"Product has been great for beginning our data governance journey"

5/5

What do you like best about Atlan?

The first feature that pops up when using Atlan, compared to other options we tried, is the simple -yet effective- interface. At a simple glance, Atlan might seem like a simple product that doesn't have much to offer, but when you explore and use it, you realize it has many (if not all) of the features its competitors have, but they've worked hard to offer a clean and user-friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

So far, the few items that were challenging for us, I shared them with the Atlan team and they're actively listening to improve their product.

For example, the lack of integration with Microsoft Teams, and some nice options available in other reporting tools (e.g. Looker) that aren't available for Power BI reports, like report preview.

However, Atlan has been open with us in sharing some roadmap items that might be added, including some of the ones I mentioned above. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Right now, documentation! Both technical and business documentation is lacking in our data & analytics environment. Atlan gives us that central place that our users can use as an entry point to our data products.

Second, ownership. Atlan provides our users with easy-to-identify owners for all our assets, which translates into saved time for our users and our data developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Atlan is a great tool to own"

5/5

What do you like best about Atlan?

The thing I like the most about Atlan is its support. The customer service is quick, helping our users whenever needed and considering our feedback to develop new features. We solved a lot of issues through the support channels. That makes the life of the tool admin really easy and the end user gets a smooth experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

Not being able to crawl Sisense Periscope is a big feature that is missing. It's unfortunate that this wasn't implemented for Atlan 2.0 as we have a lot of knowledge from our team over there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Active Data Catalog for the Modern Data Stack"

5/5

What do you like best about Atlan?

The ability to utilize Atlan's integration with Snowflake and Power BI provided us with rich data and metadata insights regarding our analytical data assets (tables and views) and Power BI reports and dashboards. Atlan also provides a truly visual data lineage showing the sources, transformations, and targets of different data assets. Another distinctive area where Atlan shines is the rich search interface which aids the discovery of business glossary terms and data assets.

The Atlan customer success is very responsive to our requests. Atlan's customer success team work in close collaboration with our internal team to remediate issues and provide us with information about new features and how to make the best use of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

Mapping business glossary terms to data assets was challenging at first. We had to work with the Atlan team to create a workaround custom solution to get this done. Atlan has recently released product updates to make this process much less arduous for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Atlan as an enabler of our data governance execution specifically around important capabilities such as a business glossary, data dictionary, data discovery, and data lineage. Pertinent to the broad adoption of these capabilities is the need for collaboration amongst teams. Team members can easily search and discover new data assets and collaborate on fixing incorrect definitions or introducing new terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Atlan is a useful metadata dictionary"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Atlan?

I like the features it has w.r.t. lineage and data quality checks; as well as the integration with dbt. I love the responsiveness of the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

The separate UI becomes unmanageable over time unless governance standards are not imposed, and it is a bit disconnected from the data production cycle because it is away from the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Data Catalog of the people"

5/5

What do you like best about Atlan?

Atlan is constantly making sure how they would be able to generate value with our metadata. In other words, they listen to their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

There are improvements to perform on their insights section because UX is different when using Bigquery UI, and users wouldn't be used to the switch. But as the "Insights" section is an optional feature, it won't affect the primary purpose of Atlan. (Data Discovery, Data Lineage) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
