See how Datafold is used by leading data-driven organizations
"Datafold encourages good behavior. We value moving fast over doing things absolutely perfectly the first time. So we would just not do the right thing. Datafold helps us do the right thing".

"Datafold's column-level lineage gives confidence in the whole system. If my stakeholders ask “why is this dashboard out of date?” I can answer in 25 seconds instead of digging through pull requests for hours. As a product owner, I can understand how the rest of the company makes decisions based on the data we produce. It brings data confidence and visibility to the company".
"Datafold's Data Diff is the missing piece of the puzzle for data quality assurance. When I first heard about Datafold, all I could think was “Finally!” - it’s an unspoken problem that we all know about and no one wants to talk about. Datafold gives us full confidence when we ship changes into production, which historically I couldn’t say about PRs".
"The proactive features reduce the need for alerts, but some changes are out of our control and alerts can give a ping. Anomaly detection lets me know instantly that there was no Facebook spend the day before, instead of having to look at 20+ Tableau dashboards, to immediately see and know that something is going on".
"You can see right off the bat whether your data quality is what you were expecting, and reviewers can see it, too. Now we’re at the rate where we’re automating code reviews, or close to it, on 100 pull requests per month. And this is just the start".
"We front loaded the validation to be on the model level, when those things are reliable, everything downstream becomes trustworthy. This made it much easier to debug if a report looks weird. It means that the problem is most certainly on the Mode side or in the code generating the report instead of the datasets".
"Datafold is like a booster shot… you get extra protection and security when you make changes".
"With Datafold, we're not just adding trust to our Snowflake instance, we're adding trust to our most important data that is getting activated via Hightouch."
"Datafold allows real visibility into data changes before the changes are live, reducing mistakes and enabling our analysts and stakeholders to feel confident in their changes.".
