Shopping Cart setup - Non-technical users love that they can search for data sets and just checkout to request access, making self-service very easy. Automated Approvals - When someone requests a data set, the system automatically sends a notification to the correct data owner to approve or deny it, saving us a lot of manual work. Data Quality Scores - The platform shows users exactly where the data came from and how reliable it is, so they can trust what they are downloading.

1. Complex initial setup: Setting up the marketplace is not a plug-and-play process. It requires significant time and effort to organize the data catalog, define governance rules, and configure permissions correctly. Many teams find they need a specialized consultant to get it running. 2. High total cost of ownership: The pricing model is consumption based, which can make it hard to predict monthly costs. When you add the cost of licensing to the cost of training staff or hiring dedicated administrators, it becomes a very expensive solution for smaller companies. 3. Performance with large catalogs: Feels sluggish interface (sometimes) while managing large volume of database. Users may experience delays when searching through a massive enterprise level catalog.
