Featured Reviews

Leon Pereira - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced data management with intuitive data lineage and metadata visualization
Certain UI changes could make Atlan more user-friendly. While they have an Excel add-in for interaction with Atlan, it's in its early stages and could be improved. Additionally, data observability capabilities could be enhanced to provide more alerts on stale or outdated data via communication tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, or email.

Workflows and data quality increase productivity with efficient automation
The workflows in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform are unique as no other Data Governance tool has this feature. The data quality functionality provides cutting-edge, next-level insights when compared to other tools such as Alation and Microsoft Purview. In governance, Collibra Data Intelligence Platform has an upper hand. The mapping features in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform allow users to import and export Excel files. While importing Excel files, users can map to numerous assets. We can build relations using these imports and mappings, and obtain lineage information. Additionally, there is integration between Data Quality and the data intelligence platform, which enables another type of mapping. The workflows in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform save substantial time by allowing us to create and assign tasks to business stewards and stakeholders. Instead of sending emails each day, we can create tasks that automatically generate notifications to streamline the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a senior analytics engineer, Atlan's ability to show end-to-end data lineage is the most important feature for me."
"Overall, I rate Atlan as a ten out of ten."
"The AI part is integrated for enriching metadata engagement, making it a comprehensive tool."
"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 technical support services are good."
"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."
"Atlan is helpful for identifying datasets and discovering PI data, such as the classification levels of datasets (gold, silver, bronze)."
"Atlas is quite intuitive."
"The data quality functionality provides cutting-edge, next-level insights when compared to other tools such as Alation and Microsoft Purview."
 

Cons

"One area that could be improved is the capability to find duplicates of datasets."
"Certain UI changes could make Atlan more user-friendly."
"One area that could be improved is the capability to find duplicates of datasets."
"The product could be improved by offering scheduled email reports for managed assets."
"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."
"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."
"One of the main areas for improvement is its governance capabilities. Atlan supports only basic out-of-the-box workflows, and it becomes challenging to customize features like how data owners should approve access to data assets."
"With Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, users need to create and establish connections, which requires entering connection details. This process is more time-consuming in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform compared to Purview, where everything can be done in minutes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
