Data lineage tools for Azure Synapse
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. It improves transparency, supports impact analysis, and ensures data integrity across an organization.

Keboola
Keboola is a cloud-based data integration platform that helps clients combine, enhance, and publish crucial information for their internal analytics projects and data products in a quick and easy fashion. It collects all kinds of operational metadata, describing user activity, job activity, data flow, schema evolution, data pipeline performance, compliance with a client’s security rules, etc. Based on the metadata, we are able to build data lineage on the fly and automatically. This makes it possible to understand where the data is coming from and how it is used, both for analytical and regulatory purposes.

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• Enabling to understand which data sources are outdated or which datasets are relevant.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