Metadata Extraction

Metadata forms the foundation of the data catalog. It offers context, making it easier for you to understand and collaborate with data at scale. Metadata extraction tracks changes, ensuring users always have a current and complete view of data across all sources.

Query Log Processing

Query logs are a rich source of information about who is using data and how. Alation analyzes these logs to spot usage patterns unique to your organization. Share these valuable insights with all data users across the business. Support smarter collective data usage.

Profiling

Assess data quality quickly with data profiling. Alation connectors gather helpful column-level profiling statistics – including minimum, maximum, frequency distribution, and null values. Surface these details to users within workflows, so they can determine if 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's contents, quality, and usefulness.
