SYNQ Reviews & Product Details

Best thing about Synq is that we not only get our daily operations like alerting the right owners handled, but also more analytical insight in the data health, that can be used for reporting data quality insight to c-level. Besides this the team are constantly developing on the tooling and features, to make the product as helpfull and useful as possible. And if we have questions or bugs, the support is really easy to get a hold of and things are being addressed fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can come up with, it that because they often develop new features, old features might be deprecated, so ways of working might need to be adjusted according to those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synq is an excellent tool for monitoring data quality issues in dbt, such as failed tests, and for examining data lineage. It enables you to track data flows from their sources, through dbt models and Snowflake tables, all the way to Looker explores, tiles, and dashboards. This is an essential aid when it comes to maintaining models. The team has also been very responsive and of great support in helping us make the most of the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website's user interface can be somewhat difficult to navigate. Additionally, the process for triaging issues and marking them as investigating or resolved feels a bit clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synq is integrated with all our data stack (github, dbt, Snowflake and Looker) and in an almost seamless way. It help us to maximise our efficienty and minimise the development/maintenance cost by adding an overlay on top of dbt systems (assets, runs, alerts, tags, ...).

For me, the most important features are:

- incident management, centralised our dbt alerts, group them in a smart way and add on top of it a notion of "incident" with downstrams impacts

- data catalogue, with column lineage and nice filters

As a "new competitors" in the market, I also think they want to stay close to their customers, and listen to their feedbacks, which is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some minor "UX" bugs and inconsistency. Probably because they're more focused on developing their core functionalities rather than the surface layer, but I have no doubt that it will only get better with time (and the overall UX experience is already satisfying).

Great tool for managing your data platform, ensuring it’s easy to spot when and where things have gone wrong when problems arise. It's integration with dbt means that we can view the data reliability across our whole DAG. The customer support is brilliant and they are always willing to help troubleshoot when needed.

The UI is not completely intuitive and takes some getting used to. I would say their AI feature is still in the early development phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synq is an excellent tool for viewing and managing data quality metrics, and it also provides daily alerting. With Synq, we can easily monitor and troubleshoot failures in our sqlmesh models and audits. The Synq team has always been attentive, responding quickly to any issues and providing prompt support.

One drawback of syqn is the visibility on if all audits are being pulled through Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synq has significantly streamlined how our team manages and collaborates on data issues across the organisation. It has become an essential part of our workflow by enabling us to quickly respond to, collaborate on, and resolve data issues before they escalate. In particular, its super easy to integrate granular level dbt test alerts and custom Synq monitors into Slack. The tool also empowers both technical and business stakeholders by providing full visibility into data lineage, including column level-lineage, from ingestion to dashboard.

The tool has easily saved us hours of time a week by reducing the volume of ad-hoc queries we recieve and improving the efficeny in which we respond to data incidents.

The team at Synq has been very responsive in developing new features and continually enhancing the tool. Their commitment to supporting us and ensuring we get the most out of the platform has been invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Synq has evolved significantly over the last few years, fully leveraging its improvements requires data teams to invest time in engaging with these updates, which may involve adjustments to existing workflows. To maximize the tool's potential, it's crucial for data teams to secure full buy-in from key stakeholders across the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For such a young product, Synq packs a punch and offers multiple ways to monitor the health of your data products (including a brilliant column level lineage ability and simple to set up slack notifications). We use it on an almost daily basis to monitor our analytics pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major, it is a tool that does its job and even has some customisation capabilities via developer tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With many new features the UI has become complex, and it's not always easy to find detailed configuration options. However, the team is very quick to help out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synq has made a huge difference for us, really stepping up our data quality game and helping us get more out of dbt. It fit right into our existing pipelines without any issues. The support team has been fantastic—always ready to help and genuinely excited about data quality, which is something we care a lot about too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, not much at all. It's rare to find a tool that fits so well into existing workflows and enhances them in such a significant way. So let it be the most complimentary review out there - it's deserved anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
