Review from Tokyo Electron Limited - Leah QI
What do you like best about the product?
My primary contact Geoff Warren, I love his working ethic and his passion for Atlan; you can hear it through his voice. The stuff I love about Atlan is you can take it anywhere, whether during the requirement gathering section or after completing a BI product and wanting to show End User(s) what they are; it is super interactive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Glossary & Assets, I see them overlapping each other. Maybe we need to develop a Metric section rather than Glossary Page. This Metric section is just focusing on collecting metrics. How I look at it,
1. Raw Data -> Data Models -> Calculated Fields -> Measures (Assets)
2. Metrics/KPIs

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Atlan allows me to update and maintain live documentation as quickly as possible, so I don't have to develop detailed static documentation in .pdf format each time I push out data models in snowflake.
2. I can see table ERDs/Lineage between tables, which is a massive helper as I develop data models in Snowflake.
3. Atlan provides a place of comfort for my end user(s), they can trace my work and able to identify which feature within the data model is verified and which one is not.

Modern data catalog that is constantly improving
What do you like best about the product?
Constant product improvements; User friendly UI; Responsive support; Being treated as partner rather than customer; Product documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
Only minor bugs; nothing else comes to mind
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Discoverability: helps us quickly find the data our data users need by providing a centralized, searchable catalog with great UI.
Collaboration: enables teams to collaborate more effectively via Slack and JIRA extensions
Data Lineage: helps users understand the lineage of their data by showing how data flows through the organization and how it is transformed
Metrics glossary: helps to compile and document list of all company metrics in one place and link them to data sources

Atlan is a great tool to own
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like the most about Atlan is its support. The customer service is quick, helping our users whenever needed and considering our feedback to develop new features. We solved a lot of issues through the support channels. That makes the life of the tool admin really easy and the end user gets a smooth experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to crawl Sisense Periscope is a big feature that is missing. It's unfortunate that this wasn't implemented for Atlan 2.0 as we have a lot of knowledge from our team over there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It consolidates metadata from different databases making the search for metadata much easier. It tracks ownership, it allows for highlighting table status. We also use it to consolidate KPIs and to share queries
Lot's of fun!
What do you like best about the product?
Desired functionalities are working as we expected
The tool is very intuitive and simple to use
All of our data tech could be integrated (S3, Tableau, Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery)
Very good support from the Atlan team in the onboarding and also AFTER!
Reasonable cost

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. Some simple issues with some special chars in usernames keep coming back, but this is a very tiny issue. Apart from that, the tool is serving it's purpose ;-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Metadata of all of our data assets in one place (S3, Tableau, Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery)
Making our data assets discoverable (simple and broad search capabilities — to be able to find relevant data quickly across all of our assets, along with their context)
Enable collaboration and trust (gather tribal knowledge of various teams in one place)
Reduce dependencies between business, analysts, and engineers (giving everyone easy access to documentation and the ability to find data-related answers on their own)
Ability to show where the data comes from (visual lineage of dependencies between the data objects and how the data flows throughout the organization)

Everything you need around Data Governance
What do you like best about the product?
It has a lot of different features and every feature is super useful. What the greatest aspact is, is their service. They have very custom and quick support and I would definitly recommend Atlan! The masterclasses and tips & tricks are also super useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything. What could improve a bit more is the stability of new features. Since development is quite fast sometimes features could use a bit more time to test without bugs. BUT, I would rather have the new features fast (like now) then a 100% perfect :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It creates a central place to manage all of your Metadata. Atlan helps us improve Data Governance (especially with the Glossary and Lineage), increases Data Awareness and increases Data Adoption (especially with the Insights tool and the option to add owners to assets).
Best Data Catalog tool in the market
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan has native integrations with Snowflake, DBT and PowerBI. Thus it is straightforward to crawl your assets. The search functionality is excellent. Their API's are easy to use and well-documented. All these features provide immense value to our users. Also, forgot to mention they have excellent customer support with a reasonable SLA.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to impersonate a user or a persona is missing. As an admin, it is challenging to troubleshoot access privilege issues raised by any users. Also, capability to automatically assign a default persona to new users will be handy. Also, the ability to set default connector and default environment for the connector(by the admin) in the main search page will be very useful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developers can asses impact analysis using the lineage feature. Also, troubleshooting issues is much easier now. Analysts are able to search for the assets and get the results. The analysts are able to communicate with data owners using the slack integration in Atlan. So atlan acts as one-stop store for our data questions
Easy to setup, intuitive UI and very helpful support
What do you like best about the product?
When working with Atlan, I really liked how easy it was to set up, integrating seamlessly with our modern data stack. Their support has been great - it was very easy to get in contact with relevant people and they even helped us set us to shape our thinking around governance.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a great product, but I'd like to see more functionality to help us prioritise our governance efforts - e.g. getting a better handle of search queries that are conducted within Atlan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- We are a financial institution, and compliance is essential for us. Atlan helps us to significantly reduce the effort needed to comply with GDPR and localisation laws
- Atlan makes it significantly easier for us to understand the lineage of dbt-tables into looker. This helps us to optimise costs as well as identify potential impact before making changes to data architecture.
- Atlan made it significantly easier for users to identify what data means in our organisation. For us, this has been especially relevant for event data sets.

Finally be able to answer the question "Where does this data go?"
What do you like best about the product?
Atlan has unlocked visibility in to data previously unavailable to us. Through the lineage feature and plentiful integrations, we can more easily answer questions about where each dataset goes and what it's used for. Combined with the world class support that the Atlan team provides, Atlan enables us to have a better handle on the breadth of data that we have internally.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an early customer of Atlan, there were some growing pains with features that weren't fully baked yet or didn't have the bugs hammered out. As the company and product expands, I'd like to see more fully-fledged documentation that describes the full picture of the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we had difficulty understand what data gets used where and Atlan's lineage and documentation features help analytics users understand what feeds each dataset. Before, it was a complex web of finding what report used this table, which stored procedure loads it, and when the table was last updated. Atlan's integration with dbt and Tableau means that we can spend significantly less time investigating and more time developing. Additionally, data scientists have a central repository they can use to understand what data exists in our ecosystem which reduces that number one painpoint in data science-- getting the data!
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.
