Prós e Contras de Elementary Data

This project combines a startup mindset with an open-source approach, thriving on feedback and continuously improving. Setting up a robust base for data observability is fast and efficient, thanks to their intuitive batch configuration system and dbt-native approach.

The UI is clean and user-friendly, but there’s room for improvement in making it easier to filter down and take action on alerts.

Also, I like the team's incredible spirit and commitment to improving the tool. They actively listen to feedback. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

The limited integrations with additional BI platforms and ticketing systems reduce the tool's flexibility and its ability to fit seamlessly into diverse workflows. Expanding these integrations would significantly enhance its versatility. Additionally, the UI filtering options could be more robust, enabling users to quickly identify and act on critical issues. Improving these areas would make the tool more efficient, adaptable, and user-friendly for a wider range of teams. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Flexibility of integration, particularly with dbt models and relevant datawarehouse adaptors; free CLI version that is good enough to start with and custom setup; Data Health score - recent release, measurement of data validity across 6 dimensions; column-lineage Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

The catalog solution is pretty raw, I would still invest in a separate mature data catalog solution. Some integrations (like with BI tools or GitHub) are depending on private keys, not newer, more public ways to authenticate (or at least I did not find).

Alerting behaviour should be adjusted to avoid alert fatigue, the default behaviour might not be applicable to the use case. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Elementary Data excels in simplifying the process of data quality monitoring. Its intuitive interface and seamless integration with modern data stack make it a standout tool. I particularly appreciate the anomaly detection and detailed insights it provides, which help identify and resolve data issues before they escalate. Additionally, the visual reporting dashboards are both user-friendly and highly informative, enabling stakeholders to quickly grasp key metrics without needing deep technical expertise.

I would say that some sections of the UI are not clear enough and I hope Metrics feature and their automatic anomaly detection could improve soon, but so far I am very confortable with the tool. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

As a data consultant, I work with several customers who demand high data quality for their data platforms. Elementary is a critical part of features that I can provide to meet those expectations. The combination of compiling dbt dag logs and powerful anomaly detection based in statistics makes it a perfect choice for data teams of all sizes Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Since Elementary demands integration with only dbt, it may not always be the best fit for teams with lower data maturity levels or teams that don't use dbt as a main data transformation tool. In such cases, foundational issues need to be addressed before leveraging a tool like dbt and Elementary. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Elementary Cloud se destaca pela facilidade de uso e fornece testes automatizados que cobrem aspectos chave como volume, atualidade e esquema. A configuração de testes através da interface do usuário simplifica a colaboração e reduz a complexidade técnica. A linhagem de dados a nível de campo é particularmente valiosa para avaliar impactos e resolver incidentes de forma eficiente. Os alertas do Slack são bem projetados e configuráveis, facilitando a notificação dos interessados e melhorando a confiabilidade dos dados. Além disso, a integração com o Looker adiciona um valor significativo aos fluxos de trabalho de análise de dados. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Embora seja uma ferramenta robusta, alguns processos, como a modificação de testes e a geração de pull requests, poderiam ser mais simplificados. Uma melhor integração com a documentação e uma visão centralizada dos testes definidos também seria útil. No entanto, essas pequenas desvantagens não prejudicam muito uma experiência geral muito positiva. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

1. Made data quality measurable and transparent through its dashboard.

2. Significantly reduced the effort required to build and maintain a robust data monitoring and observability system.

3. Amplified the impact of data validation in DBT by tracking validation history and seamlessly integrating with our alerting system.

4. Fast response to any issue and inqueries. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

It would be helpful to include information on the underlying mechanisms, such as how data freshnes anamoly were checked. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

If you're using dbt, Elementary data is great addon to your data stack to monitor your queries, test coverage and report failures on Slack. The cloud version adds quality of life improvements to the OSS version.

It's fairly easy to plug in your dbt project and the different options to be added to the alerts are helpful to do some triage. The community and team is helpful and provide some support on the company's Slack. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

The platform is adding metadata through pre-hooks and post-hooks in dbt which slows down a bit your workflow.

The Slack alert template has little customization support and though it's OK, I think it could a bit more readable. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

* Improved Data Validation & Anomaly Detection.

* Seamless Integration with dbt.

* Automated Data Quality Monitoring.

* Intuitive Dashboard & Reporting.

* Faster Issue Detection & Resolution.

* Customization & Flexibility. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

* The documentation is a bit unclear, making it difficult to fully understand how to configure and optimize the tool. Many features are not well-documented, leading to trial-and-error implementation rather than a structured onboarding experience.

* The anomaly detection feature needs improvement. Currently, when an anomaly occurs, the upper and lower bounds expand, making it difficult to easily disregard the anomaly. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Elementary Cloud has been a game-changer, providing a seamless, minimal-effort implementation and direct integration with our dbt Core environment. Getting started with Elementary was incredibly straightforward, with no major configuration changes needed for our dbt project. After a simple package installation and granting basic read access to the Elementary schema in our warehouse, we were up and running the same day!

The integration with Slack has proven invaluable, as our team receives real-time alerts that keep us on top of potential data issues as they arise. Being able to collaborate with teammates within our primary communication tool makes troubleshooting faster and easier.

The platform’s UI is another standout feature. It's clean, intuitive, and perfectly balanced for both technical and non-technical users. And it includes column level lineage!!

And last but definitely not least, the Elementary support team is phenomenal! Their responses are timely, their recommendations impactful, and they genuinely listen to our needs. Love working with them! Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

Our dislikes are very few, especially knowing that upcoming feature enhancements will address these concerns.

But to call out something specifically...One dislike is that I'm not as creative as their marketing team! Love their "I want data, not your opinion!" slogan! Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.

A maioria das ferramentas de observabilidade que vi se enquadram em dois grupos, ou são de código aberto e realmente difíceis de usar, ou têm bloqueio total do fornecedor. Elementary se equilibra nessa linha de ser de código aberto e construído em cima da sua pilha dbt, mas ainda é muito fácil de configurar. O preço do elementary cloud é muito mais acessível para pequenas startups começarem com a observabilidade de dados, que, na minha experiência, é restrita a empresas de grande porte, apesar de muitas vezes ser necessária em empresas de menor porte.

se você não gosta de dbt ou não tem dbt configurado, não há nada com que trabalhar aqui. Acho que a empresa ainda é jovem e mais casos extremos ainda estão sendo resolvidos, mas, fora isso, estou bastante satisfeito até agora. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
