Coalesce Reviews & Product Details

Castor makes data much more accessible and efficient to use. The search allows you to find your data wherever it might live, from source tables to data models to dashboards and reports across various data tools.

As an analyst, I commonly search for fields and tables, using the results to build queries more quickly.

Additionally, Castor offers a robust table and field lineage, allowing quick visual access to data from the source to use in specific data tools, e.g., Looker, and Metabase. These lineage features enable easy evaluation of the downstream impact of data changes.

While I have not done much work with documentation yet, the robust features allowing documentation syncs will make managing field descriptions and other documentation accessible to more users.

Lastly, the team at Castor is a pleasure to work with and is always responsive to feedback and feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I have not encountered much not to like. The team at Castor is constantly releasing new and useful features.

It would be helpful to allow the copying of field names in a query format in bulk from the table result pages e.g.

, field_1

, field_2 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool provided us a single source of truth for our metrics and created a culture of documentation in our team. On top of that, we get an holistic overview of the dependencies between the tables/dashboards and know how each change could impact downstream/upstream models.

Nothing so far. The only thing I could mention is that we don't have visibility on our data quality processes. The number of tests that failed/succeded over time for example? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is very smooth and friendly. We thought that we would have trouble with adoption, but everyone keeps coming back to castor because it is very simple and intuitive. They have already incorporated Ai in the product which makes it much better for business users to understand SQL queries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, Castor did not have all the integrations that we were looking for, but they have built these incredibly quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy integration with the tools I use like Snowflake, Sigma Computing and DBT. Simple and clean user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many of the integrations are still in their early stages, like Sigma Computing, so there is limited functionality right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Customer Service: The Castor team is incredibly responsive to feedback and gives us quality attention to better understand use cases.

- Its search yields much more relevant results than the search within any of the individual BI tools I've used.

- Cross-tool lineage is a game changer and enables efficient impact analysis of rapid back-end data changes as well as deprecation of unused data assets with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to come up with one. More of a feature request, but an item on my wish list would be the ability to filter lineage by BI tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's really easy to use Castor for data documentation or find informations about our data. I like the Lineage feature, which allows us to easily see where the data in the dashboards comes from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past we have had some synchronization problems but the support is always very reactive to fix it. Sometimes we need to contact them to perform some actions that are not yet developed in the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since getting Castor, we've been able to streamline and standardize our data documentation, resulting in improved data discovery and usage. We've also seen a significant reduction in data-related inquiries, which I would estimate at 50% decrease over the past year. This has freed up so much time for our data team!

There is nothing that I dislike about Castor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Castor help me a lot on several administrative task on tables and dash. It help me to maintain my database as clean as possible, identify dash that are used not accurate data and communicate accross my company regarding documentation. In addition, they have a very good support and always open to any feedbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have more control on data user can see. Sometime I feel that some process are still very manual, but things are improving a lot. Also, we're using a lot of markdown in our description. Sometime, the way it is displayed is not that clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Castor is super easy to use! We love that it auto-populates definitions for commonly used tables (zendesk, salesforce, etc.). We also love that it tells us which tables are most popular - super helpful when we were just starting to populate our data dictionary, and that it syncs with tools like dbt and looker. Our #1 most favorite part is the lineage tool - it has been incredibly timesaving for us when making logic updates and changes to understand the downstream impact of said changes.

It took us a little longer than anticipated to get our database synced with castor and automatically refreshing daily. Other than that, no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Castor has a very smooth UX and the team is always coming out with great new features like sync back and AI. The company also has a really responsive customer success team as well which has been a huge help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We didn't start with all the integrations we needed, but the team has been adding these quickly - very pleased with how they've addressed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
