Competitive Position

vs Acceldata

Monte Carlo is ranked #1 in G2 for data observability with better field-level lineage and AI-based incident detection. Acceldata is a high-performance monitoring solution for large scale enterprises however it will require a customized quote similar to Monte Carlo.

Because of this, Monte Carlo is much better suited to modern data stacks and rapid development whereas Acceldata would be best for very large scale legacy environments.

vs Orchestra

Orchestra is focused on workflow orchestration and observability, whereas Monte Carlo is specialized in pure data observability. Monte Carlo has a greater breadth of industry recognition (#1 G2) and greater than 500 customers.

For organizations that have dedicated data quality teams, Monte Carlo will be a better choice than Orchestra because of its focus on data quality. Conversely, if an organization requires integrated orchestration needs, Orchestra will be a better fit.

vs Datafold

Datafold is highly effective in change management for dbt/ prisma and Monte Carlo provides coverage for the entire lake/warehouse/EDW ecosystem. Monte Carlo has greater enterprise features. Beginning of Text

Similarly, for organizations that use multiple platforms, Monte Carlo will be a better option than Datafold. This is because Monte Carlo provides a unified view of data quality across all platforms used. On the other hand, Datafold is specifically designed for DBT-centric teams.

vs Great Expectations

The open-source testing framework in Great Expectations has to be significantly engineered to make it operationally viable.

Finally, for organizations that require a turn-key enterprise level solution for observability, Monte Carlo will be a better fit. If however, an organization requires a customized/open-source solution for observability, then Great Expectations will be a better fit.

Faq

How can I discover which API calls populate the Monte Carlo UI?

Monte Carlo has provided the Apollo Chrome Extension. This extension allows users to identify what API Calls were made to populate the UI. By looking at the MC page, and then selecting the Apollo Tab, users are able to view GraphQL Queries, and the fields that they require for custom integration. Users can easily replicate API Calls for custom integration by simply copying from the MC Page.

What data can I retrieve through the Monte Carlo API?

The Monte Carlo API gives users access to every dataset, table, field level information, the most recent incident and anomaly information, and all pipeline and transformation meta data. Everything that is shown in the Monte Carlo UI is available through API Calls. Therefore, users are able to create custom analysis and integration as needed.

What authentication method does Monte Carlo use?

Monte Carlo uses API Key Authentication. There are two parts to the authentication, a unique API Key ID in the x-mcd-id header, and a secret token in the x-mcd-token header. Both of these values need to be set before you can begin collecting data, or make API Calls.

Can I test API calls before using them in production?

Yes. Monte Carlo provides an API Explorer, a GraphiQL-based, in-browser tool, and a sandbox environment for users to test out API calls. In addition, users can also export the Postman Collection to allow them to test out all of the public GraphQL Endpoints in Postman.

Can I run Monte Carlo collectors on-premise?

Yes. Monte Carlo supports on-premise collectors for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Setting up the collector requires users to first enter their API Credentials, followed by entering their desired collection names, and then either creating a YAML Configuration file, or passing command line arguments.

How do I integrate Monte Carlo with data.world?

Data.world offers a Monte Carlo Metadata Collector. Users will need to enter their Monte Carlo API Key ID and Secret, the API Endpoint, and enter the collection names where the collector output will be stored.

What's the difference between using the UI and API?

Monte Carlo’s User Interface (UI) offers an interactive visual environment for observing and validating data quality issues. In contrast, Monte Carlo’s Application Programming Interface (API) allows users to programmatically access the same data, enabling customized integration of Monte Carlo data into other applications or systems; automating data validation and monitoring; or analyzing data using analytics platforms. The API allows data teams to utilize the data collected by Monte Carlo to monitor and validate the quality of their data from within their own application environments.

Is there rate limiting on API calls?

Specifics about rate limiting can be found in Monte Carlo’s API documentation. However, rate limiting specifics are not clearly outlined in available resources. To determine the most up-to-date rate limiting policies check the API Documentation at https://docs.getmontecarlo.com/docs/api/.
