Cinchy Reviews & Product Details

One of the best things about Cinchy is its ability to simplify data integration and management. With Cinchy, you can easily connect disparate data sources and manage data relationships without complex coding or manual data entry. It shifts dependency away from IT and Development teams, putting data ownership in the hands of business users and 'citizen developers' while maintaining centralized governance and security.

The platform itself is 'Cinchy' to use. However, it is a self-hosted application, and the installation process is rather complex. The existing documentation is well done, but it assumes a very high level of technical knowledge and some advanced features aren't fully explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinchy is the most innovative data collaboration platform that can be used for a variety of use cases. The team is excellent and their mission is to make you successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything about Cinchy. There are some areas of improvement that Cinchy is currently prioritizing for e.g., seamless deployment of the software to higher environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product installation could be automated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed of development, very quick from idea to implementation. Very user friendly and intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, this is a great product that would benefit many organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinchy is dataware that gives you back control over your data by freeing your applications from the complexities of storing, connecting and protecting data. The core platform does all that for you. Applications become thin skins on top of all that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to determine exactly what it is that Cinchy does without a LOT of reading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CINCHY's ease of use. The application is very easy to navigate, use and manage. The features are so vast, with continuous improvements and updates, which makes it a leading application to use in any organisation. It integrates well into other applications/systems, easy to embedd into new and existing business process and overall best-in-class for collaboration.

CINCHY can be used as the 'central fabric' of your data management hub, where you can begin to dyamically interact with your data in real time, cut, paste, slice and dice then share with other stakeholders. This means it can easily solve issues around entity relationships, hierarchy structures, master data managment and managing data governance workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy access to useful knowledge hints and article (CINCHY manual of academy), would be nice to have. Also having suggestive prompts with regards to how to better use a function would be great. It increases overall interactivity on the platform.

'Clear moduling' - it would be nice to creare a clear delineation for business user functions and technology user functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Cinchy Platform helped us transition to becoming a more data enabled organization. In partifular it helped us:

-Consolidate siloed data from different applications into one central location

-Enabled us to build sophisticated reports and dashboards to help support better decision making

-Helped to speed up the time of integration between different applications and tables

Ultimately we were able to remove our pain points with respect to data. Primarily, we reduced the time to create reports and dashbaords from a minimum of 4 weeks to 1-2 business days. We finally had access to data in one central location for the entire business to ensure that we were reporting on one data set - improving our overall consistency from a reporting perspective.

Because of our organization's security standards, it took some time to implement cinchy in our AWS environment. Also it took us time to open up ports and IP addresses so that CInchy could access our databases and servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Cut the amount of development time required by at least 3x

- Very easy to make connections and relationships between data, and explore through the data

- Clearly control data access, allowing fine-grained control

- Auto-generated endpoints for queries

- User management and authentication out of the box

- Run custom javascript for any needs that might not be met by the core

- Automating interactions between tables

- Easy to deploy in the cloud or on-premise Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Some great features are a little hard to find at first, but the Cinchy Team is actively improving all of this

- Out of the box Auth could be improved by making password reset easier.

- Not much else Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinchy has a very dynamic team that puts in all efforts to meet customer expectations by providing innovative solutions.

This current and dynamic platform brings a new way to manage data with an intuitive, flexible, and modern solution. Cinchy offers innovative native features to facilitate data management processes. Robust and iterative, the structure of data and metadata allows for great latitude.

Our entire data architecture is centered around Cinchy: the solution is used as a data hub, MDM, and also as an application for managing our data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinchy is a very young solution and, as such, still requires developments to reach its full maturity. The solution is very modular: its use must follow a strict framework to avoid misuse and result in "chaos." It is therefore important to be accompanied by Cinchy experts to use the full potential of the platform's features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform provides a nice balance of structure around the definition of data relationships, but flexibility to model your data network in a manner that supports the use case. While the ultimate vision within the app is obviously geared at a fully integrated data fabric, it doesn't stop you from deploying it more as a toolkit that supports fit for purpose exercises along the lines of data profiling or workflow design.

My first couple of days working with Cinchy I built out a live representation of the data model that was implied under a project design, and found myself with a candidate network that highlighted a couple of key datasets which would support a level of elegance in our long term design. The visualization gets people's attention in a meeting, but it actually helps with data profiling in a sandbox style use case as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some technical expertise and Cinchy specific knowledge required in organizing some of the flavors of connectors. It was easy enough, and a tech team that had integrated Cinchy into their stack would find the effort trivial, and business super users won't have challenges once familiarized. It may be unavoidable given the technical nature of such data integration efforts, but this does create a barrier to entry for direct adoption by non expert users. This is a trivial point for the software's core use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
