What do you like best about Cinchy?

One of the best things about Cinchy is its ability to simplify data integration and management. With Cinchy, you can easily connect disparate data sources and manage data relationships without complex coding or manual data entry. It shifts dependency away from IT and Development teams, putting data ownership in the hands of business users and 'citizen developers' while maintaining centralized governance and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinchy?

The platform itself is 'Cinchy' to use. However, it is a self-hosted application, and the installation process is rather complex. The existing documentation is well done, but it assumes a very high level of technical knowledge and some advanced features aren't fully explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinchy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cinchy has helped to bridge the gap while we migrate and modernize our legacy systems. Cinchy makes an excellent back-end for applications, and we run several key operational workflows from it, including rental contracts and warehouse management. It centralizes and transforms our product data, ready for syndication to e-commerce and marketplace channels, using integration and sync capabilities. Cinchy does several things well; we're glad to have it in our toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cinchy?

Data and information association is one of its most significant features to be used, which helps you to connect with other organizations and their employees/customers. The platform analyzes all the data and visualizes in the network format so users can see it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinchy?

When importing new data or unknown new files in it, the processing speed of this software gets slower. When setting it up for the first time on any system, it is quite irritating as it goes under so many security setups that require a lot of permissions on your device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinchy solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Cinchy?

Cinchy is dataware that gives you back control over your data by freeing your applications from the complexities of storing, connecting and protecting data. The core platform does all that for you. Applications become thin skins on top of all that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinchy?

Hard to determine exactly what it is that Cinchy does without a LOT of reading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cinchy:

Use Cinchy on the very next capability build project and you'll be sold. Don't get caught up with the idea that you have to make a complete architecture change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinchy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cinchy's autonomous data model enables me to extend my schema without breaking all of my apps. My apps are simply developed skins on top of my data. I can much more quickly create apps (visual reprentations of my data - like KPIs) than any other method I've seen (even the best low-code frameworks). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cinchy?

CINCHY's ease of use. The application is very easy to navigate, use and manage. The features are so vast, with continuous improvements and updates, which makes it a leading application to use in any organisation. It integrates well into other applications/systems, easy to embedd into new and existing business process and overall best-in-class for collaboration.

CINCHY can be used as the 'central fabric' of your data management hub, where you can begin to dyamically interact with your data in real time, cut, paste, slice and dice then share with other stakeholders. This means it can easily solve issues around entity relationships, hierarchy structures, master data managment and managing data governance workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinchy?

Easy access to useful knowledge hints and article (CINCHY manual of academy), would be nice to have. Also having suggestive prompts with regards to how to better use a function would be great. It increases overall interactivity on the platform.

'Clear moduling' - it would be nice to creare a clear delineation for business user functions and technology user functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cinchy:

Worth considering. CINCHY makes the art if the impossible...possible. Will reduce uncessary project timelines required for coding, setup and configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinchy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Opening up data within siloed or 'closed' systems and applications to users - mostly non-IT users. Allowing stakeholders/business users to actually manage their own data, set up controls and governance etc. The benefits is that CINCHY allows for value to be immediately realised, through the genius engineering, you can set up connections to databases quicky, faster and more efficiently, whilst you have a well designed UI to help manage your data effectively.

Also gives the ability to create a one stop solution for business needs around data, e.g a central landing page for accessing reports, data glossaries, updates and notifications on data changes and even user managed reference data tables that can be hosted by creator and shared with select user groups.

What do you like best about Cinchy?

The Cinchy Platform helped us transition to becoming a more data enabled organization. In partifular it helped us:

-Consolidate siloed data from different applications into one central location

-Enabled us to build sophisticated reports and dashboards to help support better decision making

-Helped to speed up the time of integration between different applications and tables

Ultimately we were able to remove our pain points with respect to data. Primarily, we reduced the time to create reports and dashbaords from a minimum of 4 weeks to 1-2 business days. We finally had access to data in one central location for the entire business to ensure that we were reporting on one data set - improving our overall consistency from a reporting perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinchy?

Because of our organization's security standards, it took some time to implement cinchy in our AWS environment. Also it took us time to open up ports and IP addresses so that CInchy could access our databases and servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cinchy:

If you are interested in saving time and money when considering data warehousing solutions prioritize Cinchy. The investment that you make in data will accelerate your growth and pay dividends long-term. Cinchy is the ultimate data fabric technology in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinchy solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we initially started in our data journey there were a variety of problems that we had. In particular, we had no central storage for all of our data. Data was siloed in a variety of applications and warehouses and it was impossible to report on data from different sources/warehosues. Cinchy provided us the ability to aggreagate that data in one location, and then leverage the data to create reports and dashboards. We had a huge business need to create reports and dashboards, but through our old process that took approximately 4 weeks to execute on - many times months. With Cinchy we were able to move faster and execute in 1-2 business days.

Ultimatley by being able to carry out analysis faster we are able to target growth in our top line and increased profitability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cinchy?

- Cut the amount of development time required by at least 3x

- Very easy to make connections and relationships between data, and explore through the data

- Clearly control data access, allowing fine-grained control

- Auto-generated endpoints for queries

- User management and authentication out of the box

- Run custom javascript for any needs that might not be met by the core

- Automating interactions between tables

- Easy to deploy in the cloud or on-premise Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinchy?

- Some great features are a little hard to find at first, but the Cinchy Team is actively improving all of this

- Out of the box Auth could be improved by making password reset easier.

- Not much else Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cinchy:

This will save you a great deal of time. Something that would need at least 5 developers collaborating on database, backend, and front end. With Cinchy this would only need 1 or 2 developers.

Read through the documentation in detail. There are many amazing features that you will discover there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinchy solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Developing a platform to manage a Venture Capital Firm's portfolio

- Significant reduction in time spent on gathering reports

- Much easier access to gathered data, standardization

- Made data collaboration real-time, rather than a once a quarter occurrence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cinchy?

Cinchy has a very dynamic team that puts in all efforts to meet customer expectations by providing innovative solutions.

This current and dynamic platform brings a new way to manage data with an intuitive, flexible, and modern solution. Cinchy offers innovative native features to facilitate data management processes. Robust and iterative, the structure of data and metadata allows for great latitude.

Our entire data architecture is centered around Cinchy: the solution is used as a data hub, MDM, and also as an application for managing our data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cinchy?

Cinchy is a very young solution and, as such, still requires developments to reach its full maturity. The solution is very modular: its use must follow a strict framework to avoid misuse and result in "chaos." It is therefore important to be accompanied by Cinchy experts to use the full potential of the platform's features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cinchy solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Cinchy platform allowed us in a few days to offer a matching solution to identify our customers in relation to an external reference source.

Cinchy also enabled easy data collection from Excel files to then be utilized through dashboards.

Finally, Cinchy will serve as the cornerstone for the corporate definition of our Client 360. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
