Sifflet is better for business

The best data leaders know that data quality isn’t just a technical issue. They want tooling that allows technical and business users to engage with data observability. That’s why teams are switching from Monte Carlo to Sifflet.

THE BIG PICTURE

Augmented data quality for analytics and AI

Monte Carlo focuses on technical data quality, looking at freshness, accuracy, nulls, voids and more. Sifflet does this too, but it goes one step further—pulling in documentation and business context with input from downstream users to understand business critical data products and processes.

The result is truly augmented data quality for analytics and AI, because technical teams know exactly what to prioritize when it comes to monitoring and triaging.

Don't Solve Half the Problem.

If you want to tackle data quality just from a technical perspective, Sifflet isn’t for you. But if you want to reach augmented data quality for analytics and AI that truly brings business value to downstream users, Sifflet is the right choice for today… and tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions

Why is data lineage important for GDPR compliance?
Data lineage is essential for GDPR because it helps you trace personal data from source to destination. This means you can see where PII is stored, how it flows through your data pipelines, and which reports or applications use it. With this visibility, you can manage deletion requests, audit data usage, and ensure data governance policies are enforced consistently.
How does Sifflet help with data discovery across different tools like Snowflake and BigQuery?
Great question! Sifflet acts as a unified observability platform that consolidates metadata from tools like Snowflake and BigQuery into one centralized Data Catalog. By surfacing tags, labels, and schema details, it makes data discovery and governance much easier for all stakeholders.
What kinds of alerts can trigger incidents in ServiceNow through Sifflet?
You can trigger incidents from any Sifflet alert, including data freshness checks, schema changes, and pipeline failures. This makes it easier to maintain SLA compliance and improve overall data reliability across your observability platform.
How does Sifflet support proactive data pipeline monitoring?
Sifflet’s observability platform offers proactive data pipeline monitoring through extensive monitoring tools, real-time alerts, and historical performance insights. These features help your team stay ahead of issues and ensure your data pipelines are always delivering high-quality, reliable data.
What makes Sifflet’s Data Catalog different from built-in catalogs like Snowsight or Unity Catalog?
Unlike tool-specific catalogs, Sifflet serves as a 'Catalog of Catalogs.' It brings together metadata from across your entire data ecosystem, providing a single source of truth for data lineage tracking, asset discovery, and SLA compliance.
How does data observability differ from traditional data quality monitoring?
Great question! While data quality monitoring focuses on detecting when data doesn't meet expected thresholds, data observability goes further. It continuously collects signals like metrics, metadata, and lineage to provide context and root cause analysis when issues arise. Essentially, observability helps you not only detect anomalies but also understand and fix them faster, making it a more proactive and scalable approach.
What benefits can I expect from using Sifflet with Google Cloud?
By combining Sifflet with Google Cloud, you get end-to-end cloud data observability, real-time metrics, and proactive monitoring across your data stack. It’s a powerful way to boost your data reliability and meet your SLA compliance goals.
Can Sifflet integrate with our existing data tools and platforms?
Absolutely! Sifflet is designed to integrate seamlessly with your current stack. We support a wide range of tools including Airflow, Snowflake, AWS Glue, and more. Our goal is to provide complete pipeline orchestration visibility and data freshness checks, all from one intuitive interface.
