Metadata governance has improved data lineage visibility but still needs simpler integrations
I know that the integrations are not easy to do, and I believe it happens because it's a customized solution. There always needs to be software developers to work on this. It's complicated; every time we want to integrate new things or new sources, we need to generate a ticket or a request to another department. When I had my experience with Atlan, for example, I was able to connect different sources in a very user-friendly way. I just needed to set up some configurations and connect to the source without having to be a software developer or develop any code in the back end. It was just a feature in the data catalog that enabled me to connect with different kinds of sources. That's why I think the disadvantage of having a customized solution. Although I think Data Hub itself is a very good tool, years ago I had the opportunity to work with it, but with a clear interface and the open-source solution, which was very clear and easy to connect. At Uber, we need to have a request when we want to integrate new sources. Regarding Data Hub's intuitiveness, regarding analytics, I would say that some quality dimensions are available for us. For example, for each field name or each column in a table, it's possible to see the frequency, how many values we have for a specific type or category, and we can see if there are new or null values, whether the columns are empty or not, along with some metrics. This is regarding the data quality dimensions, such as nullables and things of that nature. That is all we have for features. I remember when I was working with Atlan, there was a feature I liked very much—the possibility to have a sample. When I clicked on a table, I could see a short sample without needing SQL skills. I just clicked the table and could see some values or what the table represents; the data catalog would show a screen with some rows of the table. This feature was very good, but we don't have it in Data Hub the way it is implemented at Uber. I think it would be a very good feature for analytics, and we don't have it at the moment. The integration part could be better, but again, it's because it's a customized solution. I think if they used the native version of the tool, it would be simpler. The integration part and the process of setting up new data quality rules would be important for data governance players like me.
