What do you like best about Secoda?

Our experience with the Secoda team has been superb- they actively seek out user feedback, and prioritize adding features we request. They turned around an integration we needed that they didn't yet support in a matter of days. I regularly come to them with a vague understanding of a problem or a use case without an implementation idea, and they take the time to fully understand what I'm thinking and consistently offer solutions that are clearly the right fit. Everyone I've had contact with on their team has been helpful, patient, and easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

Nothing to put down here- anytime we have an issue they find a way to solve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data transparency, literacy, and usability across an organization.

Defining internal terminology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Secoda?

- The team is very helpful, prompt to respond to queries and fixing bugs

- They are working relentlessly on some nuanced, custom requests from our team with a Can-do approach for any problem we throw at the team.

- Love the features for Questions, Metrics visualisation, Dictionaries and creating templates for them.

- Exhaustive documentation on how-to-use secoda making it easier to onboard as an admin as well.

- Lineage, though we're still figuring it out, and Alerting for downstream impact could be huge game changers for our org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

The product is a little buggy considering it's still an evolving one, but the team is quick to fix most of them and lets you see all the bugs that they're working on and vote for the ones you think needs to be fixed too ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're still in the early stages of using the product but these are the primary problems we're looking for Secoda to solve:

Data discovery and governance - Most of information about our huge data sources are residing in heads of data developers or in disparate Confluence docs or JIRA tickets. Secoda would provide a centralised location to look-up all things data related to our org. Will be easier to point to new hires or team members to a page on secoda vs having to sit on a call to explain the data to them, thereby saving time, once implemented properly.

Data lineage - how different data impacts downstream/upstream and alerting on change management,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Secoda?

Data documentation is made seamless and easy. It is one of the rare tool with really good features which provides integration to Looker studio!Thanks to Secoda.

Their constant improvement in providing new feature/ updating the existing feature. Responsive and helpful customer support team. Budget friendly supporting the start-up companies to avail the tool with awesome feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

As they continuously develop and update features we experience some bugs but the support team is active and try to fix it ASAP. Their AI assistant is a very good feature but I believe there is still scope for development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Extremely useful in change implementation - tracking the upstream /downstream of Tables and reports which we were suffering a lot with our old Data catalogue tool. Understanding Data within the entire organisation is made easy for Business Analysts and new team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Secoda?

Secoda brings a holistic view to navigating our internal data landscape

As one of the very first users of Secoda, I'd say we were the guinea pigs and the Secoda team made the process enjoyable. They were (and still are) very open to our feedback, and suggestions on the product roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

As with integrating tools in a tightly regulated sector like financial services (Fintech), there were some initial hoops to cross but the Secoda team was very patient to work with us through this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before Secoda, our documentation for data models and dashboards was scattered all over (Google Sheets, Notion, Jira etc) and this made it difficult to discover or search.

Secoda helps us centralize that information and makes it available for the data team and our business users. Also, the FAQ section is a nifty feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Secoda?

The search function in Secoda makes all of the terms, documentation, cataloging, etc. easy to find for users of all data expertise. This continues to be vital in our efforts to operate more efficiently! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

We do run into product bugs here and there, but the Secoda team is incredibly quick to respond to + resolve bugginess! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Secoda is helping my company transfer tribal knowledge into one single soure-of-truth. This will enable all of our future data efforts to grow at-scale. We currently use Secoda to catalogue data questions/requests, maintain a dictionary and document tables + lineage, and have plans to start using the platform for monitoring as well.

Other praises: The Secoda interface is really clean and easy-to-use. The product team is always iterating and improving offerings in intentional ways that help us solve more data challenges. Their thought leadership in the space is top-tier, and you can see a healthy data community starting to grow around their efforts. Lastly, all of the aforementioned items are also made possible because of their customer care and the hard work they do to ensure the customer voice is heard. All of this benefits our company in many ways! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Secoda?

For me, what diferentiates Secoda from other data catalogs is the constant mindfulness around making data accessible for the entire company, not just individual data oriented groups. Setting up integrations is quick and easy, and exposes data in a way that feels a lot more natural which makes it easy to dive in for anyone. The team over there is also great to work with, super receptive to feedback and always jumping in to help ASAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

Secoda meets out needs pretty perfectly at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Democritizing data across our entire organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Secoda?

Most data dictionaries target engineers and technical users. They focus on table schemas and metadata, which is useful in an engineering and data science context, but is not geared towards the rest of the business.

By comparison, Secoda is a data dictionary/knowledge platform for anyone. By pairing technical documentation and lineage with wiki/Papers style pages, data consumers in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Sales, and Supply Chain can search for terms they use daily and find related resources helpful to their work. Metrics definitions, semantic terminology, BI asstes, and business domain lexicon gets to live side-by-side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

Very little. I would like to see additional collaboration features, like in document comment threads.

That being said, they actively release new features, so I imagine it's a matter of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Secoda to help us get the business aligned on key metric terminology, so that we can ensure everyone is speaking the same language, that new hires have easy onboarding to the data and terminology of the business, and that the central data team is delivering data products aligned with the needs and understanding of the business.

What do you like best about Secoda?

Secoda has been super helpful especially as we onboard new analysts! It makes it very easy for them to understand our lineage and how the tables can be joined and interact with each other! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Secoda?

Right now the main issue is with getting teams outside of data to use and understand secoda. Theres a high level of technical understanding needed before being able to fully leverage the power of the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Right now it is the documentation of our warehouse and tools. It is not quite there in terms of an all-in-one search tool for our users to use. It does work well for analysts themselves to be able to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
