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.

Centralized access control has secured sensitive data and supports compliant self-service analytics
Immuta is very helpful, but it can be improved in a few areas. The initial setup and policy design can be complex and require a learning curve. The user interface could be more interactive, especially for non-technical users. Policy troubleshooting and debugging could be easier with better visibility into why access was allowed or denied. Performance optimization and deeper integration with more tools could make it even better. Additional improvements would strengthen Immuta further. The documentation and real-world examples would help teams onboard faster. More out-of-the-box policy templates could reduce setup time. Improved policy simulation and testing would help teams understand the impact of changes before applying them. Stronger alerting and monitoring features would help quickly identify access issues. Finally, more end-user training and simplified workflows would make it easier for business users to adopt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The technical support services are good."
"The best feature of Atlan is its integration with communication platforms like Microsoft Teams and Slack, so business users don't have to go into a data catalog to see metadata about data assets."
"The AI part is integrated for enriching metadata engagement, making it a comprehensive tool."
"Atlan is helpful for identifying datasets and discovering PI data, such as the classification levels of datasets (gold, silver, bronze)."
"By switching to Atlan, we have increased our productivity and saved a lot of business time."
"As a senior analytics engineer, Atlan's ability to show end-to-end data lineage is the most important feature for me."
"Overall, I rate Atlan a nine out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable feature is restriction."
"Instead of manually tagging data, Immuta’s auto-discovery capability identifies sensitive information, such as country labels, gender information, and other personal data."
"All features available are good."
"My experience with the technical service from Immuta is that they are super helpful."
"What I appreciate the most is its user-friendliness."
"Immuta has had a very positive impact on our organization, helping us strengthen data security by ensuring sensitive data is only accessible to the right users, simplifying compliance with clear audit trails and consistent policy enforcement, reducing manual access management to save time for data and security teams, and enabling safe self-service analytics so our team can access data faster while still meeting governance and regulatory requirements."
 

Cons

"One of the main areas for improvement is its governance capabilities."
"Customer support for Atlan is not so proactive."
"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."
"The product could be improved by offering scheduled email reports for managed assets."
"The challenge is in the lineage, where it requires improvement. Atlas needs to capture areas where organizations use less known applications."
"In my experience, it might be less suited for collaboration across teams."
"Atlan can be improved by integrating agents that can support users in finding assets of interest."
"Working with templates, Excel import, export, and running automations is not self-explanatory, and you always need help from Atlan support team."
"Immuta is very helpful, but it can be improved in a few areas."
"Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing the monitoring capabilities."
"In terms of improvement areas, I would like to see simpler ways to integrate the approval workflow in other systems, such as being able to approve data access directly from Collibra on Immuta."
"The implementation process with Immuta was quite challenging, primarily due to issues related to database handling and the syncing of user groups."
"We have had some challenges with their support when we were migrating to the cloud version. We we had some issues, and it took us several attempts to get a proper responses as part of that migration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Immuta's pricing is expensive."
