Data lineage tools for MS Access

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.

ASG Data Intelligence

ASG Data Intelligence (ASG DI) is the solution for data distrust. It is a metadata-driven platform that makes technical data “smarter” with end-to-end views of the data and its movements (data lineage) combined with business meaning and usage guardrails. It lets you visualize data flows mapped to business context, and it uniquely traces lineage by parsing code from data sources, applications, tools, and source code.

Alteryx Connect

Alteryx Connect uses powerful search capabilities to find and reuse information contained in data files, databases, visualizations, dashboards, workflows, analytic apps, and more. It lets you automatically capture and visualize data lineage between assets, improving the overall quality and reliability of shared information between data, process, and people. You can get technical data lineage by loading metadata from source and target systems and interpreting Alteryx workflows.

ER/Studio

ER/Studio is an enterprise data modeling, architecture, and governance tool. It comes with a data lineage tab which is used to primarily document ETL processes from scratch. With visual data lineage support, you can visually document source/target mapping and sourcing rules for data movement across systems.

Talend Data Catalog

Talend Data Catalog gives your organization a single, secure point of control for your data. Its data flow lineage feature allows you to narrow in on specific objects and shows you how these objects are related to each other, within a model, an external metadata repository, or a configuration. The data flow lineage is based upon connection definitions to data stores and physical transformation rules which transform and move the data.

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• Enabling to understand which data sources are outdated or which datasets are relevant.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.
