Atlan runs an active metadata platform that stitches together metadata from tools like Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Looker, and Tableau into one data discovery, cataloging, lineage, and governance layer. The company was founded in 2019 in Singapore and has since grown into a recognized name in the data catalog space.
Rather than acting as a passive catalog that data teams have to update by hand, Atlan pulls metadata directly from connected tools and keeps lineage and documentation current as pipelines change. The company has been named a Visionary in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Data and Analytics Governance Platforms and a Leader in Forrester's Wave for Enterprise Data Catalogs, and it raised a $105 million Series C in 2024 at a roughly $750 million valuation.
Data engineering, analytics, and governance teams at mid-size to large organizations managing sprawling data stacks are the core users. A free tier supports small teams exploring basic cataloging, while Team and Enterprise tiers run through custom quotes that commonly range from the tens of thousands to over $100,000 annually depending on scale.
