Atlan: Centralizing Data Assets in One Place
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, clean interface, search capabilities, lineage tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Seach feature can get overwhelming if there are so many data assets to sort through. Having a data source filtering capability in the lineage tool would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Atlan centralizes all my org's data assets/sources so I am able to easily navigate through my org's data in one area.

Atlan Improves Data Visibility and Context
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan is helpful for searchign data objects and understanding the context/lineage surrounding them. In addition to providing descriptions of data objects and their lineage, it also provides recent usage statistics, which can be helpful for identifying the significance of a data object, and source for the data (e.g. Snowflake etc). The search itself is easy to use and has good accuracy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Search can be overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for or are searching general terms. Additionally, the lineage is helpful but doesn't provide much context on how exactly parent objects are leveraged in the context of the object you're using.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a fairly complex data ecosystem, and it can be difficult to know where to find the data we're looking for, particularly when starting a new project. Atlan makes it easier to search across our organization for the most relevant results as well as understand the sources and dependencies of that data.
Great tool for exploring data flow and finding data assets
What do you like best about the product?
Data lineage is amazing. Being able to find any data asset across a variety of warehouse or BI platform, then explore both upstream and downstream has been very helpful. I can tell how specific metrics or data infrastructure are made, which helps me quickly troubleshoot issues. The search functionality is extremely powerful and performant. AI recommended documentation is also helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limiting searches can be difficult. In my organization we have a lot of legacy data assets with no documentation. Search and data lineage often find dozens of likely results for my search and it's difficult to narrow those searches down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are a variety of data-product creators in my area of responsibility and I'm not always up to speed on what they're making at any given time. I'm often asked to create data assets or update assets upstream, or to collaborate with colleagues. Using Atlan's search and data lineage makes this so much easier. I can see how a column in a data table is made or I can see the downstream impacts of the work I'm doing. Particularly for our globally distributed team: being able to investigate independently is a life saver.
Data lineage provides clear visibility
What do you like best about the product?
Data catalog and data lienage between the source and final reports is very helpful for all the users , both technical and non technical folks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup is time consuming and takes effort
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business users benefit from the data catalog, which often requires back and forth conversations between data and business teams
Powerful Data Catalog tool with great features
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan search is extremely useful, allowing you to easily find all data assets within your organization. The lineage tool is also very powerful, and can assist in a multitude of different areas from understanding dependencies, making informed decisions on developments, and checking overall use of an asset.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great to have more capabilities involved with the lineage views. We have wanted to be able to filter based on the asset source (only lineage for the dbt assets, or Snowflake and Sigma etc.), so that is a downfall of this feature. It would also be good to include more automations and templates for things like Glossary terms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Atlan is helping individuals at the organization identify what data is available to them, what it is and how to use it. It is also helping with broad release of primary metric definitions and linking them to relevant assets for users to review and gain even further business context.
Atlan: great potential, amasing help, but some obstackes on the way
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan meets all the requirements that one would expect from the catalog: great search experience, variety of connection possibilities, easy of use, and clear UI. It is also highly customizable to our needs where we can add our custom metadata and needed for the business information on the data assets. Automatic lineage inside Snowflake and Tableau saved us hours of work. Customer support and the community around the catalog help us to integrate the catalog very easily. Thanks to multiple walk-throughs, it was extremely easy to sez-up the tool and hook it up to our architecture. It is a every-day tool for our data people at the moment.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have experienced some problems with connections to Tableau and Matillion that were unexpected (we have not seen them during the POC) and took longer than expected to fix, hindering the implementation process. There is no UI for lineage building inside the tool, which would be highly beneficial
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Observability on our data and architecture, ownership, clear understanding of terms and data assets among teams
Using Atlan to enhance data governance and data visibility
What do you like best about the product?
It is user friendly and allows users to easily view a shopping window of all things data related in our eco-system, from raw data to managed data assets and reports, along with enriched meta data explaining what the data asset is, what is comprises of, and how its been built.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it does not yet have a google dataform connector :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing a single pane of glass to view all of our data assets and how they are built in a simple and easy to understand tool for end users. Allowing users to answer questions for themselves and to see whats available without intervention from the data team. It also allows lineage level tracking for the technical teams and allows a platform for all data documentation instead of it living on a wiki that few know about
Great way for teams to browse data
What do you like best about the product?
Good interoperability with multiple data sources. Allows users to see what is available across all assets in a single spot. Reasonably easy to navigate for the data neophyte. Our support experience has been good. We use it frequently for small scale data consumption requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to see a feature that would publish the results of a saved query on a set cadence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Filling the gap in meta data management. Providing an easy portal to our data for the teams.
Helplful docs for data-users.
What do you like best about the product?
the search function - where it is placed and how relevant the search results are have helped me onboard to my new (data) organization faster than had I not had access to such a helpful catalogue.
Lineage diagrams clearly mark where data is coming from.
Though I've not used it much, I like that it's easy to directly edit the descriptions of fields. I think that's why the data I have access to is so well-documented (it is easy to update).

What do you dislike about the product?
I frequently flip back and forth between (1) atlan, and (2) the github repository containing our dbt models. I know that atlan is integrated so it's possible to see within the app how exactly (raw SQL) a model is built but I feel like this feature could be fleshed out more so that I'm not tempted to flip back and forth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it helps me to learn quickly about the data that is available at my org.
The simple to use and integrate data catalog for your data lineage and management needs
What do you like best about the product?
With Atlan we are able to connect across a breadth of systems that we rely upon to easily see where our data resides and identify which teams manage it. Connecting to systems was fairly straightforward and it has made searching for data artifacts much easier. This has helped in onboarding new data team members. Multiple new hires have commented on how simple it is to use and they frequently reqly upon it as a key tool in their toolbox. It has also assisted in bringing more of the organization into leveraging data more effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
No really strong downsides to the product. Like many products Atlan tries to encourage a degree of product lock in but they are still open enough to allow for documentation and management to live in other tooling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Where does our data sit at rest and what data models/artifacts are available to use in product analytics and other use cases.
