Streamline Analytics with Broad, Deep Connectivity

With Alation, enterprises can seamlessly integrate their data ecosystem with the data services they rely on most. Alation’s connectors are prebuilt, fully integrated adapters that extend Alation’s data catalog to a wide range of popular data sources and business intelligence tools. An open connector SDK helps connect to anything that doesn’t have a pre-built connector.

The Alation Difference

Connect to a wide variety of data sources with minimum configuration via pre-built connectors.

Easily extend connectivity to fit any organization

Alation’s Open Connector SDK enables users to develop a connector for less commonly used and niche data sources.

Enable intelligence with deep connectivity

Alation Query Log Ingestion is a self-service utility that ingests and parses queries from any source in any format and provides visibility into key usage patterns, like top users, popularity, and lineage.
