The Data Intelligence Platform with the Broadest and Deepest Connectivity
Connect to Virtually Any Data Source
Streamline Data Analytics with Broad, Deep Connectivity
Alation’s broad range of native data source connectors accelerate time to insight and power data intelligence across the enterprise. Extend connectivity to additional data sources with the Open Connector Framework SDK.
Query Log Processing
Query logs contain a rich source of intelligence about who is using data and how it’s being used. By analyzing these logs, Alation gleans vital insights into usage patterns unique to your organization and makes these insights available to your data consumers.
Metadata Extraction
Metadata is the foundation of the data catalog. With metadata extraction (MDE), Alation makes sure users always have a current and complete view of metadata from across connected data sources.
Data Lineage
Data lineage is crucial to understanding how data came to be, as well as understanding the downstream impact of changes. Alation connectors process SQL queries & scripts to extract the information needed to build these essential object relationships.
Run Queries
Alation connectors make it possible to run SQL queries against a wide range of data source types, including RDBMS and even some NoSQL and application sources. Best of all, these queries can be run right from Alation’s built-in intelligent SQL editor.
Profiling
Data profiling helps assess data quality. Alation connectors gather deep column-level profiling statistics including min, max, frequency distribution, and null values – helping users determine whether the data is fit for use.
Sampling
Sometimes, a glimpse of the data is all you need. With sampling, a subset of the data is extracted and presented to users – offering a quick view into a table contents, quality, and usefulness.
Authentication
Authentication is a foundational security pillar that verifies users are who they say they are. Alation connectors let you match the source- and organization-specific authentication methods you’ve already established, including SSO.
Connect with Alation
Alation has pre-built connectors for a wide variety of data sources. Alation’s Open Connector SDK enables users to develop a connector for less commonly used data sources.
