Astronomer is well suited for workflow and dependency management for enterprise-level data lakes. It is not a product for data processing though. Different source systems can be integrated, it also provides powerful interfaces for alerting and monitoring. Easy to build DAGs, graphical UI, API support makes the product more user-friendly as well. Astronomer also does a great job on user training.

Panoply is great for smaller organizations where analytics is critical, but it is unrealistic to hire a data engineer or build a data infrastructure. Panoply comes as a full data stack out of the box.

  • Automated data ingestion and formatting -- I love not having to write out SQL table schema
  • Easy scaling and data warehouse maintenance -- I don't like to have to mess with this in previous redshift implementations
