Using Atlan as a tool for our data governance program has been easy and positive.
What do you like best about the product?
We like the google chrome extention, playbooks, and the trident suggestions.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have not identified anything at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Atlan has assisted in helping to build a solid bedrock for defining assets, validating the source, accuracy and integrity of those assets. The analysis we are in the process of has allowed us to identify and correct errors in reports actively used by the business.
Product has been great for beginning our data governance journey
What do you like best about the product?
The first feature that pops up when using Atlan, compared to other options we tried, is the simple -yet effective- interface. At a simple glance, Atlan might seem like a simple product that doesn't have much to offer, but when you explore and use it, you realize it has many (if not all) of the features its competitors have, but they've worked hard to offer a clean and user-friendly interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, the few items that were challenging for us, I shared them with the Atlan team and they're actively listening to improve their product.
For example, the lack of integration with Microsoft Teams, and some nice options available in other reporting tools (e.g. Looker) that aren't available for Power BI reports, like report preview.
However, Atlan has been open with us in sharing some roadmap items that might be added, including some of the ones I mentioned above.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now, documentation! Both technical and business documentation is lacking in our data & analytics environment. Atlan gives us that central place that our users can use as an entry point to our data products.
Second, ownership. Atlan provides our users with easy-to-identify owners for all our assets, which translates into saved time for our users and our data developers.

The Data Catalog of the people
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan is constantly making sure how they would be able to generate value with our metadata. In other words, they listen to their users.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are improvements to perform on their insights section because UX is different when using Bigquery UI, and users wouldn't be used to the switch. But as the "Insights" section is an optional feature, it won't affect the primary purpose of Atlan. (Data Discovery, Data Lineage)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since Atlan arrived at our company, we have been able to have a unique source of truth regarding business definitions and data discovery.
Atlan Makes it Easy to Interact with Metadata
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to interact with our metadata. It's simple to upload information and easy to edit it as well. Generally we find that people have a simple time accessing the information they need. The search functionality is quite strong and I find the UI attractive. The Atlan team is extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much that I can say. We've had a really positive experience working with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously people didn't know where to access data and how to use data in context. They would ask questions in Slack channels taking away time from our engineers. Since launching Atlan we've reduced requests in our support slack channel by 50%, saving 1 full FTE of data engineering time.
Atlan, at the heart of our successful data governance strategy!
What do you like best about the product?
The Customer Success & Experience Team! They are always available, patient and ready to help at any moment of the day!
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing to dislike on Atlan - our journey has always been fun and challenging
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical problems most of the time and we work a lot of product adoption
Active Data Catalog for the Modern Data Stack
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to utilize Atlan's integration with Snowflake and Power BI provided us with rich data and metadata insights regarding our analytical data assets (tables and views) and Power BI reports and dashboards. Atlan also provides a truly visual data lineage showing the sources, transformations, and targets of different data assets. Another distinctive area where Atlan shines is the rich search interface which aids the discovery of business glossary terms and data assets.
The Atlan customer success is very responsive to our requests. Atlan's customer success team work in close collaboration with our internal team to remediate issues and provide us with information about new features and how to make the best use of them.

What do you dislike about the product?
Mapping business glossary terms to data assets was challenging at first. We had to work with the Atlan team to create a workaround custom solution to get this done. Atlan has recently released product updates to make this process much less arduous for our team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Atlan as an enabler of our data governance execution specifically around important capabilities such as a business glossary, data dictionary, data discovery, and data lineage. Pertinent to the broad adoption of these capabilities is the need for collaboration amongst teams. Team members can easily search and discover new data assets and collaborate on fixing incorrect definitions or introducing new terms.
This program is a collaborative based software to house all data usage sources in one place.
What do you like best about the product?
This program is extremely user-friendly. There is a resource for all programs used with multiple options to review and learn. With this being my first time using a program, there isn’t anything to compare to. However I have no complaints.
What do you dislike about the product?
With still learning my way around the complete usage and benefits this program offers, I do not have anything negative to pinpoint at this time. All the related articles and step-by-step features are 100% direct and helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
