Streamlines reusable data quality rules and has highlighted the need for richer logic and documentation
I worked in Ataccama ONE Platform from version 5 and now we have version 15, which has improved a lot. However, there is still considerable scope for improvement because Ataccama ONE Platform was not that great around 2020 when I started working with it. There can still be more features including writing any logic, improving more keywords for logic building, and enhancing address validation, based on my understanding. User experience is actually good; I do not have any complaints or feedback on that. However, the documentation part can be improved because documentation is key for any organization or tool. If anything is needed for understanding, you have to rely on documentation. Ataccama's documentation has potential for improvement.

Automation has transformed data quality workflows and now saves significant time and cost
A quick specific example of how our team uses Atlan to automate a manual or high-risk task is the robust functionality for the quality management of metadata sets. The most helpful thing here is all the dashboards that provide visibility in one place. We use this tool because 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 through automation. My team, whether technical or non-technical, adapted Atlan very quickly because of its simple and intuitive user interface. The best features Atlan offers include the ease to extract and modify the data. We can do very quick and smooth integration. It is an open-source framework that provides extension capability to the APIs it uses. Tons of automation help to automate tedious and time-consuming tasks, thereby reducing error and saving time and cost. It is extremely user-friendly and intuitive to navigate, especially the user interface. Atlan has positively impacted my organization by saving time and money while consolidating our metadata sets. Integration with Amazon and Tableau have definitely sped up our time to value. We have saved fifty-five percent of our time through the automation of tedious and time-consuming tasks. Extraction of data is easy. In this data catalog solution, data modification is really simple and easy. Integration with other software is very seamless and easy, thereby simplifying our workflow. Atlan is very scalable and helps to grow our organization while catering to our needs. It enables the team to automate manual and high-risk tasks to make them error-free as much as possible and save time and cost. It is a very cost-effective tool that should be highly adaptable and usable in any organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"By understanding the existing data from various source systems, we were able to arrive at the requirements for a data quality plan, and create a separate plan to improve the data quality."
"At the beginning, we had almost 80 percent data quality, and after using Ataccama ONE Platform, we reached 90 percent."
"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."
"For small databases, it is fast and convenient."
"Ataccama ONE Platform has positively impacted our organization because before its implementation, completing tasks such as more than 100 or thousands of rules took more than a week, and now we complete those tasks in less than two or three days due to the automation and one-time task capability."
"Ataccama ONE Platform has positively impacted my organization by being much cheaper compared to other DQ tools and providing very good support."
"Ataccama ONE Platform goes to some large corporations, we are using it for very big data, there is a lot of data being processed by Ataccama in our organization, and it is very good in scalability."
"Overall, I rate Atlan a nine out of ten."
"Atlan has positively impacted the organization since it helps in discovering already available assets, allowing for reduction of redundant ingestion of external data and reduction of time to market for any project."
"By switching to Atlan, we have increased our productivity and saved a lot of business time through automation."
"Overall, I rate Atlan as a ten out of ten."
"The interfaces and automated imports have helped me with transparency, as we have different sources from different techniques such as DBT, Snowflake, and other regular databases, making it effective to connect these sources and navigate through them, filter them, and enrich the data with additional meter information."
"Atlan is helpful for identifying datasets and discovering PI data, such as the classification levels of datasets (gold, silver, bronze)."
"The technical support services are good."
"They also offer automated lineage embedded in the connectors, allowing us to track where the data is coming from and where it's going. We find it very efficient in cataloging data sources. Additionally, the user-friendly interface is a big plus, making it easy for users to familiarize themselves with the solution. These two features, in my opinion, stand out the most."
 

Cons

"I think the algorithms used in Ataccama ONE Platform need to be defined more and more to figure out things much more perfectly than they are now."
"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
"The non-free version has much more capabilities and I did not have the occasion to try it."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."
"For improvement, I feel there is a size issue. Whenever we create a monitoring project with a large amount of data, such as multiple catalogs, it starts failing."
"I have heard that the licensing and setup costs are quite high, especially if we try to connect for a support call."
"Data movement is a pain."
"The product could be improved by offering scheduled email reports for managed assets."
"There are some improvements. There is a feature called Playbooks, which basically allows me to automate certain activities that would otherwise be manual. It's a very interesting feature, but there is room to improve it because, depending on the task you automate, the playbooks seem to have a hard time handling the task. So, it could be improved there. Even though it's a great feature, it can evolve further."
"Customer support for Atlan is not so proactive."
"Working with templates, Excel import, export, and running automations is not self-explanatory, and you always need help from Atlan support team."
"Certain UI changes could make Atlan more user-friendly."
"Atlan can be improved by integrating agents that can support users in finding assets of interest."
"One of the main areas for improvement is its governance capabilities."
"The challenge is in the lineage, where it requires improvement. Atlas needs to capture areas where organizations use less known applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced."
"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."
"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
"We pay per-user license. It's a different classification model than with other solutions, where they usually charge you for resources. So, that was a better model for us. And because of this difference in models or classification, it was cheaper for us to go with Atlan."
