Atlan Reviews & Product Details

My primary contact Geoff Warren, I love his working ethic and his passion for Atlan; you can hear it through his voice. The stuff I love about Atlan is you can take it anywhere, whether during the requirement gathering section or after completing a BI product and wanting to show End User(s) what they are; it is super interactive.

The Glossary & Assets, I see them overlapping each other. Maybe we need to develop a Metric section rather than Glossary Page. This Metric section is just focusing on collecting metrics. How I look at it, 1. Raw Data -> Data Models -> Calculated Fields -> Measures (Assets) 2. Metrics/KPIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool went from "sweet spot of value proposition and very competitive with awesome customer experience" to "This is hands down the best solution for data governance". In the last two years, I've seen so much growth with constantly new and useful functionality that now my actual view of the tool changed, to me this tool is a "must-have" for a successful data warehouse, it not only helps to solve the data governance challenge but also serves other pain points, a simple example is the lineage, for my use case it is so well built that I can drastically reduce time for doing impact analysis before changing any DB objects. I could give a lot more examples but the most remarkable fact to me is that they never lost their track, with the glossary of terms, approval system, navigation experience and linked resources, they really nailed the solution for the classic data governance any Data Warehouse has these days and on top of that they never lost impeccable customer support.

I only regret I didn't find this tool before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Rich data lineage with easy setup and readability

2. Automation capabilities to propagate data tags are user intuitive and easy to configure

3. User interface is consistent and easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Submitting issues and enhancements is easy but often results in limited insight into the path to resolution from the support team

2. Out of the box reporting capabilities exist but have a significant opportunity for improvement

3. Data profiling feature as it is provides little to no value and would be extremely beneficial if customer feedback was incorporated into the offering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atlan is easy to get up and connected to several critical sources right out of the gate. In addition, we have found the usability of the frontend 2nd to none as several users have had no issues getting into the tool and finding value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently Atlan does not integrate with some of the tool we require such at Quicksight but we know they are working towards resolving this. In addition, as there are multiple ways to accomplish the same thing it is not always clear which is the best practice so having a bit more clarity on things like that would be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When working with Atlan, I really liked how easy it was to set up, integrating seamlessly with our modern data stack. Their support has been great - it was very easy to get in contact with relevant people and they even helped us set us to shape our thinking around governance.

It's a great product, but I'd like to see more functionality to help us prioritise our governance efforts - e.g. getting a better handle of search queries that are conducted within Atlan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atlan has unlocked visibility in to data previously unavailable to us. Through the lineage feature and plentiful integrations, we can more easily answer questions about where each dataset goes and what it's used for. Combined with the world class support that the Atlan team provides, Atlan enables us to have a better handle on the breadth of data that we have internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an early customer of Atlan, there were some growing pains with features that weren't fully baked yet or didn't have the bugs hammered out. As the company and product expands, I'd like to see more fully-fledged documentation that describes the full picture of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the lineage feature of Atlan the most. Like that, the tool asks for data owners and connects with Jira and Slack to make it a seamless experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like searching terms in Altan does not give the best request. Also I found setting up personas and roles was not very easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atlan has decreased the time it takes to research our internal data sources and the relationships data within our warehouses. As a data engineer, it's also alleviated our team of being the single source of knowledge for the definitions of our data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a query option within Atlan that I don't have much use for. The data preview is extremely useful, but any sort of query development is much better served or accomplished with another tool that we have because those other tools are more robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a lot of different features and every feature is super useful. What the greatest aspect is, is their service. They have very custom and quick support and I would definitely recommend Atlan! The masterclasses and tips & tricks are also super useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything. What could improve a bit more is the stability of new features. Since development is quite fast sometimes features could use a bit more time to test without bugs. BUT, I would rather have the new features fast (like now) than a 100% perfect :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best things about Atlan is they have not treated us like a customer, but as a partner from the very beginning. What I mean when I say that is, they have had check-ins with us and our team, proactively seeking feedback and ways they can make improvements to better help us accomplish what is important for our team. We have never had such a positive relationship with a customer success manager as we do with Atlan from any other software before. Another great thing is its ability to seamlessly integrate into software/tools that we are already using, like Google suite, Snowflake, Fivetran, dbt, Salesforce, Jira, Slack, and Tableau... And they're constantly working on making more connections to popular tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was definitely some confusion for us in the beginning with the language that Atlan uses to talk about governance - purposes, policies, personas... lots of alliteration there made it easy for us to confuse how they should each be used. But the support team is VERY responsive - I mean we have a response within 15 minutes - and they are eager to help and better the experience and the product overall.
