Data lineage tools
Data lineage tools are software that allows to extract, view and analyze data lineage. Data lineage is the process of understanding and visualizing data flow from the source to different destinations. It allows to create a map of the data journey through the entire ecosystem.
Dataedo
Dataedo allows you to extract lineage automatically or design flows manually and visualize how data moves through the system with interactive diagrams. Dataedo supports object and column-level data lineage.

Octopai
Octopai Data Lineage XD is a complete, in-depth, and trustworthy automated lineage tool. With 3 different types of lineage, you’ll find everything you need in one easy-to-use platform. The 3 linage types include Cross-System Lineage (provides end-to-end lineage at the system level from the entry point into the BI landscape, all the way to reporting and analytics),
End-to-End Column Lineage (view column to column-level lineage between systems from the entry point into the BI landscape, all the way through to reporting and analytics), and Inner-System Lineage (details the column-level lineage within an ETL process, report, or database object).

Data lineage forms the foundation for accurate data analytics and management. The core features of data lineage focuses on:
• Identifying data quality issues.
• Performing root cause analysis.
• Enabling to understand which data sources are outdated or which datasets are relevant.
• Minimizing the risk of migration projects.
• Providing transparency over the life cycle of data.
Data lineage tools map the data flow and help you understand where the data originated, how it flows and transforms. To help you find the right tool for your company, we prepared a list that includes some of the best data lineage tools.
