The key findings of the survey of 314 big data professionals are: - 87% said 'bad data' pollutes their data stores and 74% said 'bad data' is currently in their stores. Ensuring data quality was the top challenge cited. - 72% build data flows through hand coding while 53% change pipelines several times per month. - Only 12% rated their ability to detect issues like stopped pipelines or degraded performance as 'good' or 'excellent'. - There are significant gaps between the real-time visibility needed and what current tools provide across metrics like error rates, divergent data, and privacy detection. - 81% said upgrading big data components has significant operational impact.

1 Sponsored by: Sponsored by: ‘Bad Data’ Is Polluting Big Data Enterprises Struggle with Real-Time Control of Data Flows A Global Survey of Big Data Professionals June 2016
2 Executive Summary The big data market is still maturing, especially as relates to data in motion and as evidenced by lack of best practices or consistent processes to clean and manage data quality. For companies who use big data to optimize current business operations or to make strategic decisions, it is critical that they ensure their big data teams have real-time visibility and control over the data at all times. This report finds that companies who are leveraging big data are rarely capable of controlling their data flows. Almost 9 out of 10 companies report ‘bad data’ polluting their data stores and shockingly nearly 3/4 indicate there is ‘bad data’ in their stores currently. The findings also reveal a chasm between the problem detection capabilities data experts have today and what they desire. This translates into a lack of real-time visibility and control of data flows, operations, quality and security.
