Metadata management has streamlined lineage tracking and data discovery for our teams
The best features Data Hub offers include its integration capability with many popular tools like Apache Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, Looker, Apache Kafka, and BigQuery. These tools provide us with data in various places, and we commonly use Apache Airflow for the DAG, while utilizing BigQuery as our database and Apache Kafka for consuming messaging queues. Data Hub easily connects with all these tools and features excellent data discovery and visualization capabilities. We can see data visibility, where it comes from, its upstream and downstream relationships. If we remove a column, we can assess the impact of that change. Furthermore, if there are duplicate datasets being used by different teams that do not communicate regularly, onboarding all data to Data Hub allows us to identify these duplicates easily. Out of all those features, I believe data discovery and impact analysis are the most valuable for my team because when we want to add or drop a column, we can assess the impact analysis to understand the downstream effects. This helps us know who owns a dataset, and we can easily contact the owner. Tracking the data lineage back to the source table is also a key benefit. Data Hub has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing manual work that was previously needed to identify upstream and downstream data relationships, as well as recognizing duplicate datasets. If a data contract is broken, we now easily get notified of those issues, making the process much easier and more efficient. It is particularly useful for data engineers and platform teams to check for problems directly within Data Hub. Data Hub has saved our team a lot of time. For example, in a large company like Porch, if I want to know whether a specific dataset exists, I can check Data Hub, as it serves as a centralized point for managing the metadata of our data. While it does not contain all data, it does contain the metadata necessary for understanding the dataset's origin. If a dataset does not exist, I can simply see who the owner is and reach out to them, which reduces the dependency on others by providing direct access to information in Data Hub.

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.

"Data Hub has saved approximately two million every four years, which is one of the major savings."
"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."
