Genuinely offered, but not what the product is for. Worth knowing when you already own one of these — it may cover the need without a new contract.

Data Catalog / Discovery — questions

Which vendors offer data catalog?

10 vendors in our catalog are built around data catalog — including Atlan, Bruin, dbt, Informatica, Keboola. A further 6 offer it alongside their main job. 14 of the 16 claims cite a page on the vendor's own documentation. It is also called "discovery"; the same record covers both.

What is the difference between core and supported data catalog tools?

Core means the capability is central to what the product is; supported means it is genuinely offered but is not what the product is for. The grade comes from three independent reviews of the vendor's documentation, and only a majority verdict is recorded. If you already own a tool listed under "also offer", check it before buying a dedicated one.

What kinds of platforms have data catalog?

Most of the vendors here sit on the Data Governance, Data Transformation, Data Integration shelves. That matters when a capability crosses categories — a CDP and a customer engagement platform can both offer data catalog without being the same kind of tool.

Which data catalog providers and companies should I shortlist?

Shortlist from the core list rather than the full one. 10 vendors are built around data catalog; the 6 below that offer it as a secondary job, which is usually enough if you already pay for one of them and not enough if this is the reason you are buying. We rank by what the evidence supports, never by company size or spend with us.

Is there a list of data catalog software?

This page is it, and it is generated from the catalog rather than maintained by hand — a vendor added tomorrow appears here on the next build if the evidence puts it here. 14 of 16 claims link the vendor's own documentation, and a blank cell means no verdict either way rather than "no".
