I rate Atlan overall a nine out of ten. I choose nine out of ten because even though Atlan is a very good product, it can be further improved. For others looking for a very complete data catalog tool with many features that can support data discovery, lineage, and more, I suggest choosing Atlan.
For the user experience, it is sometimes tedious because when reading the source and finding the data tables, if I then try to find matching partners or visualize some lineages, it can be overwhelming. I need to either shrink the scope of my task, use lesser complexity, or use fewer tables to generate business values. Sometimes it can simply be overwhelming.My advice for others looking into using Atlan is that they must be clear upfront about the purpose and scenario for which they want to use it. If they want to connect databases, read, surf, and do that, then I would recommend it. However, if they want to start a data governance organization or business understanding, that would be a totally different story because Atlan has strengths in technical connections. Atlan should be made livable for business people. It should not be solely from developers for developers, as there is a vast range of business users who are happy if they can read Excel sheets but do not have knowledge about XML data formats and other technical considerations. If you want to expand your customer range, Atlan should learn business language and not focus so much on technical language, making it usable for business professionals. I rate this product a five out of five.

For stability, I would rate relevant features at seven out of ten. Atlas is suitable for smaller to mid-size companies, however, for larger organizations with multiple ERPs and data lakes, it may present challenges.

Overall, I rate Atlan as a ten out of ten. It is an excellent solution for data discovery and glossary needs. I suggest improving duplication detection for datasets as an enhancement.

Using Atlan for day-to-day operations has been straightforward. I would recommend it for its user-friendly interface and robust data governance capabilities. I rate it a nine.
I would recommend using it because my experience with it has been very positive. To our strategy and our current maturity, it made a lot of sense, also within our budget. It was a very good cost/opportunity ratio, as other solutions were very expensive. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Overall, it's a very good solution. It's a recent, brand-new, company-friendly solution. They have been able to fulfill our expectations. We have been able to do what we wanted, to be where we wanted to be. They have a few issues here and there, but that's normal for any product or solution. Overall, we are satisfied.
