  ### 4. Ensuring high quality data delivered to customers

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim J. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Easy to setup actionable alerts. As a company using data and ML to provide value to our customers, it's critital that we get notified and can act fast on any quality issues happening to the data we get from our customers. With Validio it was easy to setup validations based on dimensions in the data such as integartion type, making it easy to take action on alerts when they come.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

We have pretty specific requirements for reporting, so being able to modify the out-of-the-box reporting even more would be nice.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio helps us monitor data quality across our pipelines end to end. From data received by customers to internal transformations and insights shared back to the customers.

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Thank you Tim! Glad you're enjoying the swift setup and alerts that let you leap into action. We hear you on the reporting—more customization is on the horizon!

  ### 5. Superb alerting system for third party data

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Elvin G. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about Validio?**

"Very easy to set up a 'standard' set of validation programatically for any new dataset that we bring into our platform

Super knowledgable and helpful support. Validio understands our business and how their platform can help us achieve what we nned

Highly performant – the ML thresholds can provide accurate monitoring on very high volumes of data"

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Would have been nice with more customizability when it comes to filtering segments used for validations

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Validio to monitor our data pipelines, provide alerts when things go wrong, and help us understand what went wrong

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Thanks Elvin for your review! Happy to hear our alerting system and support meet your needs. We're currently working on enhancing customization for segment filtering. It will be included in our next release - stay tuned!

  ### 6. High quality tools for high quality data

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rafael C. | Senior Data Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 30, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

The product is extremely effective at what it sets out to do with respect to identify and alerting upon anomalous data. While the lineage and RCA capabilities are still being developed and are not perfect, they are still extremely useful at helping identify data quality issues.

The Validio team is extremely hard-working and intelligent, which is reflected in their customer success teams' abilities to tailor examples to specific use-cases. We would not be nearly as far along in our data quality initiative without the support of the team.

The user interface is fairly easy to use -- it takes seconds to get a validator set up and running.

Validio integrates with Slack and other downstream BI tools to give a holistic view of where poor data quality may impact the business.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

The complexity of implementation is highly correlated with the complexity of the business's data, which can make it challenging to implement effectively for those specific use cases.

The user interface can be unwieldy when making more complicated validators. It could benefit from tooltips and inline documentation.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio helps our business users validate the data quality of our investment positions. Building trust in this data is key as we have had persistent data quality issues from our providers in the past, and Validio helps us do that. Over time, this data trust is used by the business to have higher confidence about investment and trading decisions.

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Dear Rafael,

Appreciate your detailed review! We're glad that Validio is playing a pivotal role in your data quality initiative, and we're keen to enhance our UI and documentation based on your feedback.

Best,
The Validio Team

  ### 7. Our reports have become much better since Validio

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oscar D. | Lead Business Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

I like the whole workflow with the platform. Catalogue and Lineage to be able to see where the data comes from for our more important reports. 

Data quality & Obeservability where we can do in-depth monitoring to catch any inconsistencies, deviations or other errors in the data we've identified as important.
 
I was also impressed by the system performance. We have quite large data sets. Despite that, Validio is able to do a scan and understand the underlying data in a few seconds

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

It would be great to get some more inline documentation in certain places

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Validio to catch and resolve any issues related to any important reports (both external and internal) . It's been used as a catalyst to drive overall better data practices, e.g. clearer data ownership, discoverability, SLA's

  ### 8. When reality actually meets high expectations!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

We like the machine learning based data quality thresholds that catch anomalies and are derived from our historical data and produced within a few seconds

It's very convenient that I can set up all the validation via code, but that there still is a GUI where business stakeholders can see for themselves how the data qualty thresholds look like 

Validio also has a really helpful team, that guides us through any issues.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

There is a bit of tweaking to get the machine learning based data quality thresholds just right, but it's pretty quick.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio helps us feel more secure that the data we use is correct. If it is not correct, it will let us know right away and it also helps us understand what went wrong.

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Dear David,

Thrilled to hear Validio's ML thresholds and our supportive team are making a significant difference for you! Thanks for the feedback; continuous refinement is key to perfection.

