Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/9/2023 "Data Quality Monitoring for Analytics" 5/5 What do you like best about Soda? We love the SODA API, SODA integrations with other products, the response time of the SODA team. This allows to make sure that every morning our analysts know the data is good to go for their analytics via a slack integration. With the SODA API, we were able to create a Tableau dashboard so that our leadership team between Business and Technology can have substance conversations when issues do arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Soda? The stigma that implementing SODA checks is hard. There is a learning curve, but usually when a product do require some learning this usually mean there is some flexibility that goes along with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Soda solving and how is that benefiting you? 1) SODA allows us to create automatic checks that can detect if the data quality is good to go every morning, so our analysts can hit the ground running when they do their analytics 2) SODA allows the creation of a high-level data quality dashboard for our leadership team to discuss data issues. Usually, a conversation between the Business leadership team and Technology. 3) We use SODA to detect shifts in our data that feed our machine-learning models. This will inform us that we should consider retraining or reevaluating the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Soda has a great learning curve. It's easy to understand and the documentation has great details for development. The best part is introducing checks on data sources! It's very easy to introduce verifications using yaml files and scanning tables with provided commands, instead of writing extensive sql. The output is effortles to read and understand. Definitely a wonderful tool for both developers and non-developers working with data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Soda? It is not-so-straightforward to perform data sampling on failing rows during data validation. You would need to implement your own mechanism to keep sensitive data within the network while trying to extract necessary information. Also, the retention for resulting data (from the validation process) has a limit to 90 days; if you need longer retention you would need to engineer your own data storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Soda solving and how is that benefiting you? We wish to ensure that the data is valid, fresh, matches the expected conditions, and accounts for any schema change. We run a platform for buying/selling ads; precision of data is important for billing and reporting purposes. We lose money if we under-deliver or over-deliver. So, data validation is crucial here as it directly impact revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RW Rob W. Head of Data Products Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/14/2023 "Great data quality tool for technically capable teams" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Soda? Soda forms the backbone of our data quality framework and approach and provides a number of great capabilities: - Everything is code-driven, allows us to version/manage tests easily - Syntax is yml, easy for dbt users to understand how to write tests (and colocate them with dbt code) - Nature of the library (python, open source) has allowed us to extend it easily to make it work WITH our existing tools, not requiring yet another tool to access - Team is absolutely wonderful to work with, lovely people and highly responsive To frame our usage: we have implemented several thousand tests across every part of our data stack and it is used by multiple data engineering, analytics engineering, and analytics teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Soda? - There's more of a learning curve than GUI-driven tools, which has made onboarding less technical users challenging - Some basics that would take advantage of the code-driven architecture (for example, templating org custom tests similar to dbt macros) are still under development. This means we have to write complex SQL tests repeatedly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Soda solving and how is that benefiting you? We are using soda to: - Validate data quality end-to-end on our pipelines - Monitor data drift of metrics and customer expectations to proactively catch unexpected change - Automate observability (integrated into datahub) - Encourage our teams to think about data quality when creating new data products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/27/2023 "Smooth experience with SodaSQL (now Soda Core)" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Soda? I enjoyed writing checks in an SQL dialect and SodaSQL made it seamless for me to write checks in SQL, review it for potential customers, and made narrowed down their choice for a DQ tool to just two. I loved the docs as well. It was pretty easy to get started, and community members were helpful when I had issues with writing sample custom checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Soda? I found it helpful a lot, but since I did not use it in production in anyway, so I have not figured out what I do not like yet. I would have said maybe setting it up could have come with a smoother experience, but it's been about a year now, and there is Soda Cloud too, so a lot would definetly have changed.

Effortless database coverage and data quality checks, fostering collaboration between Data and Quality Engineers for enhanced data reliability. Seamless integration with Slack, Snowflake, and Jira, combined with comprehensive built-in metrics, ensures effective data quality monitoring and tracking, while the SODA Cloud API facilitates historical check analysis. user-friendly interface, setup process, and compatibility with diverse data sources underscore its adaptability, making it a robust solution for addressing data quality challenges.

We've been playing around with Soda.io for our data quality checks, and I've gotta say, it's pretty cool. It feels like it goes a step beyond what we were doing with dbt tests. It's kind of like giving our data a deeper health check, making sure we catch those sneaky issues that might slip past us otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Soda? It could step up its game in the anomaly detection department. It would be awesome if Soda could be a tad sharper in spotting those oddballs. For example, sudden spikes in events (up or down) compared to historical trends or seasonality would be very useful to get alerted on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Soda solving and how is that benefiting you? After we've run our models dbt test, Soda does additional data quality tests. For example on column and schema checks, freshness, and cross-model data checks. Also being able to add thresholds for warn and error are useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JP Juan P. Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/13/2023 "Soda one of the best Data Quality frameworks for Structured data" 5/5 What do you like best about Soda? I'm a big fan of how Soda, dbt tests, and the Soda Agent for AWS come together so seamlessly. Also Soda's custom tests give you the freedom to fine-tune your data quality process with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Soda? If you are looking for a Data Quality framework that handles Unstructured data, SODA is not the right option for you, at least at this moment they dont support NoSQL Engines (Example MongoDB, DynamoDB, ElasticSearch...) .
