The question that matters: “In what situation will I regret choosing A over B after 3 months?”
Connect Atlan to dbt Cloud to auto-map column-level lineage across 500+ models without manual documentation
Monte Carlo's lineage graph traces an anomalous dashboard metric back through dbt models, Fivetran pipelines, and source tables in under 2 minutes, cutting root cause analysis from hours to minutes.
Enable 100 analysts to find and understand datasets in seconds with search, tags, and quality scores replacing Confluence wiki pages
Monte Carlo's ML-based freshness and volume anomaly detection learns baseline patterns automatically, alerting on incidents like a table that stopped updating 6 hours before the business noticed missing dashboard data.
Define quality rules in Atlan and receive Slack alerts when freshness or null rate thresholds breach for critical tables
Monte Carlo routes anomaly alerts to the Slack channel of the table owner based on data catalog metadata, ensuring incidents land with the right engineer rather than a generic alerts channel.
Assign data owners and certify 200 critical datasets as 'trusted' so analysts know which tables are production-grade
