Metaplane has been a game-changer for our data monitoring and lineage tracking. The tool's ability to alert us when a model's monitor falls out of range has allowed us to proactively address data issues that previously would have gone unnoticed, as our dbt tests are strategically set to fail under a more stringent set of constraints and dbt alerts tend to be noisier and more difficult to preemptively define. This feature, combined with the ability to understand downstream lineage from the Metaplane UI, has significantly improved our troubleshooting process, allowing us to resolve potential data issues before our stakeholders are even aware of them. Additionally, Metaplane's customer support and product teams have been exceptional. They are prompt, professional, and highly receptive to our suggestions for new features. In fact, they have already rolled out multiple new features and improvements based on our feedback. They provided onboarding and implementation assistance as well, which made for a successful rollout very quickly upon procuring the software. We've particularly appreciated the ability to monitor external tables, a common method we use for loading data from S3. Additionaly, the ability to connect dbt models' downstream exposures to Tableau has been incredibly useful. And finally, the ability to define monitors via the UI or yaml in our dbt project has provided flexibility when and where we need it.

Metaplane provides great insight into our data. We use the tool frequently to enforce data quality through easy-to-set-up monitors. In addition, Metaplane visually displays data lineage and query usage. Setting up Metaplane was extermely easy as well. In a few clicks, the integration was complete. I enjoy the close relationship with the Metaplane team. They are serious about making improvements to an already very useful product.

Metaplanes connection into BI tools like Tableau helps us tremendously when troubleshooting issues in the gray areas of a fledgling data governance system. We don't need to rely on a VP+ informing us that data looks off with Metaplane and can be seemingly much more proactive with the alerts we receive. Metaplane has empowered our > 40 analysts to own their final stage data in a way that is much more scalable than trying to hire engineering talent at the same scale, epecially since it is non-technical user friendly. Besides that, I find the team driving the roadmap incredibly amenable and responsive to our needs. We asked for a feature around tracking lineage of custom queries in Tableau, they set a timeline and delivered. Implementation of the tool is incredibly easy as well, making it a quick turn around as part of the build process for net new models.
