What do you like best about the product?

Atlan’s user-friendly interface encourages engagement across the board, regardless of technical expertise. The data lineage feature provides a clear, visual layout of our data stack, which has been particularly helpful in onboarding new hires by giving them immediate insight into our data architecture. The glossary feature is crucial for establishing a common understanding of terms and metrics throughout the company, with the ability to assign ownership to these definitions. Linking glossary terms to related assets further reinforces this shared understanding and accountability.

What do you dislike about the product?

The integration with Teams could be more refined. Specifically, it would be beneficial if requests for approval could be directed to the appropriate data owner or individual, rather than just an administrator.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We lacked a consolidated view of our overall data landscape, and there was a clear need to standardize corporate terminology and metrics with defined lines of responsibility. Atlan addressed these challenges by providing a unified platform that supports our data governance and operational goals.
