Data Analyst Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "When data quality and real-time matters" June 24, 2021 5.0 Very satisfied Pros It is very transparent as it is an open source software. We set up the validation rules, data modeling rules and data schema, so all in all it is very personalizable. During the onboarding process we got a lot of help from the success team, they were (and still are) really helpful. Cons You need some data engineers and architects to set up the data pipelines internally to on-premise datalake or to other marketing tools. It is not particularly Snowplow's fault, you just have to calculate with this issue if your company has strict security standards. It would be the same with other tools as well. Reason for choosing Snowplow BDP We did not switch, we just completed our tool stack, but when it is about web and app data quality, we prefer now Snowplow data over Google Analytics. Snowplow is an enabler for real-time BI use cases as well. Review Source WP W.R P.

June 24, 2021 5.0 Pros I love the Data Structures functionality, and its relative ease to release new schemas in production. This cut our development and deployment time by 10x. Cons The infrastructure section could do with an upgrade. Currently, not sure what to make of it or how useful it is. Perhaps it would be great to see some health attributes / data metrics through it, to understand what is going on, a deeper level. Review Source PN Panji N.
