"Innovative and Agile Product Accelerating Data Activation"
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

Coalesce is an easy to use platform that stays lock step with Snowflake so I'm always able to leverage the latest functionality of Snowflake within my production ready pipelines. There is an active package library that allows me to extend the base functionality of the platform to address more custom use cases and initiatives. Coalesce lowers the barrier of entry for new users accelerating how quickly engineers can ensure data products are ready for consumption. They have excellent customer service and proven results that show they are listening to their users. It has been a pivotal decision for our Snowflake journey that has become foundational in our success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

Documentation is greatly enhanced through the use of Coalesce catalog but the editor lacks some level of customization found in other platforms. Package updates are frequent, but the effort to make mass adjustments through a large DAG remains cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Has been a game changer for our team."
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

We have a broad level of experience on our team, from new-grad to decades of experience. Both are able to use Coalesce in the way they see fit, and Coalesce meets them where they're at....whether it's through the UI or bringing your own code. The support team has been fantastic, and they're constantly adding features to make things more efficient for their end users. Coalesce is also very competitive price-wise with other tools in the same class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

The online community documentation is still growing, but rapidly catching up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SYNQ allows an easy overview of data quality across the whole data platform at any moment"
4/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

Great tool for managing your data platform, ensuring it’s easy to spot when and where things have gone wrong when problems arise. It's integration with dbt means that we can view the data reliability across our whole DAG. The customer support is brilliant and they are always willing to help troubleshoot when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

The UI is not completely intuitive and takes some getting used to. I would say their AI feature is still in the early development phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Coalesce has been a data transformation savior!"
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

The UI is very user friendly. Coalesce has pushed many updates since we have onboarded and the quality of life improvement's have been greatly welcomed! The flexibility of Coalesce has helped us move over 100GB of data models from our BI tool into Snowflake in just 6 months with only two data engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

To date I have nothing I dislike about Coalesce. My only complaint or request would be a built in job monitor. In order to be notified if a job fails via email etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time savings and useability at the core of Coalesce"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

Coalesce feels very intuitive when building. I love that it follows a very straightforward flow, and makes things fast and easy to build. I love the column awareness and the ability to maintain data pipelines with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

I think some improvements can be made around the graph ease to navigate and use. It would be helpful in some cases to have sorting, or organizing capabilities when working with large, complex pipelines. I probably don't leverage the table view as much as I should, but having the graph be a little easier to filter and organize/group would be a quality of life improvement.

"The best data transformation tool to scale"
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

Coalesce IMO is the best transformation tool in the market. Before selecting them, I did extensive research of the other tools in the space. Some feature that stood out were bulk edit, custom node types, data lineage, rapid deployment and so many more. The people at this company are also wonderful to work with. Integration with snowflake can be achieved within minutes. The ease of use, yet ability to build complex logic makes this stand out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

They are working on an orchestration tool and their data lineage could use a few minor enhancements (which I think are on the roadmap) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enabling centralised data quality analytics and alerting with synq"
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

Synq is an excellent tool for viewing and managing data quality metrics, and it also provides daily alerting. With Synq, we can easily monitor and troubleshoot failures in our sqlmesh models and audits. The Synq team has always been attentive, responding quickly to any issues and providing prompt support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

One drawback of syqn is the visibility on if all audits are being pulled through Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A centralised hub for data observability within our organisation"
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

Synq has significantly streamlined how our team manages and collaborates on data issues across the organisation. It has become an essential part of our workflow by enabling us to quickly respond to, collaborate on, and resolve data issues before they escalate. In particular, its super easy to integrate granular level dbt test alerts and custom Synq monitors into Slack. The tool also empowers both technical and business stakeholders by providing full visibility into data lineage, including column level-lineage, from ingestion to dashboard.

The tool has easily saved us hours of time a week by reducing the volume of ad-hoc queries we recieve and improving the efficeny in which we respond to data incidents.

The team at Synq has been very responsive in developing new features and continually enhancing the tool. Their commitment to supporting us and ensuring we get the most out of the platform has been invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

While Synq has evolved significantly over the last few years, fully leveraging its improvements requires data teams to invest time in engaging with these updates, which may involve adjustments to existing workflows. To maximize the tool's potential, it's crucial for data teams to secure full buy-in from key stakeholders across the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Supercharging ETL for my Small Team"
5/5
What do you like best about Coalesce?

Coalesce's easy to grasp UI and column based lineage along with its snowflake centric approach are its biggest strengths. It allows us to focus on data modeling and less on the syntax. We were able to easily implement our first few models in record time. It easily integrates with our preferred vendor Snowflake which really enhances performance. Finally the standout customer support and onboarding process has been crucial for our continued success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coalesce?

There are certain features in the UI that are missing from an ease of use perspective, like an undo button. You have to rely on git commits to ensure you don't lose work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
