Atlan, the active metadata platform for modern data teams, announced that it has been recognized as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Data Catalogs for DataOps, Q2 2022. Atlan received the highest score in the current offering and strategy categories.
“We believe this validates our place as a pioneer of active metadata and a leader in this space.”
According to the report, “Atlan is the tool of choice for DataOps and data product deployment. Atlan’s vision is to create frictionless data product deployment through a single metadata and data automation platform.

The Forrester Wave™ assessment evaluated 14 of the most significant enterprise data catalogs across 26 evaluation criteria. The evaluation is a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research, with a view of the relative positions and key differentiation of the top vendors in the market. Atlan received the highest score possible in 17 criteria, including Product Vision, Market Approach, Innovation Roadmap, Performance, and Connectivity, Interoperability, and Portability.
“We’re excited to be named a Leader in this Forrester Wave report,” said Prukalpa Sankar, Co-founder of Atlan. “We believe this validates our place as a pioneer of active metadata and a leader in this space.”
The Forrester Wave™ report states: “Atlan is more than metadata and data governance, standing out from the competition… Extensive integration makes data sharing easy, flexible, and scalable within hybrid distributed ecosystems for analytics and operational use cases.”
Just three years since its launch, Atlan is the tool of choice for DataOps and data product deployment for a growing list of customers, including WeWork, Plaid, Postman, Scripps Health, TechStyle, SnapCommerce, Delhivery, and Belcorp.
“Atlan is pushing the boundary from a DataOps standpoint,” said Venkat Gopalan, Chief Digital Officer at Belcorp. “You’re disrupting the industry by thinking differently. That’s the core essence of Atlan.”
“Our platform has been designed as more than a traditional data cataloging or a data governance tool,” said Varun Banka, Co-founder of Atlan. “It was built by a data team for the evolving needs of data teams, including transparent data flow and delivery, easy-to-use experience for every data user, and open infrastructure. We can’t wait to continue innovating and bringing the latest in active metadata to modern companies around the world.”
This recognition comes on the heels of other big news for Atlan — becoming the first data catalog validated as a Snowflake Ready Technology Partner; winning the MDS Rocketship Award for Data Discovery; and being named as a Gartner Cool Vendor in DataOps and in the inaugural Market Guide for Metadata Management
