Preserve tribal knowledge about data in your organization. Don’t lose valuable knowledge with employees leaving your company.
With data catalog business users know what data they can ask for, how to read reports and understand key business entities and metrics.
With a data catalog starting to work with a new data source is a piece of cake.
Quickly find sensitive data stored in various databases and tag it in central data catalog.
Many companies around the world right now are planning to build a data catalog and document their data, many of them were/are evaluating Dataedo for this task. Some of them hesitated for a number of reasons. Below is a collection of common questions and objections and our answers that can help you move forward with your project.
It’s true that data documentation can take a lot of time of your data experts (which is expensive), but with Dataedo you get value on day one. Dataedo scans your data sources, extracts data structures & metadata, and loads them into the metadata repository automatically. All you need to do is connect to your data source and wait for the results, which will allow you and your team to discover and understand the structure of your data.
In terms of financial investment, all you need to purchase is a license. Support and training are included.
Documenting your data sources will be a process, but if you decide to use Dataedo, you will see value from day one - data structures and metadata, which will already give you a lot of insights about your data.
To use Dataedo you don’t need expensive specialists. You will get a dedicated onboarding manager, who will help you set up the tool, provide initial training, and ongoing support. Anyone who has knowledge about your data assets will be able to create documentation in Dataedo, they don’t need to be database experts.
If you have any problems, our onboarding manager will help you. We can also list what is required for your IT team, if you won’t be doing the setup yourself.
Our customers even mention in their reviews how easy it is to set up Dataedo:
One of the things our customers appreciate the most about Dataedo is our stellar support. You have your onboarding manager at your disposal at all times and a technical expert team to help you with more complex issues. You can receive support by submitting a ticket, contacting us on live chat or reaching out by email to your Dataedo contact. You also get 1 hour of our Product Expert time each quarter, that you can use however you want – for example to check Dataedo setup, examine feature utilization or get support during a video call. If that still doesn’t convince you, take a look at how our customers rate our support on Gartner:
Dataedo is an on-premises solution, you are in charge of keeping and protecting the data. We do not have access to your data.
All work is done in our metadata repository. We only connect to import metadata from your databases and your work does not modify those databases or data (with exceptions when you deliberately push some changes back to the databases).
We don’t just fix bugs – we try to make our software better every time. Only this year (2021) we have released support for data lakes, multiple new data sources, and data profiling feature. Next year we plan to release data lineage and a lot more. You are entitled to all updates, as long as you hold an appropriate license.
Our customers even mention updates in their reviews:
