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.
Atlan has many branches and features. Perhaps the most valuable one is the abundance of out-of-the-box connectors. As soon as you get access to the product, you can start using their connectors, which are easy to use and connect across a wide variety of data sources. This eliminates the need for lengthy development efforts to create new integrations.
They also offer automated lineage embedded in the connectors, allowing us to track where the data is coming from and where it's going. We find it very efficient in cataloging data sources.
Additionally, the user-friendly interface is a big plus, making it easy for users to familiarize themselves with the solution. These two features, in my opinion, stand out the most.
