Atlan

Atlan is a data catalog and metadata platform that helps teams find, understand, and trust their data. It automatically discovers tables, columns, dashboards, and models across your stack, builds lineage showing how data flows, and lets users search and preview data assets the way they search the web. It is built to end the problem of data teams not knowing what data exists or whether it can be trusted.

Key Features

• Automatic discovery of data assets
• Search and preview for tables, dashboards, and models
• End-to-end lineage across the stack
• Data governance and access policies
• AI-generated documentation

How it works

The platform covers discovery, governance, and collaboration: data owners can document assets, set access policies, and track quality, while analysts can find the right table, see who owns it, and understand its history. It integrates with warehouses, BI tools, and orchestration platforms, and it includes AI features that generate documentation and answer questions about data.

Atlan is priced by quote with a free trial, and there is no permanent free plan. It fits mid-size and large data teams that need a modern, collaborative catalog. For small teams the cost is hard to justify, and simpler documentation or open-source catalogs may be enough.
