What do you like best about Atlan?

Atlan search is extremely useful, allowing you to easily find all data assets within your organization. The lineage tool is also very powerful, and can assist in a multitude of different areas from understanding dependencies, making informed decisions on developments, and checking overall use of an asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

It would be great to have more capabilities involved with the lineage views. We have wanted to be able to filter based on the asset source (only lineage for the dbt assets, or Snowflake and Sigma etc.), so that is a downfall of this feature. It would also be good to include more automations and templates for things like Glossary terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Atlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Atlan is helping individuals at the organization identify what data is available to them, what it is and how to use it. It is also helping with broad release of primary metric definitions and linking them to relevant assets for users to review and gain even further business context.

What do you like best about Atlan?

Atlan’s user-friendly interface encourages engagement across the board, regardless of technical expertise. The data lineage feature provides a clear, visual layout of our data stack, which has been particularly helpful in onboarding new hires by giving them immediate insight into our data architecture. The glossary feature is crucial for establishing a common understanding of terms and metrics throughout the company, with the ability to assign ownership to these definitions. Linking glossary terms to related assets further reinforces this shared understanding and accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

The integration with Teams could be more refined. Specifically, it would be beneficial if requests for approval could be directed to the appropriate data owner or individual, rather than just an administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Atlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

We lacked a consolidated view of our overall data landscape, and there was a clear need to standardize corporate terminology and metrics with defined lines of responsibility. Atlan addressed these challenges by providing a unified platform that supports our data governance and operational goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Atlan?

the search function - where it is placed and how relevant the search results are have helped me onboard to my new (data) organization faster than had I not had access to such a helpful catalogue.

Lineage diagrams clearly mark where data is coming from.

Though I've not used it much, I like that it's easy to directly edit the descriptions of fields. I think that's why the data I have access to is so well-documented (it is easy to update). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

I frequently flip back and forth between (1) atlan, and (2) the github repository containing our dbt models. I know that atlan is integrated so it's possible to see within the app how exactly (raw SQL) a model is built but I feel like this feature could be fleshed out more so that I'm not tempted to flip back and forth.

What do you like best about Atlan?

Overall, the experience from inception to implementation was excellent. The sales team was very responsive, helping us answer all our questions and connecting us with the technical team to resolve any issues. This ensured a seamless product evaluation experience and timeline.he product is very easy to integrate with different collaboration tools and other data products. They have been adding many new features that were requested, ensuring the product is far more mature compared to other metadata management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

Atlan’s licensing model limits your ability to use the product to its fullest potential if your organization has budget constraints. Since the licensing model is based on the number of users and connectors, you cannot expand it to everyone in the organization, and it costs more to add additional connectors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Atlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Atlan?

It is user friendly and allows users to easily view a shopping window of all things data related in our eco-system, from raw data to managed data assets and reports, along with enriched meta data explaining what the data asset is, what is comprises of, and how its been built.

That it does not yet have a google dataform connector :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Atlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing a single pane of glass to view all of our data assets and how they are built in a simple and easy to understand tool for end users. Allowing users to answer questions for themselves and to see whats available without intervention from the data team. It also allows lineage level tracking for the technical teams and allows a platform for all data documentation instead of it living on a wiki that few know about Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Atlan?

Richness of Features, Design Flexibility of workflow as per our needs + standard templates, Super Quick Response/support from Atlan Team, Leading the thoughtprocess in Data Product space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

Error logs of batch processes are too verbose & it will be challenging to pin point any error. However, there are rarely any errors + atlan support proactive in addressing/advising on the errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Atlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing Metadata is a challenge for us, with tons of tech savvy business users generating data content that will consume similarly tech savvy users of the organization in a fast paced manner. Self-service, open source tool integration, and click-and-go features were critical for our business, so that data governance does not slowdown the business, instead of helping to speed up the business. Altan was a perfect solution to that problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atlan has a comfortable UI that is fairly intuitive to navigate, even for team members who don't interact with data often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

The lack of a native Airbyte connecter has prevented us from getting as much value as possible from Atlan, and while the integrations with other systems such as Tableau are there, it isn't as in-depth as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Atlan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Atlan helps us to establish a common language around our data, find data that is available, and understand how to utilize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
