"Atlan: A New Cornerstone In Our Data Management Journey"
5/5
What do you like best about Atlan?

Atlan seamlessly integrated into our modern data stack, with Snowflake and Sigma at its core. The integration with Sigma, empowered by the Chrome Plug-in, emerged as a standout feature for us, elevating user experience and adoption. With the Chrome extension, all users in our BI enviornement have an enriched experience with Atlan providing data definitions and lineage while also enabling users to submit Jira tickets without leaving Sigma.

The Atlan University is a great resource and training tool. However, the format of the short videos without seamless transitions could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Next Generation Data Governance"
5/5
What do you like best about Atlan?

Clean, user friendly interface. Was relatively painless to get all of our data sources added in quickly and we had all of our sources supported right out of the box. Beyond the obvious usefulness of end to end lineage, that mining features are also great for understanding what tables and columns are most used, and even helps identifying slow or expensive queries. Chrome extension allows users to get to information without switching applications and Teams integration helps keep questions centralized and front of mind for the org. Support and Customer Success have been great to work with. Upcoming AI features will make managing the platform with minimal staff even easier, and should also help drive user adoption through ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

One function I would like to see added is the ability as an admin to see the application as a particular user does. With personas and purposes you can deeply customize what a user can see and do and having the ability to quick validate that instead of needing test accounts would be a timesaver.

Additionally the text editing in the Glossary is extremely basic and needs simple functions like Undo added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of flexibility around custom fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Data Cataloging Simplicity"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Atlan?

Atlan is great for our data stakeholders to be able to easily find data in our data lake. There is data that some stakeholders didn't know existed. In addition, their Insights feature makes it very easy for someone with limited SQL experience to query data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

One of the downsides is a feature that we haven't been able to use yet. They have the ability to create data lineage from your metadata. Unfortunately, our data is stored in Athena which isn't currently supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Modern Catalog with E2E Visibility"
5/5
What do you like best about Atlan?

Atlan has built-in first party integrations with Snowflake, PowerBI, Sigma, Fivetran, and dbt.

Instead of relying on engineering teams to spend months at a time to integrate to Atlan, we can get quickly up and running in weeks, if not days.

Atlan has one of the strongest data lineage parsing mechanisms out there that creates a comprehensive data lineage view of data assets from Snowflake database tables / views to the models that transform them, and even exposes through to PowerBI.

The interface is easy to use and bridges the gap between technical metadata and business contexts of datasets with the glossary of the organization.

Its true strength is enabling a single collaboration area between engineers, analysts, and business users alike to empower organizations to become data centric. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

Although Atlan is expanding into various integrations across the ecosystem, there needs to be a way to accelerate the first party integrations to other strong ecosystem partners like Coalesce and Soda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Atlan as the ideal interactive business metric catalog product"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Atlan?

Atlan provides not only a robust product for metadata management, but also a great customer experience in terms of both UI as well as implementation support.

I especially liked the seamless integration with our data assets hosted in BigQuery and Looker.

Our Customer Success Manager and his team were extremely helpful during the rollout and provided various practical advice on how to engage the relevant teams in my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

As the product is complex and dynamic (improvements keep on coming), there were a few cases where it did not work perfectly. Fortunately, all operational issues were rather quickly (hours-days) resolved by the helpful support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user experience (UI) of Atlan deserves special mention. Its intuitive interface simplifies navigation and usage, making it a powerful tool for metadata management.

Additionally, the considerable engagement demonstrated by the Atlan Account Executive and Engineer contributed to a seamless tool evaluation process.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

Depending on a company's maturity level, the multitude of features provided by Atlan can be overwhelming. While these features hold significant potential, their abundance might prove to be overpowering for new users, potentially hindering their ability to fully leverage Atlan's capabilities.

"Incredible tool for data-curious users"
5/5
What do you like best about Atlan?

I love how easy it is to get access to find the answers I need using SQL. Before Atlan, I would have needed to jump through many loops to access our data. With Atlan, I can access all tables, which are organized and described clearly so that I can discover data efficiently. Atlan also makes crafting, saving, sharing, managing, and reusing SQL queries simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

Nothing - even when I have had issues in the past, Atlan's team would work to resolve them quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Atlan is a great tool with fantastic customer support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Atlan?

Our data engineering team have enjoyed the ease of setup with Atlan as dbt documentation work they had already done easily surfaced to Atlan to populate the asset profile fields. Also, the asset fields automatically populated by Atlan have been very helpful in our setup process, making the information in the tool already useful for our working processes. In addition, the customer support from Atlan has been phenomenal, providing support and resources for every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Atlan?

We had some technical issues during our setup, but Atlan support has been quick to troubleshoot and offer solutions as we've worked through any problems that have come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
