Detailed Review

Dataedo grew out of a documentation tool and is the most practical option here for teams that start with databases rather than a governance programme. It combines a data catalog, automatic and manual data lineage, data quality and profiling, a business glossary, ER diagrams, data classification and schema change tracking.

Prices are public: Essentials is $18,000 per year, Data Lineage $24,000 and Data Quality $32,000, all with a minimum of three editors and unlimited viewers, community users and integrations. A 14-day free trial runs on your own data, and a proof of concept licence is available through sales.

It can be self-hosted on Windows, AWS or Docker, or hosted by Dataedo. The company is Dataedo sp. z o.o., registered in Gdansk, Poland, and the first release of the product dates to 2013. Prices are listed in US dollars, not euros.

What Dataedo does well

  • Published annual prices and a 14-day trial on your own data
  • Self-hosted or vendor-hosted
  • Catalog, lineage, quality, glossary and ER diagrams together
  • Unlimited viewers and integrations
  • Polish company registered in Gdansk

Where Dataedo falls short

  • Prices are listed in US dollars
  • Minimum of three editors on every plan
  • Lineage and quality are separate, more expensive tiers
  • Began as a desktop tool; the web portal followed in 2019

Standout feature. Public annual prices, a trial on your own data and a self-hosted option, which together are rare among catalogs.
