OvalEdge
OvalEdge is a unified data governance platform for discovering, understanding, governing, and protecting enterprise data.
What OvalEdge is
OvalEdge is a unified data governance platform for discovering, understanding, governing, and protecting enterprise data. It combines a data catalog, lineage, business glossary, data quality, access governance, privacy, and data products. The catalog brings metadata from data sources into one searchable place for curation, collaboration, and discovery. OvalEdge builds lineage by parsing SQL, PL/SQL, XML, and other source code, then supports upstream and downstream impact analysis. Listed capabilities include automated discovery, column-level lineage, pipeline lineage, and report lineage. The maker advertises more than 170 pre-built connectors, including Snowflake, BigQuery, Salesforce, Tableau, and Power BI. Native integrations include Jira, ServiceNow, and DevOps tools, while platform elements can be exposed through APIs. Deployment options cover cloud container platforms, cloud virtual machines, and on-premises Linux or Windows. Authentication supports username and password, Active Directory, Okta, and SAML single sign-on for Okta. Pricing is on request and depends on connected systems, connector capabilities, and author users.
