Atlan is used as a data catalog and a data governance tool. The primary idea for implementing Atlan for data cataloging in day-to-day work was to create a business data catalog to support asset discovery and management.
I have been using Atlan for two years.My main use case for Atlan includes data catalog, business glossary, import-export, data lineage, lineage import-export, and lineage generator, as I was the intense tester of Atlan. In my day-to-day work, I use Atlan to analyze databases to find lineage or try to import business glossaries from Excel from several business sources, importing them into Atlan or trying to visualize the lineage, which is exactly what the customer needed. Importing a business glossary connects business terms with some IT tables and columns and makes it visible. What is unique about my main use case is that I was heavily involved in the import-export formatting of data, trying to automate some import-export, figuring out how the templates work for export-import, how the specific import-export workflows run in Atlan, what failures can happen, the uniqueness of data, and finding matching partners in lineage cases.

We use Atlan as a data discovery tool for data assets in our organization. It is particularly valuable for its ability to serve as a business glossary and a metrics glossary. Additionally, it helps in lineage tracking to find data sources and overall dataset schema and is used extensively for data quality checks.
Its core offering is a data catalog. However, it goes beyond that. We are building a hub of knowledge, encompassing business and data knowledge across the entire company. The idea is that any employees or new hires needing onboarding can use it to understand the data they'll be working with, the data sources in the company, and the business knowledge of their field.
