Overall Satisfaction with Alation Data Catalog
I am using Alation to aid in our data governance efforts. It ties all the metadata together beautifully and helps give deeper insights into the data stories we are telling and how they are built. I have plans to use it for a best practices and policies repository as well where employees across the organization can write articles and how to manuals and make them available to everyone.
- Data Governance
- Lineage
- Self help data research
- Menu navigation can be complex
- Price is steep
- Alation Everywhere isn’t available on all license structures
- Lineage
- Catalog sets for bulk dynamic tagging
- Connection to the best third party vendors such as snowflake and tableau.
- It’s early for us to show hard numbers but the sentiment is very positive
- People are really excited for self driven research
- The governance and controls are great
Alation had such good connectivity to third party platforms that we wanted to go with them. In particular they are tied very well to snowflake and tableau which are our two most critical systems.
Additionally, Alation is so well received in the industry that it is easy to connect with people and find solutions to things we are troubleshooting.
