Alation's Right Start program helps deliver value quickly
What do you like best about the product?
What is most helpful about it is how simple it is to add policies and terms to the catalog. Combining this with easy data dictionary upload helps data stewards and SMEs effectively memorialize metadata to the data marketplace.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost per data steward is a bit high is one thing. Another thing is having to pay to enable column level data linieage. Sure you can get by with just table level, but column level lineage is key for impact analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alation's data catalog is helping improve data literacy via it's layout. Users better understand that information exists about the data they care about because this metadata is now exposed to them in the data catalog. In addition to data literacy, it helps users make confident choices in the datasets they consume because they can now see not only who else uses the data but also queries that have been shared for others to use. This benefits the company because it cuts down on duplication of effort but also helps create a standard process.
