Azure Data Catalog has helped our data governance and BI
efforts. It's an enterprise-level data dictionary that grows with our data
ecosystem. We build cloud-native apps with data management tools. And we get
insights quickly and with less overhead, and the drag-and-drop interface is one
of the best parts of it. Drag-and-drop is easy so that we can deliver quickly.
Visual effects make it more flexible. One thing to note is that working on it
requires some skill to maintain the integrity of all the components. Another
improvement would be lowering the licensing cost.

Alternatives Considered
To create cloud-native applications, we rely on Azure Data
Catalog for data management. I believe it was better suited to our organization
and maturity level regarding costs and onboarding procedures. We can get
insights quickly and with less work. Familiarity also played a role in our
choice. In general, I believe this product is worthwhile. But the IT
environment in which it will be deployed will impact this. Therefore, compared
to other tools on the market, Azure Data Catalog is the best option.
