I’ve been using GE for a while now and recently created an open-source tool to extend its capabilities. I created [Panda Patrol](https://pandapatrol.io/) which provides things like data profiling, general data monitors, anomaly detection, and more custom data quality checks with just one function call. It’s complementary to GE and can be used for those more custom and nuanced cases. Hope this is helpful. Here is a [demo](https://www.loom.com/share/0468aef48b1843f381146399f1652b81?sid=3a61e91d-91cc-45c8-ba88-0d771d2ea72c)
