Performance of IBM Databand Across Market Features

IBM Databand Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I appreciate most about IBM Databand is how easily it brings transparencyyo our data workflows. It provides a clear, consolidated view of pipeline performance and quickly highlights any irregularities or potential issues. The platform's ability to surface root-cause information and its smart notification features makes it much simpler to stay ahead of problems and maintain smooth data operations.

Like

The tool has a strong focus on data observability and proactive monitoring and that is very much appreciated.

Like

Realtime monitoring - Its proactive alerting mechanism helps prevent bad data from reaching production or analytics layer, Another standout feature is its ability to trace the source of data issues - whether its schema drift, missing data, or late jobs - drastically reducing time taken for troubleshooting.

Dislike

1. The tool doesn't have a flexible calendar for monitoring processes across different timeframes; currently, it only allows viewing daily processes, which excludes a large amount of data flow. 2. Databand does not allow for observability of Cloud Run processes, it would be interesting to adopt this type flow while maintaining the data lineage, which is of high value.

Dislike

We have a highly customized data environment so we encountered some significant issues when it came to integration and configuration.

Dislike

While the integration is very promising, the initial configuration may require some engineering effort, especially in hybrid or legacy environments.
