To make smart decisions, your teams need quick access to reliable data. But when your datasets, reports, and other assets are spread across environments, it can take days to hunt down the right information.
Bring all your data together with Alation. Now everyone — from data teams to business users — has instant access to the information they need.
As you search, the catalog surfaces your company’s most popular data assets. There’s no need to know technical jargon or specific keywords — the catalog uses machine learning to interpret natural language and pinpoint the right data for every search.
See descriptions, terms, definitions, policies, documentation, and links to each asset’s data source. Now you don't have to guess what each asset is, or how to use it properly.
View lineage, tags, quality, trust flags, endorsements, and comments from other users. Now you know how reliable each asset is at a glance.
Bring Alation into Excel, Google Sheets, Slack, and other tools where you need to use the latest data. Now every user can find, understand, and trust governed data.
Data silos keep valuable knowledge from being shared across teams. With Alation, everyone can see:
What data you have
Where your data lives
How to use your data
How trustworthy your data is
And much more
