Alation Data Catalog pros and cons

Alation Data Catalog enhances productivity for data scientists through improved metadata cataloging and SQL query publication. With features like workflow automation, metadata tagging, and customizable templates, it integrates effectively with data quality tools. However, it lacks end-to-end data lineage and requires enhancements in governance and data observability. Challenges include setting up connectors and obtaining support. There is potential for developing untapped capabilities to address these issues.
