Adaptive Metadata Manager vs Alation

Any team or organization with complex budgeting and financing could benefit from Adaptive Metadata Manager's ability to track, sort, organize, and analyze volumes of complex financial information. It's extremely valuable for our quarterly reforecasting exercises and lets us stay on track for our budgeting and accounting processes. As a budget manager, I get a detailed snapshot of my YTD expenses.

Alation is best suited for data analysts and data scientists to understand the business using the metadata that it curates. It provides a platform for users to be able to run queries and share them with other users, which creates a collaborative environment. It is a single source of truth to learn more about the data you work with daily.

It's a perfectly functional software but isn't intuitive right out of the box. With some training, it's easy to use.

It's a great tool in terms of user experience.

I haven't needed to use Adaptive Metadata Manager support.

You get great support from Alation right from setting up the system to using them.
