About Atlan
Atlan is a data catalog and context platform that helps teams find, understand and govern their data. It combines a graph of business systems with descriptions, metrics and glossary terms.
What it does
Atlan connects to business systems and builds a graph of the assets in them, including lineage that shows how data moves. People can search for datasets, read their descriptions and see who owns them. The same context can be made available to everyday tools and to AI assistants, so answers come from the company's own definitions rather than guesses.
Key features
- Search and discovery across connected systems
- Lineage showing how data moves between assets
- Glossary terms, descriptions and metric definitions
- Context shared with chat tools such as Slack and Teams
- A shared context repository that teams can maintain
Who it's for
Data governance teams, data teams and enterprise analytics leaders that need a common understanding of their data. It suits organizations with many systems and many people who need to find the right dataset.
Pricing and good to know
Atlan is sold to businesses through a sales process, and the site offers demos and customer stories. Its catalog works best when the people who know the business keep the descriptions and definitions current. Rollouts usually involve planning which systems to connect first.
