CAT’s Post

CAT vs. NBi: Real Lessons from the Field 💡 In a recent project with a Swiss customer, we put CAT head-to-head with NBi – and the results revealed much more than just technical differences.   ↗️ It’s not just about features. It’s about scalability, integration, and how well tools can adapt to the real demands of enterprise data projects. ↗️ It’s about seeing what happens when open source hits the complexity of production environments. ↗️ It’s about learning directly from real customer challenges and outcomes.   We’ve captured the full story, including what worked, what didn’t, and why CAT proved to be the trusted choice for long-term data quality.

  • Testing data isn’t optional anymore. When models grow, teams scale, and releases get faster, having the right testing tool becomes critical. 

At one of our enterprise clients in Switzerland, we compared two approaches side by side.

🟦 NBi –a framework based on XML 
🟪 CAT – an automated testing tool built for speed, reuse, and simplicity 

Here’s what we learned — based entirely on real numbers from a working solution.

Data Quality Management is not anymore a back-office concern (I mean purely IT issue). It needs to be a topic for the whole organization - that's why proprietary tools like NBi, Python or JavaScript is not applicable anymore. Good job CAT!

Having worked with both sides, I’ve learned that open source can be great in controlled setups – but once you hit enterprise scale, things change fast. Integration gaps start to cost more than the “free” license saves. Governance, auditability, and support suddenly matter. Business teams don’t want DIY fixes, they want reliability That’s why in real projects, CAT often wins: it keeps up with enterprise complexity while still being simple to adopt. Curious to hear from others – have you also seen open source stall when moving from POC to production?
