Atlan Reviews & Product Details - Page 5

I love how easy it is to get access to find the answers I need using SQL. Before Atlan, I would have needed to jump through many loops to access our data. With Atlan, I can access all tables, which are organized and described clearly so that I can discover data efficiently. Atlan also makes crafting, saving, sharing, managing, and reusing SQL queries simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our data engineering team have enjoyed the ease of setup with Atlan as dbt documentation work they had already done easily surfaced to Atlan to populate the asset profile fields. Also, the asset fields automatically populated by Atlan have been very helpful in our setup process, making the information in the tool already useful for our working processes. In addition, the customer support from Atlan has been phenomenal, providing support and resources for every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had some technical issues during our setup, but Atlan support has been quick to troubleshoot and offer solutions as we've worked through any problems that have come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Atlan is its emphasis on collaboration and automation. Its ability for data discussions and annotations make it a truly collaborative platform, stimulating efficient dialogue among data teams. This increased level of collaboration often leads to enhanced data understanding and more insightful decision-making.

The platform's automation also plays a significant role in its appeal. In just a few clicks, we can automate repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus our time and energy on providing insights rather than wrestling with tedious data management tasks.

Combined with its robust data governance capabilities and comprehensive audit trails, Atlan simplifies data oversight and assists in staying compliant with data protection regulations. Overall, Atlan's dedication to fostering an easy, collaborative, and compliant data environment is what I find most compelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite its myriad of features, Atlan has one significant setback that can affect new users most: its onboarding process. Getting up to speed with Atlan's tools and functionalities can be quite challenging due to the steep initial learning curve. This might be attributed to its wealth of features and capabilities which, while beneficial in the long run, can overwhelm users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product value proposition in its extensibility to meet our evolving metadata ingestion, enrichment, and publishing requirements with relatively short time, is appealing.

Working with results oriented, adaptable customer success team is a fantastic experience. They are enthusiastic advocates and experts who recognize the benefits of metadata in data governance, data integration, data quality, and overall data management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some users reported page loading, quality of search results issues that have been surfaced to Atlan team.

For Platform adminitrators of a multitenant data platform, ability to create admin of admin role, and ability to preview assuming roles are sorely missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm responsible for building up the glossary in Atlan - the reason why we believe Atlan is a user-friendly and collaborative metadata management platform and is the perfect fit for building up our glossaries are below:

1. Definitive definitions: 1) The glossary allows users to define and document business terms and metrics, providing clear and consistent definitions to ensure a shared understanding. 2) The glossary provides contextual information, including synonyms, abbreviations, acronyms, and related terms. 3) Terms and metrics can be categorized and organized in a hierarchical structure, facilitating easy navigation and browsing based on domains, topics, or functional areas.

2. Search and Discovery: The glossary offers powerful search capabilities, enabling users to quickly find specific metrics or related information. Users can search by keyword, browse categories, ownership, or apply filters to refine their search results.

3. Data Lineage and Impact Analysis: The glossary is integrated with data lineage and impact analysis features. Users can understand how terms are used within reports, dashboards and other data assets, and trace their impact across the data ecosystem.

4. Collaboration and Annotation: Users can collaborate by adding comments, annotations, or additional context to term definitions. This encourages knowledge sharing, discussions, and alignment on the understanding of terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Pricing: Atlan's pricing structure may not be suitable for low budget companies, especially for small organizations or startups with limited resources. Will enterprise pricing plan in the pipeline?

2) Learning Curve: It might take some time for users to become proficient in navigating and utilizing all the functionalities effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a mobile gaming company, we collect TONS of data. We were mainly attracted to Atlan because we needed a "source of truth" for all our data sources and a data lineage tool. Atlan has made it easy to document our rapidly growing database and reports, as well as visualize how each asset connects. Atlan has also made it possible for our non-analytical teams to search for Tableau reports and query our database without SQL coding skills.

We especially love how easy it was to get Atlan up and running. It integrated with all our existing tools (Slack, Jira, Tableau, Snowflake, etc.), and the Atlan team has been with us at every step. The customer service has been phenomenal -- even post-set-up. Shoutout to Steven for creating personalized tutorial videos for us! Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just a few bugs here and there, but Atlan's support team has been extremely responsive and helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a data engineer, I've been particularly impressed by Atlan's ability to easily integrate metadata generated by dbt and custom metadata. The integration with GitHub has also been beneficial, allowing for seamless collaboration between team members on data projects. I've found that the visual representation of lineage has been precious in understanding how data flows through the system, and seeing the complete lineage at a glance is a significant time-saver. Additionally, I've had a very positive experience with the integration between Atlan and dbt, which has been reliable and straightforward to use. Overall, Atlan has made collaborative metadata management a breeze, and I would highly recommend it to other data engineers looking to streamline their data management processes.

One area that could be improved with Atlan is the website speed. Unfortunately, I've found that the majority of the time, the website is quite slow. This can be frustrating when trying to complete tasks efficiently, and I hope that Atlan can address this issue in the future to improve the user experience.

The search option for looking up data sources/fields is beneficial. I believe this is the most used resource due to the data in our databases. The ability to add definitions to the fields ensures the correct data source is selected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atlan has a lot to offer, but knowing what all Atlan can be used for is challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atlan was created by data engineers for data engineers. Utilizing Atlan's integration with Reshift, Aurora and Tableau provided us with rich data and metadata insight, allowed for a super fast impact analysis using lineage, and eliminated the need to document data changes manually. Atlan allowed us to create a centralized place for business analysts to find information about company data, definitions and metrics, glossary, and project documentation. The interface is simple and very intuitive, so minimal training is required. Atlan is excellent as an onboarding tool for business and data people alike. Their APIs are easy to use and well-documented, and Google-like search makes finding data assets easy. All these features provided immense value to our users. Overall, Atlan has drastically reduced our workload in organizing data and metadata as a single source of truth. And lastly (and most importantly), Atlan has outstanding customer service; it has been with us every step of the way during the initial implementation and continues to support us with adopting the tool. They listen to their customers and address any issues very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about Atlan, as the business specifics drive some of our challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atlan reduces the time developers spend understanding context of their data assets. It gives data producers a platform to document and a place for consumers to learn and understand data. The platform is intuitive and integrates with our existing application ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about Atlan. One downside of the product is switching from your data model, database, or BI layer to the Atlan UI to get more information about the data. Having Atlan embedded within the BI layer would be helpful and is already being worked on/available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
