I would recommend Zaloni. But before choosing they should evaluate different options so they know which one is better. Even though we have similar products, some products are good in one aspect, some are not good in others. Take the example of Informatica. Informatica is very good for database warehousing platforms. But when it comes to big data and when you have to input the data into big data then it has a lot of difficulties. Then I had to use another component that was better in handling the data. So it's based on the need. What is your objective and where are you pulling out the data? If it's just simple, you're pulling the data from only RDBMS then you can rely on Zaloni or in any other product and then you can use it right away, out of box. You don't need any other tools as such. But maybe you are specialized in one them and you have a lot of restrictions, like in financial institutions, when you're not allowed to get the data from any data source. What they do is offload the data from the database and then they put it in some server. Then you can access the data from that server. There are lots of layers for building it to manage the security. If that is the case here, then you have to look at which one suits you best. There are areas of improvement. One is especially the manual deployment process that was in place. That's one of the biggest challenges. Also when you're creating the entities it could have been done much more easily than it was. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I would rate Zaloni a seven.

The suitability of this product depends on the organization. I was not part of the decision to implement it here. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.
Data governance is the set of processes, policies, and technologies that ensure data quality, accuracy, and security throughout its lifecycle. Data governance tools help organizations implement and manage their data governance programs. These tools can automate many tasks involved in data governance, such as data discovery, classification, lineage, and quality assessment.
