Signal trustworthiness
Trust Flags in Alation can be set manually or automatically to flag data assets as endorsed, warned, or deprecated. Like intuitively knowing how to obey traffic lights on the road, Trust Flags guide people on how to use data throughout Alation and beyond, at the point of use.
Link to data quality policies
Document Data Quality policies in Alation Policy Center to provide context of why, how, and when rules are applied. Use the policies to trigger rules from an integrated data quality or observability tool. Create a seamless experience by centralizing policies with data and workflows.
View impact analysis
Visualize the impact of deprecation on source to target data assets, directly on the lineage graph. Use Impact Analysis and Upstream Audit to quickly discern not just what data is affected, but who and why.
We expect Soda to deliver the data quality visibility that is really important for us and having these metrics surfaced in Alation means everything is central, transparent, and quality assured.
High-quality data requires the support and involvement of business and data experts. Thus, our data catalog and data quality solution need to fully address end user needs and work seamlessly together. It’s great that Alation and DQC integrate well and complement each other perfectly to make high-quality data available.
We were in need of two core platform competencies, we didn’t need ten. We wanted those things to be best of breed at what they did — it’s a great benefit that Alation and Anomalo integrate with each other so seamlessly.
