What do you like best about Atlan?

1. the team is devoted to helping customers, from feature implementation to customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

I left my previous job 9 months ago, where I was using atlan. at that time, I felt atlan is still a new product with areas to mature and new features to implement to be more widely adopted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. the initial problem we leveraged Atlan to solve is data lineage, especially the GUI part, rendering with collapsable nodes. Once we deployed it, we found we can use Atlan to do metadata management / data governance so our scope expanded Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Atlan?

The product itself is very intuitive. At the beginning of our implementation, we were easily able to begin on our own with minimal help from the support team as the integrations that are pre-built and the workflow connectors worked fantastic for our tech stack, so getting assets into our system was simple and fast. The actual application itself is extremely user-friendly once you understand the base terminology and their self-help guides are phenomenal, especially when it comes to API work. The application allows for easy creation of new custom Meta-Data, which is something we desperately needed and has been such an immense benefit for truly putting our company terminology and end-user needs into the product, making it truly relevant in the ways that we need for our data. The ability to have both direct integrations to Jira (which we utilize the Jira Service Desk for our IT service desk tickets) and the ability to add Confluence resources to Assets allow Atlan to fully integrate into our infrastructure.

Most of all, however, is the overall support that Atlan has given us. Whether it be through a great sales process, fantastic engagement during initial application creation/integration to our Assets, or now fully supporting us with any questions, however large or small, is the best we have had with any software vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

We are currently going through an architecture conversion and while the integrations with some of the newer cloud technologies are great, some of the older tech stack components do not have all the bells and whistles (for example the MySQL Aurora Connector doesn't have native lineage for Procedures). Additionally, there are some limitations to the bulk upload and what may be updated, but support has been a great workaround for when these come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently, we have a real lack of Business Users and IT having common terminology for Metrics or Terms that are related to Data. Atlan is allowing us to standardize these, which in turn will immensely alleviate our support when it comes to Data/Report requests as these misunderstandings consistently cause issues with intent vs. what is delivered. We have also been looking for a solution for truly understanding our data, where it comes from, how it is transformed, and where it is being delivered. The multiple integrations from S3 buckets to Redshift, this is allowing us to visualize and understand this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
