Synq brings together individual monitors to work together as one. A table multi-metrics monitor with laser precision, 24/7.

  • Five monitors working as one
    Five monitors (freshness, volume, bite size, schema, growth) act as one, capturing every issue. Including missing data loads, empty data loads, decreased ingestion, broken schema or missing data.
  • More meaningful alerts and notifications
    The combined monitor works with derived metrics such as data delay and growth to detect more meaningful patterns and can separate missing load from empty one.

Complement your table monitors with custom monitors that power even deeper analysis of your data.

Volume Monitor

Tracks data size changes, quickly spotting and alerting on anomalies.

Volume Growth Monitor

Ensures data growth follows expected patterns, guarding against irregularities.

Freshness Monitor

Checks that data updates arrive on schedule, ensuring timeliness.

Distribution Monitor

Alerts to shifts in data distribution, safeguarding inputs/outputs of ML models.

Custom SQL Monitor

Take aim with precisely placed monitors

The broad-brush mass monitoring of data warehouses (which leads to alert overload) should be consigned to history. Synq is pioneering an era of precision monitoring, with the deployment of monitors to where they provide the most value.

  • Automate placement with dbt metadata
    Use dbt tags and metadata to control where monitors deploy.
  • Rely on monitors upstream of critical data
    Defend your critical data use cases with monitors automatically provisioned upstream.
  • Monitor all data sources with a few clicks
    Ensure all data arrives to your data platform with monitors that auto-deploy to every new dbt source.

FAQs

How does Synq work?

Synq is the data reliability platform for teams that own business-critical data. Synq delivers precise anomaly detection, a robust ownership model, incident management and issue resolution for teams that power business-critical use cases.

Is Synq a SaaS-based solution or on-prem?

Synq is a cloud tool (run on Google Cloud) that can be accessed directly through your web browser from anywhere.

How long does it take to get up and running on Synq?

Less than 30 minutes! New Synq customers often can’t quite believe this when they hear it. But the way Synq is architected means you can start using the platform and improving your data reliability in the time it takes to make and drink a cup of coffee.

How does Synq pricing work?

We have three pricing tiers to suit businesses at different stages of their data-reliability journey.

Do you provide platform training or support?

Yes. We’re data experts that love collaborating with and helping data teams. Our support team is here to handle urgent issues. And we offer a consultative service to help you get the most out of the Synq platform. We approach each case looking at business problems, not just tool problems. We help our clients to understand what’s really business-critical, how well it’s working, and how to ensure that any critical impact is prioritized.

Can someone give me a demonstration?

Yes, you can request a demo here (with an actual data expert, not a salesperson). Or if you’re in a rush to find out how Synq works, you can check out our YouTube channel.

How do I get started?

Quickly and easily. After you’ve been assigned a Synq workspace, just follow these steps for the optimal setup.

How often do you update the platform?

Synq continuously innovates and ships quickly so our customers can manage their business-critical data more easily and efficiently. From column-core lineage, to prioritized incident management, to automated alerts that link between incidents and critical data products – where we lead, the market follows.

How secure is Synq?

Absolutely. Synq adheres to SOC2 and GDPR regulations. Our design and operations prioritise security, ensuring the safeguarding of individual systems and information through cryptographic controls. We are hosted on Google Cloud (GCP/Europe) and encryption is applied by default to all data in transit and at rest. (for what its worth, we've been successfully onboarded by a major bank, and we all know how strict they are!)

What is Synq’s data-retention policy?

Customer data is retained for as long as the account is in active status. Data enters an “expired” state when the account is voluntarily closed. Expired account data will be retained for 28 calendar days. After this period, the account and related data will be removed. Check out our data policy here.

How do you get started with the Synq developer API?

The Synq API is available for developers to manage certain functionalities using custom workflows. Synq exposes its API as gRPC services. This means that the API is as easy to use as calling functions from your code.
