Coalesce.io is used as a main platform for developing ETL pipelines.
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Coalesce.io allows you to create ETL pipelines in a low-code approach. It natively supports templates for integrating with different systems and is built to deeply integrate with Snowflake.
Coalesce.io is a very complete platform because it also integrates all the tools needed for building CI/CD pipelines and an AI agent to support developers in their activities.
Coalesce.io has impacted our organization positively by providing a low-code approach. It supports different sources, so we don't need to write custom code. It is also a collaborative tool, making it suitable for teams with a large number of developers.
What needs improvement?
At the moment, the only improvement I see is deeper support for AI agents to support the developer's job.
Coalesce.io is a very complete platform, but it could be an even better product if it supported more developer jobs, speeding up development.
For how long have I used the solution?
Coalesce.io has been used for one year and a half.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Coalesce.io is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
As far as I have seen, Coalesce.io is very scalable. In case of excessive load, we can easily handle it by adding more resources.
How are customer service and support?
When Coalesce.io needs to be updated or maintained, we need to declare the maintenance window. We cannot use the tool during maintenance, but we try to keep maintenance time low to avoid any issues.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not use any solution before Coalesce.io. We used a more raw approach for development and deploying on Snowflake. That's why we decided to standardize, improve, and be more efficient with development by introducing Coalesce.io.
How was the initial setup?
The setup of Coalesce.io was not complex, and the licensing is very clear.
What about the implementation team?
We were provided with official documentation and also had some introductory courses and lessons by support.
What was our ROI?
Unfortunately, I don't have any numbers to share, but Coalesce.io had a very good impact on development and was very appreciated by the development team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Different tools were evaluated as far as I know. I did not participate directly in the selection, and I cannot say what other tools were compared.
What other advice do I have?
Developers can share within Coalesce.io.
I would rate Coalesce.io as nine out of ten.
We do not track any metrics at the moment.
Coalesce.io is deployed in a private cloud.
When Coalesce.io needs to be updated or maintained, we must declare the maintenance window. We cannot use the tool during maintenance, but we try to keep maintenance time low to prevent any issues.
I don't have much information about security features.
Coalesce.io offers capabilities that we managed to use, but we also use external tools.
The Coalesce.io integration was planned to be smooth because before it, we used another tool, so we had to migrate what we had on the previous tool to Coalesce.io and then switch off when everything was done.
I suggest Coalesce.io to everyone who wants a collaborative environment deeply integrated with Snowflake that supports developers in their job.
