SYNQ Pros and Cons

- The collorabtion with their team, they are very quick to adapt to new situations and always quick on response to our questions

- The UI is very easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we haven't been able to ultilize their data catalog funtion, mainly because we have different use cases, but they are very open to help to develop it to fit us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synq is very helpful for us in maintaining the data quality & managing the stability. Synq alerts us the unexpected errors and is seamlessly integrated with other tools to notify us what the issue is, what is the latest state of the issue etc., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think-off any. It is very easy & reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrates nicely with most tools we use: Slack, dbt, BigQuery, Looker etc. End to end observability makes it much easier to keep track of what data we use and where we use it. Column level lineage is a game changer for observability through our layers. Makes us able to better decentralise responsibility of both creating and following up alerts as well as notifying consumers of failing data. Nice that they listen to feedback from their users.

The product is still a little young with some bugs and it still changes a lot in the UI. But I appreciate that it’s fast moving and bugs are disappearing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having Synq being the one stop shop for data observability. The fact that integrates smoothly with various existing tools and platforms saves us a lot of time by streamlining workflows and setting up an alerting system with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be overwhleming at times. 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.

I love that I can see the linage of my models, even when filtering for columns + I love that when I need to question/examin my models in ANY way, Synq is my first to-go tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it is still developing. But don't take me wrong this is also a GREAT thing, as we get to witness and sometimes contribute to how they are developing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
