Dataedo is software for discovering, documenting, and sharing data knowledge through a centralized data catalog.
What Dataedo is
Dataedo is software for discovering, documenting, and sharing data knowledge through a centralized data catalog. Its tools include a data dictionary, schema history, data profiling, customizable quality rules, anomaly detection, and trend monitoring. For impact analysis, it traces data flows and dependencies across systems down to object and column levels. The connector directory includes SQL Server, Snowflake, Databricks, Power BI, Tableau, and Microsoft Fabric; a browser extension displays catalog information within Power BI and Tableau dashboards and reports.
Deployment options include on-premises, self-hosted AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform, and Dataedo-hosted setups. Dataedo says its metadata repository stays in an environment controlled by the customer and is inaccessible to Dataedo. Connections collect metadata read-only and do not extract actual database data by default. The product is aimed at mid-sized organizations.
