What do you like best about Designer Cloud?

I love Trifacta's UI because it saves a lot of time prepping the data.

For instance, by seeing data quality along with the data itself, I can figure out and decide the actions immediately instead of visualizing and checking it.

The AI-supported suggestion comes in handy when prepping data because just by dragging or selecting within the UI, Trifacta provides some suggestions on what I might want to do. The suggestion and preview make Trifacta more powerful because I don't have to search for functions I want to use.

Last but not least, Trifacta uses distributed computing, and hence, I don't have to rewrite the tiny snippets into Spark which is very time-consuming and error-prone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Designer Cloud?

Data prepping always run on a distributed computing environment which becomes an overkill when I want to prep only a few KB or MB of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Designer Cloud:

Trifacta is very intuitive and easy to use!

I would first give Google Dataprep a try on Google Cloud as it's easy to set up and try out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Trifacta for most of my exploratory data analysis and data cleansing. It is more intuitive, fast, and scalable compared to other tools that I know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Designer Cloud?

The user interface is very convenient and it is easy to use. As compared to python or other programming languages, you don't have to write long codes to prep the data for analysis. Also, the review feature, which allows you to see the changes you are about to do beforehand is very helpful. In the whole data analysis process, prepping the data is the most tedious and time-consuming part but with Trifacta it has become more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Designer Cloud?

I was using the student version and there was a limit of 1gb on the processing the data. This was a bit frustrating because while I wanted to use the software for big data projects and everything, the limit set hindered my use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Designer Cloud:

If you want to optimise your time and interact with raw data in a way you could never think of in python, Trifacta is for you!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used Trifacta for multiple projects, it is a great data prep tool. Easy, convenient and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Designer Cloud?

Dataprep is an excellent tool to take your dataset structure or unstructured to clean, enrich, transform before you publish. The Dataprep tool is easy to use with its simplicity , that is how a UI should be simple for the user packing a lot of punch behind the scene. I have used Dateprep in the Google Cloud Platform, and it integrates with other Google Cloud Platform services in an easy step by step fashion.

On the Google Cloud Platform Dataprep is setup as service on a serverless environment, to get started there is no hardware or software installation required, you just enable the service to start.

I have done a few transformations and I wrote up an article about one specific project I worked on with Dataprep, you can find the article on my blog at this address https://torbjornzetterlund.com/maritime-noon-report-with-google-cloud-dataprep/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Designer Cloud?

Knowing your datasets are important, so when you import your dataset into Dataprep you do not need to wrangle them a lot. I have used an early version of Dataprep on the Google Cloud Platform, you could only get data from BigQuery, Cloud Storage or a direct .csv/.json file import. Limited data connectors, I understand that this is changing in the new version of Dataprep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Designer Cloud:

A great tool for your Data practise arsenal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think that is best explained in this article - https://torbjornzetterlund.com/maritime-noon-report-with-google-cloud-dataprep/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Designer Cloud?

A good interface, lots of features, and fairly easy to use web app. As a beginner user, it was not so difficult to get a handle on the software suite and figure out how to do some comparatively elementary wrangling and sorting of my data to get it into a more workable state, and so in that sense it was quite valuable. However, I realized that it was too much software for the relatively limited use case that I had, and unfortunately due to the coronavirus our business plan was changed and that obviated the need to continue with data analysis at that level for the time being. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Designer Cloud?

An overly aggressive sales model, and a seeming lack of communication by internal sales teams resulting in receiving emails from 3 to 4 different inside sales reps simultaneously rather than a single point of contact. Admittedly, I think that their model isn't necessarily bad and for a more advanced user it would be trivial to initiate contact and begin a detailed discussion of comparative needs and pricing models to find out whether Trifacta fit their organizations needs or not. All of my contact with the Trifacta team was quite professional and positive, but as a beginning user trying to figure out what my needs were, it felt a bit overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Designer Cloud:

Understand your data and what you need done with it before jumping in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wrangling large divergent data sets for import export data, Trifacta actually helped normalize some of that data and put it together in a time saving way. I also became aware of some of the limitations in other software solutions for data wrangling. I think that Trifacta has the right insights as to how and why people need to wrangle their data, and have proposed some creative ways of dealing with that in a web platform that is fairly easy to integrate to existing work flows.

What do you like best about Designer Cloud?

It is user friendly, requires mostly knowledge of logic, of how to transform and normalize data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Designer Cloud?

The job runs cannot be as customized as one might need. It only allows Append, or create a new Table, it doesn't offer the option to upsert data. That would be a great improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Designer Cloud:

Use Trifacta for ETL solutions, it is complete and easy to use when it comes to data transformation and normalization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently I transform and normalize data from different platforms like Facebook, DV360 and Google Analytics. After normalizing data, I cross them in order to have one datalake with all my marketing campaigns results in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
