Metaplane is extremely easy to set up and scale detailed testing to a large amount of data assets. I love the depth of testing it allows you to structure- from basic tests such as uniqueness and freshness to more complex detection of cardinality changes or custom test configuration.
Lineage is another huge feature- Metaplane allows you to see downstream dependencies all the way through to the BI layer, so you know exactly what data assets (including Dashboards) will be affected by a code change.
Metaplane's CI/CD integration with git is great also, where it highlights the specific changes in columns' values from your PRs. For business logic changes, this is an extremely useful way to know exactly what the impacted tables/columns will be, and the degree to which they'll be impacted, allowing for a more thorough audit before deploying code to production.
