Data, data pipelines, infrastructure and compute, cost, usage/users
All zones - Landing, enrichment, and consumption
Catch issues and anomalies early

Limited OOTB quality rules covering duplicate, freshness, schema, and volume.
No support for pipelines, compute and usage/users.
Very limited and rigid integrations across data landscape
Depth and breadth of data observability coverage
Granular coverage of wide variety of metrics
Data: Data quality, reconciliation, lineage, data drift, schema drift, freshness, data cadence and data anomalies.
Pipeline: Auto discovery, pipeline lineage, run status, alerts, policies
Compute: Compute sizing and optimization, query fingerprinting and optimization, data partitioning and clustering optimization, best practices, etc
Users: Workload usage, alerts, recommendations
Cost: Spend by org unit, query level spend, chargebacks, forecasting, etc
Very limited data quality functionality with a focus on data freshness and basic data check. Missing numerous pillars of data observability
Data: Focused on data freshness, duplicates, volume, and data schema only.

Create complex logic and checks with standard coding languages (Python, Scala, Java, JavaScript)
Policy reuse and usage analytics
Custom rules with SQL expressions only. No ability to leverage the full power of code
OOTB and ML-based assigned SQL rules
SQL based custom rules only
No ability to create rules using coding languages

ML-based recommendations; Custom rules limited to SQL expressions
Unavailable
Limited to only learned data, no human inputs into rule building based on business requirements
Enforced dependency on ML-rules only, no human guardrails
30x reduction in data investigation time
Detecting, isolating, and resolving issues at the source
Visual data lineage and deep metrics at each hop to identify data problem source and causes
Visibility into the full data lifecycle from source files in the landing zone through the consumption zone tables ensure you get fresh and complete data to meet SLAs
Data observability for files, databases, clusters, warehouses, tables, columns
On-premises and cloud data sources
Full data tracking from landing through consumption
Root cause analysis only shows where an anomaly has occurred in the data lineage map across tables. Does not provide insights into the cause of the issue or remediation steps.
Limited integrations and no monitoring beyond the interactions with databases or data warehouse
Limited on-premises and cloud data sources
Limited data tracking for databases and warehouses interactions
Observe data pipeline and infrastructure behavior and performance
Observability into the behavior, performance, and reliability of the data and infrastructure pipeline
No monitoring of the underlying data pipeline. Only observes data table changes and looks for attributes around freshness, volume, and schema changes. It shows data lineage relationships at the table level.
No true pipeline metrics. Defines data pipeline as data freshness, volume and schema changes when interacting with tables only
No infrastructure metrics
Alert, quarantine, and circuit breaker policies isolate bad data and prevent downstream impacts
Better data quality with data lineage and trace back from the data warehouse to the data entry point (landing zone). Automatically detect and root cause issues before they become expensive and time consuming to fix.
