What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Atlan is that it is very easy and integrable with other data sources, which is very convenient and time saving. By switching to Atlan, we have increased our productivity and saved a lot of business time. Our team, whether technical or non-technical, adapted to Atlan very quickly because of its simple user interface.
A quick, specific example of how my team uses Atlan day-to-day is that we introduce some new technologies in our system and every time integrating those tools or technologies with Atlan is much easier and smoother.
My team uses Atlan to define a flexible set of metadata, including measuring the quality of said data. Atlan is also a partner of ours, so we use it to integrate with our own tools. It also enables the team to automate manual and high-risk tasks and to make them error-free as much as possible.
What is most valuable?
The best features Atlan offers are that it is very easy to extract and modify data. We can perform very quick and smooth integration. Its open-source framework provides extension and capability to the API it uses. It has a user-friendly interface, easy access to data, data tables, and a lineage feature.
Atlan provides extensive and seamless integrations, a ton of automation, and an extremely user-friendly and intuitive interface to navigate.
Atlan has impacted my organization positively because it has been very helpful. Atlan has certainly saved time and money by consolidating our metadata sets. Integration with Amazon and Tableau have definitely sped up our time to value.
We have been able to save time and money by consolidating our data by at least 45%.
What needs improvement?
Atlan can be improved because API documentation could be enhanced.
I wish the support team could be quicker in their response time.
The reason why I rated it a nine is that it has improved our compliance and risk management. What could have made it a perfect ten for me is if it had improved API documentation and if the support could be much quicker in their response time. It is also very easy to adopt and has good pricing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Atlan for about six years.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Atlan is that it is a well-suited tool because it is very cost-effective and easy to use. It also has robust functionality for the quality management of metadata sets. The most helpful thing here is all the dashboards that provide visibility in one place. In my experience, it might be less suited for collaboration across teams.
Atlan is very easy to use, and anyone could pick it up relatively quickly. I rated this product a nine out of ten.
