Streamlines reusable data quality rules and has highlighted the need for richer logic and documentation
I worked in Ataccama ONE Platform from version 5 and now we have version 15, which has improved a lot. However, there is still considerable scope for improvement because Ataccama ONE Platform was not that great around 2020 when I started working with it. There can still be more features including writing any logic, improving more keywords for logic building, and enhancing address validation, based on my understanding. User experience is actually good; I do not have any complaints or feedback on that. However, the documentation part can be improved because documentation is key for any organization or tool. If anything is needed for understanding, you have to rely on documentation. Ataccama's documentation has potential for improvement.

Automated retention has transformed compliance workflows and now simplifies audit responses
The deep native integration with Microsoft 365 is what ultimately made me decide on Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management over Enterprise Vault and OpenText Content Manager. Auto-apply retention labels using machine learning is the specific integration with Microsoft 365 that made it the deciding factor for me over Enterprise Vault or OpenText. Manually labeling content at our data volumes is not realistic. The automated classification based on sensitive information types and trainable classifiers is what makes the program actually scale. That feature gets used constantly. We went from inconsistent ad-hoc retention practices to a consistent, automated, documented program across the whole organization with Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management. That shift from a compliance audit perspective is enormous.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I was able to ascertain that elements of information was or was not of value to the migration process, thus saving money in the migration project."
"Customer service was excellent, and I would give it a ten out of ten."
"It is also easy to deploy."
"Ataccama ONE Platform has positively impacted my organization by being much cheaper compared to other DQ tools and providing very good support."
"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The software itself is quite good and met all my requirements."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."
"By understanding the existing data from various source systems, we were able to arrive at the requirements for a data quality plan, and create a separate plan to improve the data quality."
"The impact of Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management on my unified data catalog has improved a lot; the improvements I see are in the lineage, the discovery, and the labeling."
"We went from inconsistent ad-hoc retention practices to a consistent, automated, documented program across the whole organization with Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management."
"The UI is the most valuable feature."
"The system is stable; I haven't encountered any worldwide stability issues unlike other office products."
"HPE Apollo Systems has positively impacted our organization by improving business operations by eighty percent, saving time, improving efficiency, and facilitating the management of large data sets."
 

Cons

"I would not say Ataccama ONE Platform is one hundred percent stable. I would rate it at seventy percent stable."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"When hybrid deployment is done, it doesn't have an option to load any kind of file directly into Ataccama ONE Platform."
"I think the algorithms used in Ataccama ONE Platform need to be defined more and more to figure out things much more perfectly than they are now."
"For improvement, I feel there is a size issue. Whenever we create a monitoring project with a large amount of data, such as multiple catalogs, it starts failing."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"The initial setup took longer than we expected. Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management is not a turn-it-on-and-go product."
"The time it takes to scan is one issue; when we raise high-volume issues and tickets related to scanning failures, it relates to permission errors, which are technical challenges."
"Microsoft's Purview Data Lifecycle Management preview features can be unreliable, hindering their usefulness."
"There is no specific improvement I would suggest for Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management, but I think if they can work on policy design and usability, adding more granular control for the organization regarding controlling the movement of data outside would definitely improve the solution."
"I think labeling could use a lot more AI assistance. AI implementation into labeling would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced."
"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."
"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
"The service operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, charging an extra one cent per field of metadata scanned in our data."
