Automation has transformed data quality workflows and now saves significant time and cost
A quick specific example of how our team uses Atlan to automate a manual or high-risk task is the robust functionality for the quality management of metadata sets. The most helpful thing here is all the dashboards that provide visibility in one place. We use this tool because it is very easy and integrable with other data sources, which is very convenient and time-saving. By switching to Atlan, we have increased our productivity and saved a lot of business time through automation. My team, whether technical or non-technical, adapted Atlan very quickly because of its simple and intuitive user interface. The best features Atlan offers include the ease to extract and modify the data. We can do very quick and smooth integration. It is an open-source framework that provides extension capability to the APIs it uses. Tons of automation help to automate tedious and time-consuming tasks, thereby reducing error and saving time and cost. It is extremely user-friendly and intuitive to navigate, especially the user interface. Atlan has positively impacted my organization by saving time and money while consolidating our metadata sets. Integration with Amazon and Tableau have definitely sped up our time to value. We have saved fifty-five percent of our time through the automation of tedious and time-consuming tasks. Extraction of data is easy. In this data catalog solution, data modification is really simple and easy. Integration with other software is very seamless and easy, thereby simplifying our workflow. Atlan is very scalable and helps to grow our organization while catering to our needs. It enables the team to automate manual and high-risk tasks to make them error-free as much as possible and save time and cost. It is a very cost-effective tool that should be highly adaptable and usable in any organization.

Data discovery has transformed analyst autonomy and now needs better bulk editing and UI control
The first improvement I would like for data.world Enterprise is an improvement in communication with users. Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs. It would be beneficial to send out notifications to users whenever an update is coming, either via email or in-app, so that they can prepare and expect changes. I also find that some areas of the product interface are overly complex, and interface customization needs improvement for users to choose where buttons should be and the layout they prefer. Another improvement needed is the absence of a bulk edit feature in the platform itself. For example, when searching for data and needing to do some edits, you cannot do bulk edits within data.world Enterprise. Instead, you have to export and make your changes in a Python or SQL environment, or use Excel to validate and edit before importing the dataset back for analysis. If data.world Enterprise could incorporate a data-wrangling tool on its service, allowing changes to be made directly, that would be a great improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"By switching to Atlan, we have increased our productivity and saved a lot of business time through automation."
"Atlan is helpful for identifying datasets and discovering PI data, such as the classification levels of datasets (gold, silver, bronze)."
"Overall, I rate Atlan as a ten out of ten."
"The interfaces and automated imports have helped me with transparency, as we have different sources from different techniques such as DBT, Snowflake, and other regular databases, making it effective to connect these sources and navigate through them, filter them, and enrich the data with additional meter information."
"The technical support services are good."
"By switching to Atlan, we have increased our productivity and saved a lot of business time."
"Atlan has positively impacted the organization since it helps in discovering already available assets, allowing for reduction of redundant ingestion of external data and reduction of time to market for any project."
"The AI part is integrated for enriching metadata engagement, making it a comprehensive tool."
"Sharing and collaboration have significantly impacted our workflow, as we decided to document each product on data.world Enterprise, providing easy access to everyone, eliminating the need to switch platforms for saving documentation, making it easier for users to access rather than using specific Word files and sharing them on SharePoint."
"Previously, it would take up to three weeks to onboard a new analyst, but now within five working days, we can complete the onboarding process."
 

Cons

"Certain UI changes could make Atlan more user-friendly."
"Atlan can be improved by integrating agents that can support users in finding assets of interest."
"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."
"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."
"Customer support for Atlan is not so proactive."
"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."
"Working with templates, Excel import, export, and running automations is not self-explanatory, and you always need help from Atlan support team."
"Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs."
"There should be improvements in ease of use."
 

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."
