66 Atlan Testimonials

"Atlan isn’t just a data catalog. It is really a place for data people to collaborate, to discuss things, to join together. It’s a home for your data team."

“I don’t have a technical background, and I started as an Executive Assistant. I got into Sands Capital working for the CTO as a Technology Coordinator, and was exposed to developers and tools, Our CTO thought I’d be a great fit, and that’s how I got into the Data Initiatives Team.”

“Our data maturity has really grown over the years, and that led to the idea that we need to be looking at our own data platform and capabilities, and using that as a launchpad for backing up the services we provide to clients, and enabling us to build and power a load of products we can offer to clients and run ourselves.”

“My initial impression was the user interface and the thought put into every element — making it searchable, easy to navigate. When you have thought through small things like icons, it paints a good picture.”

"We evaluated all the open source solutions out there. Each one of them has a niche, but none of them gave me the comprehensive data portal — data discovery, quality, lineage and governance — that I was looking for."

"As data teams, we’ve painted ourselves into a corner. On one hand, no data team wants to be a help desk or dashboard factory, resolving Jira requests for data pulls or cranking out ghosted dashboards. On the other hand, as much as we might resent it, this is some of the most important work we do. Optimistically, we’re victims of our boring successes; cynically, our egos are bigger than our abilities."

“We said, yes, we want to be building reusable, scalable products. We want to iterate and improve, we want to be trusted by our customers, we want to add value to them, we want to be able to have our customers self-service, we want to enable better data discovery.”

“Being able to refer to written definitions of our data elements has made it so much easier to create accurate, up-to-date reports that our users actually trust.”

“I needed a tool to do that at scale. We were talking about hundreds of, and eventually thousands of defined terms, and we were just not able to do that in the Confluence tool that we were using earlier.”

“We are big believers in automating wherever possible and the quality and depth of your APIs, the fact that everything can be API-driven, was a huge deal for us.”

“This is what we want to do, and your team has never said Oh, I’m not sure we can do that. We can do that, just give us some time, tell us about what you want to accomplish, and we’ll make that work.“

“If we didn’t have AI in our arsenal, we could find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage. Unity Catalog worked out of the box for us and Atlan gave us visibility from the cloud all the way back to our on-prem.”

“Well if you go with us we’ll be good in two years.”

"Implementing a data catalog is about adoption. After taking a look at the best catalogs on the market, I chose Atlan, and I would choose Atlan again if I had to. It’s the best UX, best experience, and best adoption.”

"Data is an important part of measuring where we are now, and what we need to do to grow further. We have initiatives like optimizing the parts we use and being more sustainable, and that’s where my team, directly and indirectly, contributes to the whole company.”
