Manta

Good product for visualizing variable lineage in stored procedures

Avantages :

You can visualize the data lineage of variables/ fields / items in stored procedures to trace the procs through from inputs to outputs or vica versa (where do outputs come from)

Inconvénients :

There is not a way to export data lineages to excel to show final function/proc outputs and neatly show where they were derived from. It would be great if you could use this show for each output from a function/proc how that output is derived and what intermediate table/fields had data had to flow through and the transformations

Manta is really good but we expect more

Avantages :

1. The depth and visualization of lineage is really great. 2. Ability to create custom models 3. Large number of Native Scanners 4. Picking up more detailed metadata information.

Inconvénients :

1. Many resources need to be improved and enhanced, like Java, Tableau, OBIEE 2. Manta follows column-column, table-table, schema-schema linking. It would help if there is an option to link resources at any level. We use custom models a lot, so this feature would help us in connect native and custom objects at any level.

Pathfinder

Avantages :

We gained a good overview in our ETL processes my using MANTA. That made it a lot easier to find specific informations.

Inconvénients :

The maintenance of our data is very complicated. For the Import of our processes the exported data had to be selected manually.

Best Lineage and Harvesting tool

Commentaires : Customer support was excellent and got great support all the times.

Avantages :

1. It has a great potential to integrate with different kinds of databases like Oracle, MS SQL etc., and load various metadata objects with a bit of configuration with less turnaround time. And few features like showing expressions etc has impressed our user. On top of it, Manta has provided a world class feature to integrate with downstream systems like Collibra etc., to push assets/data.

Inconvénients :

Manta was awesome tool and didn't find drawbacks.

Gran softwrae estadístico

Avantages :

Lo hemos utilizado para trabajos en la universidad, con una gran facilidad de uso y mejoras en la parte de resultados.

Inconvénients :

Quizás sería bueno que puedan agregar más funcionalidades para la gente que se inicia.

Great data lineage product

Commentaires : Its really good experience. I would say still Manta has to improve /add more functionality to have better user experience to save the time .

Avantages :

I had looked many other data lineage product but Manta was best as it can read human written views , procedure and scripts. It create perfect data lineage.

Inconvénients :

As we have complex data warehouse its very difficult to trace in one go. We always needs to break and lots of extra objects comes in lineage as well. If it is possible to filter out some object in lineage it will be really helpful. for eg: views/proc which generate audit column values always comes as part of tracing hence it is overhead to see those objects.
