Y42 Reviews & Product Details

Complete user interface, with lots of thoughtful details to help you get things done faster and get better visibility on your data transformations

Compared to dbt cloud, Y42 really helps me manage seamlessly different environments (prod & dev) for both my code and the data created by the code

Seamless transition form dbt

Easy to get started, whether you are used to dbt project management or not

Very reactive customer support, excellent communication regarding projects, challenges, bugs, updates

Excellent documentation

Great onboarding process (with the Y42 team and thanks to the "Get Started" menu embeded in the UI) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A couple of bugs with some pipelines running for too long (but very reactive customer support)

Can be intimidating at first (there are a lot of components and features to get used to) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are only very few things I dislike about Y42.

- Pricing could become an issue as you scale, depending on the overall size of your DWH and corresponding workloads. Apparently, they want to review their pricing models, and I know them to be open to negotiation, though.

- As early adopters, we had to do multiple migrations due to fundamental overhauls of their product. However, with V3, I think that risk is minimized and updates should no longer be that fundamental. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Couples dbt with additional functionalities. Probably the easiest way to get cost efficient data integration. Highly responsive and helpful support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still takes some time to fully mature. There are some small issues you run into here and there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because data loading and transformations are packaged in the same box, it allows us to configure and see the health of our entire pipeline in one tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All startups including Y42 experience some growing pains. However, issues are resolved very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The IDE in general with intelligence built into many features

- Lineage adjusting live while your changing models

- Adding dbt tests via UI automatically translated to code

- The 3 developer modes are amazing: code, lineage, and catalog

- Change logs and rollbacks are quite helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- You need to get used to the Y42 logic of “stateful data assets”

- Doesn’t support Python models but it seems to be on their roadmap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is super didactic and simple to use, and at the same time powerful. The new version came with great new features, like the possibility to use jinja, it helps us a lot in data manipulation. We are looking forward to testing the publish module with cube.dev. - Another point that I could not fail to comment on is the quality of the support offered, the support team is very agile and willing to help.

No dislikes at the moment. All the integrations we need are in the tool, the modeling is easy to use and the orchestration even easier. A possible improvement could be the creation of a module for reverse ETL, such as sending json to rudderstack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Y42 was great in letting us stitch together our multiple data sources. It also helped us with running automated scripts that updated our data, our analytics, and even exported and updated insights into a Google Sheets. The customer support was great as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface to create dashboard and to query data was daunting at first and sometimes unintuitive but after getting used to it, was easy to use. Also wished it supported more db services but I was told that is coming soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Y42 offers us not only a way to consolidate data from different data sources in a single place, but also to create data models that represent data in a meaningful way. On top of that their Customer Success team is always available and provides quick solutions for blockers with their dev-team, or where needed, interim solutions until a technical implementation can be realized.

While the tool is in an amazing state right now from a pure BI perspective, the usability for end users can sometimes still be challenging and has a certain learning curve to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrates seamlessly with multiple data sources & once set up, you can visualize data in every way possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a learning curve, but the customer success team helped each step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