Best,
The Validio Team

  ### 9. Great product & solid team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marcus S. | Senior Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

I really like how Validio lets you dive deep into the data and spot problems early, before they blow up. It's super easy to get it set up, and you barely have to fuss with it afterward because it automatically adjusts to how your data changes. Plus, the team behind it is always ready to help, making it feel more like you're working together with them rather than just using their software.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Not much too be honest. Don't feel like their product is really missing any features I need.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio has been a game changer for us by scaling up our data quality efforts across the company. It makes it so much easier to work with our teams on improving our data, understanding how everything connects, and figuring out what we need from everyone to keep getting better. Most importantly, it's boosted our confidence in our data, which really helps everyone make better decisions more confidently. Furthermore, the proactive data monitoring makes me sleep better at night, knowing that if there are no alarms from Validio our data (feeding ML models) is good!

  ### 10. Superb data quality and observability securely deployed

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

- Data governance: We can assign data owners, who can then set up very granular, but highly automated data quality monitoring on the sources they own.
- The data owners can collaborate easily as they see the data quality across the data lineage
- Validio can monitor data on a very granular level, looking at the actual data within our data tables and detecting issues on subsets of the data. This saves us a ton of time. 
- The platform is also really easy to set up and maintain over time. It just loads in months of data in a few seconds and then continues to learn as more data comes in over time.
- Also really liked that we could deploy securely (VPC) with no data leaving our environments

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Not really much to say here – really liked the platform!

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used Validio for multiple purposes. Both for data discovery and governance and to detect data quality issues in our data. It is incredibly good at discovering relevant data and tell us which ones are being used by other stakeholders within the organization. It also automates the detection of relevant data quality issues within our data that would otherwise need thourough investigation and manual rule-writing to detect. Having that level of detection continuously running is incredibly valuable.

  ### 11. Great for detecting data drifts on streaming data for ML use cases

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Straight forward and quick to set up data validation

Easy to adjust the automatic data validations and to layer additional static and automatic validations on top

Really nice that it supports streaming data, so I can catch any issues in real time

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Some of the more advanced validators (e.g. comparing the distribution of the data on one source versus another) was a bit tricky to set up, but the docs were really good

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Validio to continuously check the data that is being used for my model, and the data that my model outputs. When an issue occurs, I get notified and I can easily go into the platform and figure out what happened

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Great to hear that Validio's setup process and streaming data support are hitting the mark for you, making real-time data validation smooth. Your feedback on advanced validators is invaluable as we strive to further simplify setup processes.

Best,
The Validio Team

  ### 12. Best Data Observability Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Avery B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Validio was extremely easy to get set up with. We were able to go from the POV stage to immediate value in our business within a day. Additionally, the very deep level at which it tracks data trends and anomalies is more robust than other comparable tools we saw on the market. The fact that it effectively accounts for time series trends was key for our business. Finally, the team is a pleasure to work with. They are extremely responsive to questions and feedback, and they are happy to take our input and suggestions when considering what to put on the roadmap.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

They are slightly newer than some more established players on the market, so they have slightly less feature coverage in some areas. But these areas are more collateral and aren't as important to our business.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio helps us, in an automated, low effort way, monitor all the data that is coming to us. The time spent to value gained ratio is extremely favorable to us - we are able to surface really important insights with minimal effort.

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Hi Avery,

It's fantastic to hear about your swift and impactful journey with Validio, particularly our tool's robust data tracking and our team's responsiveness. We're committed to expanding our feature set, inspired by valued user feedback like yours.

Warm regards,
The Validio Team

  ### 13. Validio saves us a ton of time setting up our data validation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kristina B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Before Validio, we were using Great Expectations to manage our data validation and try to catch anomalies and bad data early. However, it was very cumbersome.

It was very slow, took a lot of time, and you had to have a lot of assumptions about the data to be able to say how many rows you expect, columns you expect, categories, etc. Not only is generating these assumptions difficult when you are only starting with sample data, but getting to the know the data well enough to have these kind of assumptions also takes a lot of time. 

This really made it difficult for our engineers to set up good validation rules. So a lot of the time, our pipelines would fail because we were setting up too stringent rules. Or on the other hand, we weren't setting up stringent enough rules and then we weren't catching the problems early enough.

With Validio, we have none of that anymore. It just works!

