ALEX Likes & Dislikes

Like

1. Fully Automated cross-application data lineage. 2. Powerful, Automated Data Quality. 3. Cloud-Native Scalability with Broad integration coverage

Like

cost of deployment, and amount of data which can be handled through it

Like

This is some of the best cross system data lineage (at the column level) to provide deep visiblity into the data origins and flows. I also like the AI powered features like the intelligent classification, ananomly detection and the natural language explanations that speed up some of the tasks I do in the platform. One of the best things is the many pre built connectors that are offered in the library for this tool which really help to streamline onboarding different tools and data bases.

Dislike

1. Sleep Learning Curve & complexity. 2. Integration & customization challenge 3. High Cost & Enterprise-Only focus . 4. Limited regional support & Task management features

Dislike

lack of advanced features and user experience must improve

Dislike

I found the initial set up to be a bit more complex and confusing then it needed to be. And even though there are a lot of pre built connectors, I find that legacy or older system integrations that I require still need custom work, which is a bit frusterating. I also find the search not to be so accurate at times and have to play aroudn with it to get what I need. I also wish they had better pricing for non enterprise scenarios so I could roll it out so some smaller subsidaries.
