"Castor is spot on"
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce Catalog (formerly CastorDoc)?

Navigating data is very complex, and one mistake can cost a lot (time, wrong decision, etc.), not to mention onboarding time or efficiency gains. Castor is exactly solving those issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce Catalog (formerly CastorDoc)?

Not a dislike per se, but there are maybe some opportunities with LLMs (like GPT) to help people document in a more automated manner. Querying data directly into Castor would be amazing too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
