Data lineage tools for Data Lakes
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.

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• Enabling to understand which data sources are outdated or which datasets are relevant.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