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

How does Sifflet help with data observability during the CI process?
Sifflet integrates directly with your CI pipelines on platforms like GitHub and GitLab to proactively surface issues before code is merged. By analyzing the impact of dbt model changes and running data quality monitors in testing environments, Sifflet ensures data reliability and minimizes production disruptions.
How does Sifflet use AI to improve data observability?
At Sifflet, we're integrating advanced AI models into our observability platform to enhance data quality monitoring and anomaly detection. Marie, our Machine Learning Engineer, has been instrumental in building intelligent systems that automatically detect issues across data pipelines, making it easier to maintain data reliability in real time.
How does Sifflet’s Freshness Monitor scale across large data environments?
Sifflet’s Freshness Monitor is designed to scale effortlessly. Thanks to our dynamic monitoring mode and continuous scan feature, you can monitor thousands of data assets without manually setting schedules. It’s a smart way to implement data pipeline monitoring across distributed systems and ensure SLA compliance at scale.
What is data observability, and why is it important for companies like Hypebeast?
Data observability is the ability to understand the health, reliability, and quality of data across your ecosystem. For a data-driven company like Hypebeast, it helps ensure that insights are accurate and trustworthy, enabling better decision-making across teams.
What role does accessibility play in Sifflet’s UI design?
Accessibility is a core part of our design philosophy. We ensure that key indicators in our observability tools, such as data freshness checks or pipeline health statuses, are communicated using both color and iconography. This approach supports inclusive experiences for users with visual impairments, including color blindness.
What is dbt Impact Analysis and how does it help with data observability?
dbt Impact Analysis is a new feature from Sifflet that automatically comments on GitHub or GitLab pull requests with a list of impacted assets when a dbt model is changed. This helps teams enhance their data observability by understanding downstream effects before changes go live.
How does the rise of unstructured data impact data quality monitoring?
Unstructured data, like text, images, and audio, is growing rapidly due to AI adoption and IoT expansion. This makes data quality monitoring more complex but also more essential. Tools that can profile and validate unstructured data are key to maintaining high-quality datasets for both traditional and AI-driven applications.
Is this feature scalable for large datasets and multiple data assets?
Yes, it is! With Sifflet’s auto-coverage and observability tools, you can monitor distribution deviation at scale with just a few clicks. Whether you're working with batch data observability or streaming data monitoring, Sifflet has you covered with automated, scalable insights.
