    Improved data discovery has reduced redundant ingestion and now supports governed asset management

    Reviewed on Dec 05, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    Atlan  is used as a data catalog and a data governance tool. The primary idea for implementing Atlan  for data cataloging in day-to-day work was to create a business data catalog to support asset discovery and management.

    What is most valuable?

    Atlan offers excellent features including support for many different active metadata, such as lineage, which allows visibility into how an asset has been generated.

    Active metadata and lineage features help quickly understand if an asset already exists, who the data steward is for that asset, and provide complete visibility on available fields and other technical aspects regarding the asset.

    Atlan has positively impacted the organization since it helps in discovering already available assets, allowing for reduction of redundant ingestion of external data and reduction of time to market for any project.

    What needs improvement?

    Atlan can be improved by integrating agents that can support users in finding assets of interest.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Atlan has been used for one and a half years.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Atlan overall a nine out of ten. I choose nine out of ten because even though Atlan is a very good product, it can be further improved. For others looking for a very complete data catalog tool with many features that can support data discovery, lineage, and more, I suggest choosing Atlan.

    Transforms Data Collaboration with Ease and Efficiency

    Reviewed on Nov 09, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I appreciate most about Atlan is how it transforms working with data into a truly collaborative and seamless experience. By bringing together people, data, and context in a single platform, it enables teams to genuinely understand and trust their data. I find it incredibly easy to locate what I need, document my work, and maintain organization without the usual confusion. Atlan is clearly designed to make data serve people, rather than forcing people to adapt to data. Its smooth integration with modern tools allows teams to work more efficiently, and it makes the entire data process feel more human, transparent, and enjoyable.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    One aspect I find challenging about Atlan is that it can sometimes feel overwhelming due to the sheer number of features and configuration options. For newcomers, the learning curve is quite steep before you can fully appreciate its value. There are also times when performance slows down, especially when handling very large datasets or complex integrations. Additionally, I would appreciate more flexibility in some customization options to better accommodate specific team workflows. However, these concerns are relatively minor compared to the overall experience—once you become familiar with the platform, Atlan proves to be both powerful and enjoyable to use.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Atlan addresses one of the most significant challenges in the data world: the lack of visibility, collaboration, and trust in data. By bringing together scattered data assets, documentation, and context into a single, unified workspace, it becomes much easier to discover, understand, and confidently use data without wasting time searching or doubting its accuracy. Personally, Atlan has made collaboration across teams more efficient, reduced reliance on individual expertise, and enhanced overall data quality. It has also simplified onboarding for new team members and sped up decision-making by ensuring everyone has clear and reliable access to the right data when they need it.

    Has struggled to meet business needs but supports technical data exploration and transparency

    Reviewed on Oct 31, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    I have been using Atlan  for two years.

    My main use case for Atlan  includes data catalog, business glossary, import-export, data lineage, lineage import-export, and lineage generator, as I was the intense tester of Atlan.

    In my day-to-day work, I use Atlan to analyze databases to find lineage or try to import business glossaries from Excel from several business sources, importing them into Atlan or trying to visualize the lineage, which is exactly what the customer needed. Importing a business glossary connects business terms with some IT tables and columns and makes it visible. What is unique about my main use case is that I was heavily involved in the import-export formatting of data, trying to automate some import-export, figuring out how the templates work for export-import, how the specific import-export workflows run in Atlan, what failures can happen, the uniqueness of data, and finding matching partners in lineage cases.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Atlan offers for me include reading the data, having the interfaces, and reading the data from tables from different sources, performing automated import exports, and connecting sources to IT systems, which I consider the biggest strength of Atlan.

    The interfaces and automated imports have helped me with transparency, as we have different sources from different techniques such as DBT, Snowflake , and other regular databases, making it effective to connect these sources and navigate through them, filter them, and enrich the data with additional meter information.

    Atlan has positively impacted my organization by helping the business people use it to understand where the data is, what meta information is, and attempt to assume the roles of a data owner and a data steward, which was new for them. They find it much easier to search and navigate the data and better understand the data.

    The change has affected my team's productivity and collaboration by reducing the time of finding the right data, navigating, and creating a new report, which helped the business people understand their jobs. When creating a new data governance team, it is a challenge for people to assume these roles, and using Atlan was a significant advantage in helping them identify what the role is and begin to assume it.

    What needs improvement?

    Atlan can be improved by concentrating more on business data since it is developed from developers for developers, and it needs to be more business relevant. For instance, when re-importing data model diagrams, Atlan provides some diagram automation that is not connected to the business glossary, which I consider a significant fault. Atlan needs to improve by focusing more on the business side of data, not only on technical aspects.

    If you want to focus on technical considerations, it would be beneficial to have an interface with a real business data modeling tool such as Erwin or other business data tools, since data modeling is not the same as Draw.io. Additionally, Atlan can improve its workflows, which are hard to understand. Working with templates, Excel import, export, and running automations is not self-explanatory, and you always need help from Atlan support team. If business people want to use it and run their own reports, it must be easier to customize for their business needs.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Atlan is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I did not hear anything negative regarding Atlan's scalability. We started with a small group and brought business teams or new members on board, and there were no issues at all. Scalability is perfect.

    How are customer service and support?

    I can only share positive results about Atlan's customer support. They were keen on helping us, providing answers in a very comfortable time frame, making it quick and easy, and they always tried to offer the best solution even for our very customized requirements.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I have experience with many modeling tools including DataSpot, ARIS , and Enterprise Architect, but those are not really data catalog tools. Depending on the purpose, it is important to start from the business side for implementations related to data understanding and data catalog, rather than from the technical side.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Atlan, there were other options such as Collibra  and Atlassian, but I was not involved in the proof of concept and we started working once Atlan was selected.

    What other advice do I have?

    For the user experience, it is sometimes tedious because when reading the source and finding the data tables, if I then try to find matching partners or visualize some lineages, it can be overwhelming. I need to either shrink the scope of my task, use lesser complexity, or use fewer tables to generate business values. Sometimes it can simply be overwhelming.

    My advice for others looking into using Atlan is that they must be clear upfront about the purpose and scenario for which they want to use it. If they want to connect databases, read, surf, and do that, then I would recommend it. However, if they want to start a data governance organization or business understanding, that would be a totally different story because Atlan has strengths in technical connections.

    Atlan should be made livable for business people. It should not be solely from developers for developers, as there is a vast range of business users who are happy if they can read Excel sheets but do not have knowledge about XML data formats and other technical considerations. If you want to expand your customer range, Atlan should learn business language and not focus so much on technical language, making it usable for business professionals. I rate this product a five out of five.
