Overall Satisfaction with Atlan

My team uses Atlan to define a flexible set of metadata - including measuring the quality of said data. Atlan is also a partner of ours so we use it to integrate with our own tool. It also enables the team to automate manual and high-risk tasks to make them error-free as much as possible. In terms of scope, I only know that our sales, CSM, and CX teams use it for similar uses. Our business may use it to a larger scope than that.
  • Extensive and seemless integrations
  • Tons of automation (in a good way)
  • Extremely user-friendly and intuitive to navigate
  • API documentation could be improved
  • Support team could be quicker in their response
  • Not a lot of "help" type information users can self-access
  • Ingtegrations
  • Dashboards
  • UI design
  • Atlan has certainly saved time and money by consolidating our metadata sets
  • Integrations with Amazon and Tableau have definetely sped up our time to value
The other tools were also solid, we ultimately ended up going with Atlan for these reasons: 1. It improved our compliance and risk management the best 2. Easy to adopt and good pricing 3. Seemed to have the most robust functionality -- especially in terms of integrations 4. Easy to use -- anyone could pick it up relatively quickly

Yes

Would you buy Atlan again?

Yes

Well suited if you're using a lot of tools that work in tandem with this such as Snowflake, Amazon, S3, Tableau, Power, BI, Redshift, and others. It also has robust functionality for the quality management of metadata sets. The most helpful thing here is all the dashboards that provide visibility in one place. In my experience, less suited for collaboration across teams. Not a ton of ways to do things in real-time together.
