of different data assets and their relationships. We had a huge issue of single person dependency on knowledge of data until we got this tool.

Great for companies that wants to improve their data quality monitoring and observability.
What do you like best about the product?
1) Ease of use from Day One. Most of my team members find it easy to pick it up and apply it to their work.
2) We are lucky to have good customer success support, which faciliates learning and giving feedback. They have been responsive to our needs too.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) Sifflet is still quite a new tool, and the breadth of integration is still not there yet.
2) Most of the operations still require us to work directly on the UI, but it will be good if they start allowing more API-based use-cases.
3) As we want to introduce it to other users, perhaps better user-level access controls to allow for diverse users (beyond data team) might be helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Data quality monitors can tricky to parse setting up. You need to think through what you want to achieve.
Limited ETL and BI sources but more are in the pipeline.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most warehouses end up a spaghetti mess of inter-connected tables and views. Sifflet helps you see where a problem has occured and understand the knock-on affect into other tables.
The monitors allow you to check data at the individual field level (is this value within an expected range?) to a more strategic level (is the volume of data processed in-line with average for the last x days?).
The lineage enables you to dive into an issue and understand the contagion of a problem into other tables and into reporting.

Sifflet data visualisation tool
What do you like best about the product?
Sifflet data visualisation tool helped me to manage and monitor that data. I was able to find the anomaly in the data table using the sifflet. The lineage visualisation in the sifflet was helpful to find the problems in the data table and rectify it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no major dislikes in this tool. As it's new tool there some features and functionality needs to improve and api support would be helpful for the developers.
