Alation Pricing Overview

I appreciate the close connection between data, metadata, articles, and glossaries that Alation provides. This feature simplifies understanding and managing complex data relationships. I enjoy how Alation makes it easy to see query history related to the datasets I'm exploring, which enhances my data exploration experience. Additionally, I value the ability to save 'canned' queries, allowing me to connect with established and defended metrics effortlessly. The integration with our in-house hosted LLM to use plain language for finding existing, documented sources is another great asset. This feature enhances data accessibility and efficiency. I am also impressed with how seamlessly we migrated from our on-premise version to a cloud-hosted solution, ensuring no degradation in value for users and keeping advanced users well-informed during the transition. With such capabilities, I am highly likely to recommend Alation to a friend or colleague, rating it a perfect 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it complicated when dealing with datasets that have the same column name across multiple tables. Although I can search by field and limit it by table, tag, or source, I can't consistently get the same results when I try to search 'data' within 'table' with 'tag' from only 'source'. This inconsistency in search results can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We value how the platform allows us to connect detailed technical information about our data, such as data dictionaries and lineage, with non-technical documentation. Automations of essential data governance functions has proven crucial for us to effectively manage regulatory & data risk compliance requirements. Alation’s highly engaged approach, along with their account management and technical support, has truly set them apart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The roll-out of (agentic) AI has started in Alation's product offering, but has not matured as much yet as we would like. Data profiling capabilities do exist but in our view are underdeveloped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
