Survey: State of Data Quality

Data Quality Insights and Benchmarks

Monte Carlo partnered with Wakefield Research to survey more than 300 data professionals across industries to reveal the state of data quality.

We found data teams struggle with data quality issues despite allocating a considerable amount of time and resources to fix them. Specifically, we benchmarked:

  • Average time to detection, resolution, and number of data incidents
  • Overall time spent on data quality
  • Impact of data quality on revenue and business stakeholders
  • Data quality investments, obstacles, and metrics
  • Time to fill a data engineering role
  • Likelihood to quit if required to return to work in-person or in a hybrid setting
  • And more!

Access these complementary survey findings to better understand where and how to invest your team’s resources.

Insights From Data’s Biggest Thought Leaders

To go beyond the numbers, we also asked some of the foremost thought leaders in data for their reactions and insights, including leaders from:

  • Convoy
  • Red Ventures
  • Choozle
  • Slice
  • PagerDuty
  • Instacart
  • SoFi
  • AutoTrader UK
  • Clariness
  • The Farmer’s Dog
  • Collaborative Imaging
  • Ternary Data
  • And (of course) Monte Carlo

We hope you find the survey results as interesting as we all did, and that they help you develop your strategy for building reliable, scalable data systems.
