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.

IBM Databand provides me real time monitoring of my data pipelines which helps me to take serious action when something happens so I can catch it before it affects my team and its dashboard is very simple and clean, easy to read and I am impressed how easily accessible the pipeline health is.

Like

I love the real time alerting that is provides and also the automated data collection.

Dislike

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

Dislike

I hate it bombarded me with alerts which sometimes turn out to be false also sometimes i get lost while drilling the pipeline structure and I wish it could make navigation better.

Dislike

I enjoyed the website, there are no complaints.
