Super Helpful for a Mobile Gaming Company That Collects TONS of Data!
What do you like best about the product?
As a mobile gaming company, we collect TONS of data. We were mainly attracted to Atlan because we needed a "source of truth" for all our data sources and a data lineage tool. Atlan has made it easy to document our rapidly growing database and reports, as well as visualize how each asset connects. Atlan has also made it possible for our non-analytical teams to search for Tableau reports and query our database without SQL coding skills.
We especially love how easy it was to get Atlan up and running. It integrated with all our existing tools (Slack, Jira, Tableau, Snowflake, etc.), and the Atlan team has been with us at every step. The customer service has been phenomenal -- even post-set-up. Shoutout to Steven for creating personalized tutorial videos for us! Thank you!

What do you dislike about the product?
Just a few bugs here and there, but Atlan's support team has been extremely responsive and helpful!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data governance, data lineage, documentation. Atlan has saved our analytics team so much time and energy by acting as a "source of truth"! We're able to focus on our own tasks rather than performing simple queries for other teams.
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
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Atlan helps to understand our data and business metrics. We keep business terms definitions along with data and rules (SQL) how to calculate them.
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.
Metadata Management
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan reduces the time developers spend understanding context of their data assets. It gives data producers a platform to document and a place for consumers to learn and understand data. The platform is intuitive and integrates with our existing application ecosystem.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about Atlan. One downside of the product is switching from your data model, database, or BI layer to the Atlan UI to get more information about the data. Having Atlan embedded within the BI layer would be helpful and is already being worked on/available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Reduces time developers spend understanding context of data - this allows us to generate more meaningful ETL more quickly and allows us to have a better handle of our data assets
- Allows consumers to get closer to the data and understand it more easily with data definitions, query preview, glossaries, etc - this allows requirements to be more specific