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

I don't think I have anything to say here! The Validio team is extremely responsive and timely, and very open to feedback and feature requests.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio has freed us from doing cumbersome, time consuming tasks, and dealing with erroneous errors arising from poor validation setup. That means we can spend more time doing what we really love to do: fine tuning our models and making machine learning magic happen!

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Dear Kristina,

What a joy to hear how Validio has streamlined your validation process and let you focus on the exciting work of fine-tuning your models! We're here to support your drive toward machine learning excellence.

Best,
The Validio Team

  ### 14. Restful nights thanks to Validio's active monitoring of our critical data

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2023

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Prior to Validio, we used a popular OSS tool for data validation, but it was slow and required detailed data assumptions, making it challenging for engineers to establish effective validation rules. Validio stood out as a clear upgrade by learning from the underlying data at a very deep level, taking into account things like seasonality, to save precious engineering time.

The speed with which Validio can process our data and deliver results is tremendous. It can do 100s of millions of records a minute. For a company with our scale and SLAs it’s hugely valuable. The sooner we know there’s an issue with our data the better.

One thing that impresses me with Validio is the ease of use to set it up. We’re using the API to connect, set up a standard of testing and build it into the core of our products.

Validio has really good configurality. We're using the API and it's really easy for our product team to connect that in some standardized checks and really build that into the core of our product

Validio produced really good results in detecting anomalies, both in overall drift, and drift by segments. 

Validio can automatically look at this data, account for seasonality, learn trends, and not bug us with a lot of noise or issues related to typically seasonality problems 

The partnership is very strong and it's been a great process, and they've been great collaborators

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Not much to mention. The team has been very receptive to our needs by incorporating our early feedback into their roadmap. These features have now been delivered to allow us to enable Validio more systemically within our product. On the rare occasion we've encountered a minor defect the Validio team have been quick to respond and address the issue to our satisfaction.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio helps us, in an automated, low effort way, monitor the data flowing through our platform. This saves us a lot of time and is both easier and more scalable. Our prior approach was difficult to scale. Validio has changed that

With Validio deeply integrated into our product, it's now a hands-off process and we actually don't have to spend any engineering resources to incrementally add a new customer to our platform. Validio augments our product.

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Thank you Brian,

Your review perfectly captures the essence of what Validio is all about: efficiency, in-depth monitoring, and robust automation. It's gratifying to know that you're experiencing restful nights and scalable solutions with our system, and we truly appreciate your acknowledgment of our partnership and collaboration.

Warm regards,
The Validio Team

  ### 15. Peace of mind with automatic monitoring and alerting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Still figuring out more use cases, but Validio has been very useful for us in terms of market monitoring and daily detection of anomalies.

The anomaly detection in combination with the Slack alerts is nice. We have been using for market KPI monitoring, the tool also allows monitoring on multi-dimensions combined.

I also like that the validators (monitors) I set up are trained instantly on our historical data. This makes any tweaking needed much quicker.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Validio is comparably new, there has been still a lot of incoming updates. It is not difficult to use at all but, general UX/UI can be improved for better user experiences.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Daily market status monitoring and data quality validation

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Thrilled to hear Validio is enhancing your market KPI monitoring with our instant, historical data-trained validators. We appreciate your feedback on the UX/UI; rest assured, it drives our ongoing enhancements.

Best,
The Validio Team

  ### 16. Helps us stay on top of deviations in business metrics and catch data quality issues.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Validio is perfect for catching anomalies and deviating trends in our data. It adapts to underlying seasonality in our data and learns over time

The Slack notifications helps us stay ontop of both quality issues with our data and business critical changes over time

It is also very helpful that we can deploy in our own cloud environemnt. Since all our data is highly sensitive we don't want the data to leave our environment.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Nothing really, but we're excited to see the team continously improve the smartness in their anomaly detection algorithms

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Validio allows us to spend less time looking through dashboards and double checking numbers

  ### 17. Customer oriented support

**What do you like best about Validio?**

Ability to support many use-case scenarios for alerting.
The developers' team is interested in fixing problems and adding new functionality.

**What do you dislike about Validio?**

Maybe it would be nice to have more built-in guidelines.

**What problems is Validio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sending alerts in case of anomalies in the data.

**Official Response from Emil Bring:**

> Dear Evgeniia,

Thank you for your insights! We're on it to improve guidelines and thrilled our alerting features meet your needs.

Best,
