To foster a data-driven culture, automation of data observability at scale is essential. The best way to achieve this is through what is called Data Observability Driven Development [DODD] which implies observable information is produced by the applications. The method is a paradigm shift that allows data teams and data usage to scale efficiently. DODD is done from within the applications to enable data projects with synchronized observability, continuous validation, and contextual observability. * * * Seller [Kensu](https://www.g2.com/sellers/kensu) Discussions [Kensu Community](https://www.g2.com/products/kensu/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by François Pietquin Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Monte Carlo](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Monte Carlo") Monte Carlo 4.3/5(536) ](https://www.g2.com/products/monte-carlo/reviews) [ ![Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud)](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud)") Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud) 4.3/5(319) ](https://www.g2.com/products/salesforce-data-360-formerly-data-cloud/reviews) [ ![Mezmo](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Mezmo") Mezmo 4.6/5(224) ](https://www.g2.com/products/mezmo/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/kensu/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 10 real user reviews.
