“Great multi database data catalog that can be used on-prem or in the cloud”

5.0
Feb 27, 2024
For us it was the only product in the market that would allow to centralize, in a easy way, a data catalog from multiple database technologies (Key pair, SQL, MongoDB, etc.). Product has a lot of features and I really loved how great was customer support and how eager they were to listen for new features/improvements for the next release.

    Good tool for metadata management, works with most DBMS, has features to build Data Dictionary and Business Glossary. Recently introduced domains and status bars (for BG terms, domains) help navigate makes user experience more pleasant.

    Many features realised that fit perfect in the user requirements, stable and relyable.

    Installation very easy, usecases really oriented on my requirements. I was looking for a tool to document the structure of our MSSQL Databases and store the documentation in its own database. Dataedo is obviously the only tool that follows that approach. The export to pdf and html works very fine. Many nice features, e.g. "uses" and "used by" shows at tables and views where they are used in other views. Additional its a poor mans backup of skripts. Can't image how one ccan't work without such a tool.

    Already a great tool that just keeps getting better

    We implemented Dataedo about 3 or 4 years ago. The driver then was mostly to develop data dictionaries for our bespoke systems. Dataedo was exactly what we were looking for in terms of features and pricing (we are a small non-for -profit organisation). The team at Dataedo have always been very responsive and receptive to customer feedback. I really value their great customer service and motivation to keep improving their product.

    Implementation was easy and long term benefits are huge

    Aug 22, 2021
    Implementation of Dataedo was straight forward and quick to do. The tool is great for us as we have very little previous database documentation and it was all stored in the developers heads. Going through the time to input all the information of course takes time but once it is there the ability to search and navigate the database is great. Dataedo is especially useful when new staff start or we work with a new vendor as it helps them get up to speed with our database so much quicker UPDATED - We have since i originally wrote the review started a project designing and building a new database. My role in this is the data migration from the old system to the new, to say that Dataedo has been useful during this project would be a massive understatement. We upgraded to the latest version which meant i was able to use the web based interface which as been a dream to navigate and so quick as well.
