Google Cloud Data Catalog vs. Atlan

A fully managed and highly scalable data discovery and metadata management service.

Atlan is the context layer for enterprise AI. It continuously reads your warehouses, databases, pipelines, BI tools, and business systems to reverse construct an enterprise data graph that captures assets, lineage, entities, metrics, policies, and relationships. On top of that graph, it enriches and curates machine-readable semantics — descriptions, popular joins, KPI and metric definitions, ontologies, and business rules — and organizes them into governed, versioned context repos: bounded bundles of context that reflect how your company defines key concepts and makes decisions.
