What do you like best about DataGalaxy?

We were looking for a product that would allow us to visualize complex data lineages and DataGalaxy stood out not only in its UI but also in the fact that it was relatively easy to install in our cloud account and because it has APIs to manage content inside of Data Galaxy.

It has become an integral and useful part of our data infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataGalaxy?

There are multiple small improvements that would increase the usability. Some of them being: we would like to use our own terminilogy in the UI. Improvements in the easy of use of the APIs and in installation would be great. But we've also seen that over time Data Galaxy team has fixed issues and imrpved its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We mostly use it for lineage. Some of the users use it for documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DataGalaxy?

DataGalaxy truly simplified our metadata management while supporting our broader data governance strategy.

We appreciate DataGalaxy intuitive UX/UI, which enables our business users to govern their data assets seamlessly.

We have experienced quick adoption throughout our company, beginning with data owners and data stewards to our business users. They use Data Galaxy daily.

We have implemented and integrated the connector and plugins in our infrastructure and automated them to avoid manual tasks. Our metadata remains current and accurate without having a human burden.

What do you dislike about DataGalaxy?

As a technical integrator of the connector within our infrastructure I would have liked more built-in automation features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our data documentation management was outdated, relying on static documents like Word files or PDFs in multiple versions.

The description of data processing (data lineage) was segmented by business units and restricted to IT teams because some information was deemed sensitive and couldn’t be shared with our business users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DataGalaxy?

Ease of use. Overall, during the various POCs on the tool, the most common feedback was about its ergonomics and the ease of understanding the different components that make it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataGalaxy?

Dislike’ is a strong word, but DataGalaxy is quite a young tool and it evolves regularly. The shortcomings of yesterday will probably be addressed tomorrow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

DataGalaxy brings together business and technical metadata. It enables the establishment of effective data governance, sourcing of data, understanding of their semantics, and visibility of their transformations and where they are exposed. We also use DataGalaxy as a support to establish a pivot language in our ecosystem, given that there is no global reference framework in our industry. Additionally, it allows us to break down knowledge silos and capitalize on them (for example, in case of retirement). Finally, DataGalaxy will serve as a support for the implementation of RSE/CSRD indicators, GDPR compliance, and data reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DataGalaxy?

La capacité à associer le métier et le S.I. au sein d'un outil très ouvert et avec une interface simple et agréable.

Une implémentation SaS très simple à mettre en oeuvre. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataGalaxy?

Le système est tellement ouvert et modulable qu'il nécessite de bien penser sa méthodologie de travail et d'usage avant de commencer. C'est un point fort du produit qui peut désorienter au départ.

Les connecteurs de données sont perfectibles mais Data Galaxy y travaille Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

La capacité à faire un lineage complet de bout en bout avec liens vers les définitions métiers et les domaines de process permet de gagner un temps considérable dans la résolution de problèmes ou l'implémentation de nouveaux projets là où il y avait systématiquement une phase importante de retro engeenering et pas toujours complète.

Au-delà de cette utilisation plutôt orientée "data-experts", Data Galaxy est appelé également à devenir un incontourbale pour les utilisateurs métiers de la donnée, en leur donnant facilement l'accès aux définitions métiers et à leurs mises en application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
