Has struggled to meet business needs but supports technical data exploration and transparency
Atlan can be improved by concentrating more on business data since it is developed from developers for developers, and it needs to be more business relevant. For instance, when re-importing data model diagrams, Atlan provides some diagram automation that is not connected to the business glossary, which I consider a significant fault. Atlan needs to improve by focusing more on the business side of data, not only on technical aspects.If you want to focus on technical considerations, it would be beneficial to have an interface with a real business data modeling tool such as Erwin or other business data tools, since data modeling is not the same as Draw.io. Additionally, Atlan can improve its workflows, which are hard to understand. Working with templates, Excel import, export, and running automations is not self-explanatory, and you always need help from Atlan support team. If business people want to use it and run their own reports, it must be easier to customize for their business needs.

Pros

"The way it processes contemporaneous research prompts is much better than Chat GPT; it gives more fullsome answers that combine current data with the existing training data."
"The quick, easy, and secure access to a LLM has enabled us to use these facilities without fear of information being shared elsewhere."
"The way it processes contemporaneous research prompts is much better than Chat GPT; it gives more fullsome answers that combine current data with the existing training data."
"The technical support services are good."
"By switching to Atlan, we have increased our productivity and saved a lot of business time through automation."
"As a senior analytics engineer, Atlan's ability to show end-to-end data lineage is the most important feature for me."
"Atlan is helpful for identifying datasets and discovering PI data, such as the classification levels of datasets (gold, silver, bronze)."
"Overall, I rate Atlan a nine out of ten."
"The best feature of Atlan is its integration with communication platforms like Microsoft Teams and Slack, so business users don't have to go into a data catalog to see metadata about data assets."
"They also offer automated lineage embedded in the connectors, allowing us to track where the data is coming from and where it's going. We find it very efficient in cataloging data sources. Additionally, the user-friendly interface is a big plus, making it easy for users to familiarize themselves with the solution. These two features, in my opinion, stand out the most."
"The AI part is integrated for enriching metadata engagement, making it a comprehensive tool."
 

Cons

"Any changes would be cosmetic; the interface could be smartened up."
"Some of the consoles are still a bit clunky; there is room for improvement there."
"Working with templates, Excel import, export, and running automations is not self-explanatory, and you always need help from Atlan support team."
"One of the main areas for improvement is its governance capabilities."
"The challenge is in the lineage, where it requires improvement. Atlas needs to capture areas where organizations use less known applications."
"Certain UI changes could make Atlan more user-friendly."
"There are some improvements. There is a feature called Playbooks, which basically allows me to automate certain activities that would otherwise be manual. It's a very interesting feature, but there is room to improve it because, depending on the task you automate, the playbooks seem to have a hard time handling the task. So, it could be improved there. Even though it's a great feature, it can evolve further."
"Certain UI changes could make Atlan more user-friendly."
"In my experience, it might be less suited for collaboration across teams."
"The challenge is in the lineage, where it requires improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay per-user license. It's a different classification model than with other solutions, where they usually charge you for resources. So, that was a better model for us. And because of this difference in models or classification, it was cheaper for us to go with Atlan."
