In terms of ROI, I would say that Atlan is better. The way Data Hub is implemented at the moment, Atlan is much better; it's much, much faster.

Regarding enhancements for complex projects, I have noticed that sometimes Data Hub does not provide a complete picture of the lineage, particularly in complex data pipelines such as when we fetch data from an API to S3 and subsequently to Snowflake.
