Alation Agentic Data Intelligence Platform Likes & Dislikes
Alation listens and gives the user community an opportunity to share ideas and work together to improve the Alation tool and even the applications specific use of the platform. The ease of the connectors and ability to connect/pull in Metadata is very smooth and easy to implement. The exposure of database content is great via the Alation Analytics database and allows teams to report on usage/curation progress as well as other KPIs. Alation's continued expansion and solution package is very palatable.
Good UI/UX, Nice arrangement of Schemas, tables and columns, Good query compose feature.
1. Alation is easy to use. I've gone from searcher to SME to Product Owner in a short amount of time. It's also easy to train users. 2. The Search feature is amazing. 3. They continuously make improvements to Alation. 4. The Compose query tool is probably our most popular feature, as users can query our data from within the tool--that makes it unique!
A few aspects of the application that can use updates: Automating lineage has been problematic from time to time but this would be a key feature to implement. Admin related content within the Alation Analytics tool are lacking and would be a nice piece to support the tool from an administrative standpoint. Some of the maintenance/infrastructure for on-prem has had issues from time to time and we would like to see this improve (though the focus is on the cloud related features at this point).
Starburst connector did not work well for us, Compose only supported user credentials instead of OAuth, Customer support was not able to fix our issues in time.
1. I wish we could add design elements to make some of the pages more attractive. But then, it IS a catalog. 2. Exclusion rules (when you want to omit certain tables or schemas from a data source) seem a little confusing to set up correctly at first. 3. They don't allow ingestion of every database type (but they do allow many). 4. We are not able to see the communication templates that are emailed from Alation to our users.

Alation did not work well with starburst connector, but apart from that its a nice tool with good data discovery features and good query editor.
