FAVORABLE

“Linking Data Assets for Unified View Enhances Data Understanding Across Programs”

5.0
Feb 2, 2026
I have used Watson’s for a period of 2 years as a senior business intelligence developer in the telecommunication industry. I have found the product to be efficient and effective in providing a single point of contact and a birds eye view of the entire data assets and the connections and dependencies within other assets in my program.

CRITICAL

“Manta can do better job in supporting customers and introduce integrations”

3.0
Feb 22, 2024
The product is one trick pony, and even that trick is challenging. Customer support is sub-par, everyone is friendly and look like they want to help, but don't know how. There were more promises that deliveries. The lineage is super detailed at one piece of diagram and non-existent in the other. Overall very mediocre experience.

watsonx.data intelligence Likes & Dislikes

Like

Full picture view of the entire asset, its dependencies, descriptions, sample values, etc. It also provides an important view of the data quality percentage based on the actual values populated in the data source. Also we were able to tie all the linked assets together which makes it possible to get the birds eye view picture.

Like

Helped understand the overall complexity of our data environment

Like

The centralized visibility has made it easier for shared data assets to be more readily usable across teams and locations. Users can easily tell where data comes from, how it is defined and where else it is used in the data landscape without relying on tribal knowledge of an individual or multiple tools.

Dislike

It needs a bit of training to master the product, also the product cost is comparatively higher.

Dislike

Poor interface, complicated and hard to read lineage export spreadsheet, poor tool knowledge from sales engineer

Dislike

It was slow to build and configure, thus making it slow for users to trust and adopt. It took a hard decommission of other tools to truly gain usership.
