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

1. Easy integration with existing application architecture. 2. Real-time visibility into your data pipeline that is very useful for detecting errors in advance. 3. It automatically detects the metadata that is responsible for the datasets.

Like

1. End to End Monitoring feature of Data Band lets us monitor the entire data pipeline helping us to track the dataflow, detect anomalies and ensure the accuracy and reliability of our data. 2. Automated issue detection: It uses machine learning algorithms to detect any anomalies or issues inside our data pipelines and can automatically detect failures. 3. It offers a variety of monitoring tools that help detect data inconsistencies, missing values and schema drifts which are necessary to maintain healthy datasets.

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

1. I think the user interface can be more user friendly or interactive. 2. cost can be higher for a smaller team like ours. 3. self error resolution mechanism is not there.

Dislike

1. Organizations with less complex data architecture may find this product an over engineered solution. 2. The product is very expensive for a smaller organization like ours. 3. Dependency on IBM ecosystem: Organizations that do not use IBM products already can find challenging to use full features of the product.
