Datacoves Reviews & Product Details

The datacoves product threads a really tight window of providing a solution which is relatively easy to get set up (versus implementing these components yourself) while still offering the flexibility to customize and layer your own technical architecture on top of their dbt/airflow/airbyte implementations. The team has been very responsive and supportive on assisting us in the implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trade-off of allowing for customization is that certain aspects which are "click button" in competing tool sets (ie. CI/CD for dbt) need to be implemented through your own tooling. Although it is really a benefit because you have tighter control over the processes, it does take some time to get everything implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datacoves has accelerated our adoption of the modern data stack by providing a one stop shop of the most commonly used tools leveraged across the data and analytics industry.

The Datacoves team has been exceptional in the onboarding, consultation on best practices, customization, and providing troubleshooting assistance to our data engineering community for such a large scale adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity of integrations and introduction of a suite of tools which are new to the organization can cause delays in wider adoption.

Organizations need to ensure the engineering skillset is ready to adopt the technology stack provided by Datacoves and fully understand the capabilities and best practices to realize the maximum value that can derived from the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datacoves packages together all the tools needed to support data teams of all sizes. This isn't easy to do! If you don't use Datacoves, your options are to buy a disparate set of cloud based solutions, or hire engineering talent who can install it all on prem. Datacoves rises above both these options giving you both the advantages of the cloud and the best of open source.

The Datacoves team is immensely helpful getting everything off the ground in a fraction of the time it took me to install all this software on-prem on a prior project.

Hard to overstate how quickly Datacoves solved my infrastructure needs so I could focus on delivering business value.

Datacoves is also extremely responsive to customer questions, something you don't normally get when leveraging open source software. That's a huge hidden advantage to using their implementation of OSS instead of forging your own path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maintaining andupdating OSS tools is finnicky and can lead to extra cycles of development time getting software updated. Datacoves does an excellent job walking you through the changes, but if you haven't coded much at all before or are not comfortable with open source packages or GitHub, you will have a bit of a learning curve to overcome.

Some of the best things about working with Datacoves is they completely got what we were trying to achieve from our data solutions. For us, it was to solve the hard problem, of implementing a robust CICD solution for data warehousing and data pipelines. They had a a ready made solution (for us packaging airflow and dbt) with a nice code interface, that we could use to develop our pipelines and deploy them easily. This also allowed us to scale up a sizable team quite quickly and without the usual worries. I must say the technical expertise, quick support and response, along with some useful pointers have been invaluable to our project and it's continued success.

There's not much to dislike, we had a predifined set of requirements and we are largely meeting those objectives on our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The hardest problem in any company is the development of sound business processes that help get work done while providing guiderails to keep the process organized and well-managed. Smaller teams often do not have the capacity to develop these processes, and pay the tech debt later with interest. Datacoves distinguishes themselves from dbt by providing not just a tool, but a well-developed process for data engineering following the more established software industry best practices, with thoughtful tools to help guide developers without hindering them from their work. Working with Datacoves is like having a well-oiled data engineering team at my fingertips, being able to punch way above your weight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datacoves provides an opinionated process that fits a vast amount of use-cases but not all. We had some cases that did not fit their built-in toolchain but thanks to the flexible nature of Airflow and Python and some help from Datacoves, we were able to custom-create new processes to fit our needs.

Datacoves has simplified my organization's ELT process by providing some of the best in breed data engineering and orchestration tools in one unified application. I look forward to logging into Datacoves every day which I can't say about some of my other business applications. The support is also fantastic. Noel and the team are incredibly knowledgeable about the data engineering ecosystem. I always learn someeting new from our conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any qualms with Datacoves. I could see some being frsutrated with being locked into the tools you're using for ELT, but for us specifically those tools are the perfect fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datacoves brings a very well-thought-out devlopment to deployment system. Previously we were using a somewhat standard structure as recommended by DBT. I like the Datacoves methodology far better. The project structure and workflow you inherit by working with them saves a ton of work.

Having the full data pipeline hosted in a single location is fantastic as well. Overall, I highly recommend their system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't identify any specific downsides. The support has been excellent. We've run into a few issues, but they were fixed almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provide data security and compliance. It provides stable environment for data storage and it has easily scalable does ability to disaster recovery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is not cost effective, it can be complex because of integration of multiple tools.

The provisional setup takes much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datacoves helps bring all the processes and expertise from the software development world to the data world. This allows our distributed team of data engineers to work together more effectively, we're already using it on a daily basis. This new way of working is resulting directly into better quality data for our users. Datacoves does not just offer a platform, but helps teams adopt new ways of working by understanding the current state and helping to reach the desired outcomes by integrating with existing enterprise systems.

Some assumptions are being made about your environment in an out-of-the-box installation, which may not always match the actual environment. However any issue we encountered was promptly addressed by the Datacoves team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me datacoves embodies the idea of what the modern data stack is and encompases it on a single solution. At its core it takes the best open source projects that fire up what the modern data stack is and connects them together so you don't have too. I use datacoves almost daily and it really streamlines the work for analyst and developers alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does require more of a tech mindset that some might shy away from. But in the end the more tech savvy you are the better you are off for a solution in my opinion. There are a lot of fallacies and cracks on the drag and drop model plus vendor lock in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
