OvalEdge

OvalEdge provides a powerful and automated way to visualize your Data Flow Effortlessly. Its algorithms build the lineage from the most accurate source, source code. It crawls the source code from various connectors. After that, it parses its language like SQL, PL/SQL, XML, etc., and then builds the lineage.

Engrafo

Engrafo automatically creates data catalogs, data flow diagrams, and data lineage. It can extract data lineage from all common SQL dialects and generate flow charts to create overview and information about critical ETL flows. Moreover, it extracts metadata from your BI Tools and automatically creates data lineage back to the data catalogs.

Secoda

Secoda provides end-to-end data lineage across your entire data stack. It automates column and table level data lineage. In additional, Secoda also brings in tests, events, and ETL into data lineage. All of Secoda's lineage is automated, but users can also manually contribute to lineage using Secoda's API.

MANTA

Manta offers a powerful scanner for the Microsoft SQL Server technology. Once configured, Manta can automatically connect to the MS SQL resource for extracting and analyzing the pertinent metadata within the selected databases. This metadata includes but is not limited to tables, views, indexes, SQL procedures, schemas, databases, columns, and triggers. Then, Manta can parse all the SQL programming code and logic stored within. This allows Manta to generate lineage down to the column level while showing all transformation logic associated with individual column elements.

Azure Purview

Microsoft Purview provides a unified data governance solution that offers many capabilities, one of which is showing lineage between datasets created by data processes. It supports automated asset-level lineage for the datasets and processes, while manual lineage allows you to document lineage metadata for sources where automation isn't yet supported without using any code.
Metadata collected in Microsoft Purview from enterprise data systems are stitched across to show an end-to-end data lineage.
