Collaborative Metadata Management with Atlan and dbt: My Experience as a Data Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
As a data engineer, I've been particularly impressed by Atlan's ability to easily integrate metadata generated by dbt and custom metadata. The integration with GitHub has also been beneficial, allowing for seamless collaboration between team members on data projects. I've found that the visual representation of lineage has been precious in understanding how data flows through the system, and seeing the complete lineage at a glance is a significant time-saver. Additionally, I've had a very positive experience with the integration between Atlan and dbt, which has been reliable and straightforward to use. Overall, Atlan has made collaborative metadata management a breeze, and I would highly recommend it to other data engineers looking to streamline their data management processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area that could be improved with Atlan is the website speed. Unfortunately, I've found that the majority of the time, the website is quite slow. This can be frustrating when trying to complete tasks efficiently, and I hope that Atlan can address this issue in the future to improve the user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Atlan has been a tremendous asset in my work as a data engineer, providing several key benefits that have helped streamline my workflow. One of the most significant advantages of using Atlan is that it makes it much easier to share information about the tables generated with anyone, even those who may not have a deep understanding of data structures. Additionally, the custom metadata feature has been invaluable in showcasing when tables are updated and the frequency of these updates. Finally, being able to quickly identify the resources affected in any workflow has saved me significant time and effort when troubleshooting. Overall, Atlan's collaborative metadata management has made my work more efficient and effective, allowing me to focus on other important tasks.

promising product with dedicated team continuously iterating
What do you like best about the product?
1. the team is devoted to helping customers, from feature implementation to customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
I left my previous job 9 months ago, where I was using atlan. at that time, I felt atlan is still a new product with areas to mature and new features to implement to be more widely adopted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. the initial problem we leveraged Atlan to solve is data lineage, especially the GUI part, rendering with collapsable nodes. Once we deployed it, we found we can use Atlan to do metadata management / data governance so our scope expanded
Atlan hits the mark

Nowhere on the platform can we see how one can get things done with in organization with largely distributed teams.

Data Catalog
What do you like best about the product?
Finally, we can store together the definitions of business terms and the way of calculating them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not see any downsides. It may require additional work to organize your projects, but this worse your efforts.

Great to work with
What do you like best about the product?
The Atlan team provide us with a lot of support to ensure we get the most from the tool. It's very user friendly and highly intuitive - quick to get going with and feature packed (that eventually we will progress to using)
What do you dislike about the product?
We have found a couple of limitations - data access controls is the biggest one that doesn't match with our companies regulations (so this is one area we aren't able to make use of)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The driver to get Atlan into the enterprise was to create a data catalogue - enabling both business and IT to be aware of our data landscape and to work together to increase and share knowledge. We are gradually moving into this space - so we haven't yet been able to fully use all the features that Atlan offers . but we are working with our 'success manager' to push us forwards.
Best modern data catalog tool and home to data teams
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan was created by data engineers for data engineers. Utilizing Atlan's integration with Reshift, Aurora and Tableau provided us with rich data and metadata insight, allowed for a super fast impact analysis using lineage, and eliminated the need to document data changes manually. Atlan allowed us to create a centralized place for business analysts to find information about company data, definitions and metrics, glossary, and project documentation. The interface is simple and very intuitive, so minimal training is required. Atlan is excellent as an onboarding tool for business and data people alike. Their APIs are easy to use and well-documented, and Google-like search makes finding data assets easy. All these features provided immense value to our users. Overall, Atlan has drastically reduced our workload in organizing data and metadata as a single source of truth. And lastly (and most importantly), Atlan has outstanding customer service; it has been with us every step of the way during the initial implementation and continues to support us with adopting the tool. They listen to their customers and address any issues very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike about Atlan, as the business specifics drive some of our challenges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Atlan helped us democratize our data. The data team receives many requests from business teams across the organization. Atlan helped us put the data in their hands, enabling them to be independent.
Atlan also became a true home for the data team, increasing our productivity by reducing the time needed for impact analysis, training and onboarding

Perfect metadata platform for all your data cataloging needs
What do you like best about the product?
We have a complex architecture, and Atlan team has been a support for us throughout. It makes interacting with data metadata relatively simple for all the teams. The search engine that allows users to find any asset within seconds is very beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific to dislike, some integrations like MS Teams, Service Now, can be further beneficial as it can add value to the overall product, but the team has been very positive about this feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its helping in connecting different teams together on a single platform. The platform is also helping in ensuring that metadata is freely accessible and not in silos.

A partner we can trust to reduce friction points between data consumers and producers
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest challenge is providing our data consumers with good contextual information about the data available to them. Beyond that, having a place our end users can easily build, execute, and share their own queries is proving powerful.
