Structured data only
Basic data source integrations
Rigid data ecosystem design
Observability for repositories, pipelines, compute, and usage across all zones. 5 pillars of data observability as defined by Gartner
Supports all 5 pillars of data observability as defined by Gartner
Data, data pipelines, infrastructure and compute, cost, usage/users
Landing zone, enrichment zone, and consumption zone
Catch issues & anomalies early
Observes data in cloud and on-premises but limited in what it observes.
Observes freshness, volume and schema
No support for pipelines, compute and usage/users.
Focus is in the consumption zone looking at how data trends or behaves over time via statistical modeling.
Consumption zone only
Identify issues at consumption zone which increases costs for identification and fixes
Depth and breadth of data observability coverage
Granular coverage of wide variety of metrics
Data: Data quality, data reconciliation, data lineage, data drift, schema drift, data 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.
Limited reliability functionality with a focus on freshness and volume support only for Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift
Data: Focused on monitoring freshness and volume.
Pipeline: Does not monitor
Compute: Does not monitor
Users: Does not monitor
Cost: Does not monitor
100% Data Quality coverage
Run 1000s of unique data quality checks daily on exabyte scale data.
Ability to create, run, and manage data checks on-prem and cloud needed for enterprise scale
Architected and field-tested to support the scale of large enterprises
Distributed architecture for parallel execution and capacity across entire data landscape
Policy execution decoupled from the data
Shift left of quality rules detect issues at source
Field proven policy capacity and performance at exabyte scale
Bigeye has limited out of the box data quality checks and scaling capacity. They are focused on data drift. Most quality checks need to be custom created.
Agent on customer VPC
Policy execution decoupled for data but limited number of policies based on shape of data
Very limited ability to shift left due to fewer integrations
Scales to 50k+ tables, but quality rule count, data size and time to execute is unknown
Create sophisticated custom business rules and policies
Business and regulatory requirements can be highly complex and disparate, having the full flexibility of programming code simplifies compliance
Create policies using OOTB rules or custom SQL
Create complex logic and checks with standard coding languages (Python, Scala, Java, JavaScript)
Policy reuse and usage analytics
Bigeye is unable to create rules and policies leveraging the full power of code.
Create policies using OOTB rules (limited) or custom SQL
No ability to create rules using coding languages
Limited reuse capabilities around rules metrics(rules) and collections(policy).
Automatic recommendations for data policy assignments and enforcement
Acceldata provides automatic recommendations for data rules and policies to quickly increase your data quality
Model based engine recommends policies based on data profiling
Identifies gaps for remediation based on similar fields in multiple datasets
Continuous AI/ML learning engine based on profiles, rules library and derived auto-tags
Optional human in the loop guardrails and approvals for AI/ML recommendation and rules
Bigeye provides some recommendations, but the scope of coverage is limited and may not reflect the needs of an enterprise wide tool.
Recommended metrics are limited and basic around freshness, volume, and schema
Identifies gaps, but limited in scope and coverage
Will detect new columns and schema, but limited model capabilities
Basic human in the loop limited to approve/reject metrics and thresholds
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
Complete data lineage and instrumentation enables easy and quick identification of the root cause of data problems. Lineage and observability metrics include:
Monitors files, databases, clusters, warehouses, tables, and columns
On-premises and cloud data sources
Full data tracking from landing through consumption
Bigeye data lineage is focused on data table and column lineage and lacks visibility into the landing zone making it difficult to monitor freshness and completeness
Data tracking for the consumption zone only
Not available
Not available
Observability into the behavior, performance, and reliability of the data and infrastructure pipeline
Acceldata sees and tracks the full data and infrastructure pipeline lineage across the data landscape (landing, enrichment, consumption) for both on-premise and cloud. Ensuring fresh, complete and timely data for business decisions
Does not monitor the underlying data pipeline for issues. Only observes data table changes and looks at attributes for freshness, volume, and schema changes
No true pipeline metrics. Defines data pipeline metrics as data freshness and volume changes
No infrastructure metrics
Alert, quarantine, and circuit breaker policies isolate bad data and prevent downstream impacts
Get better data quality from the start with lineage and trace back from the data warehouse to the entry of data (landing zone). Automatically detect and root cause issues before they get expensive and time consuming to fix
Real-time alert, notifications, and throttling (noise)
Quarantine Policy
Circuit Breaker
Bigeye shift left capabilities cost more time and money as it starts and ends at the data warehouse, unable to get to your files and input sources
Notification for email, Slack, Jira, and other channels with throttling
No data quarantine policy
No circuit breaker
