Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Atlan yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Atlan across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Atlan is cited as: Gartner recognizes Atlan as a Leader in both the Metadata Management Solutions Magic Quadrant (2025) and, as of 2026, the Magic Quadrant for Data and Analytics Governance Platforms” Muse Glimmer 30B · Data catalogs · comparative prompt · first choice
“Atlan is the leading active metadata platform in the current generation of the category and the most commonly shortlisted catalog for cloud-native data stacks in 2026.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Data catalogs · direct prompt · first choice
“Some modern entrants (like Atlan) bridge this gap by offering strong automation but allowing developers to extend functionality via API.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Data catalogs · scale prompt · first choice
“Shortlist (3-5 Tools): Atlan (modern stack), Alation (collaboration), OvalEdge (ROI-focused), Collibra (governance-heavy).” Grok 4.1 Fast · Data catalogs · scale prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Options to Avoid ... Commercial tools (Collibra, Alation, Atlan, Select Star)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Data catalogs · budget prompt · hard negative
“Avoid pricier ones like Atlan/Alation ($10k+/year).” Grok 4.1 Fast · Data catalogs · budget prompt · hard negative
“a lower-tier hosted catalog like Atlan or DataGalaxy can reduce ops burden, but these are usually not the best fit for a tight budget” GPT-5.4 mini · Data catalogs · budget prompt · soft negative
“Rapidly improving, but has notable growing pains.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Data catalogs · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Atlan. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 177 of the 184 answers that named Atlan and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Most recent

Events in person

Last twelve months

As the event pages on atlan.com state them, read September 28, 2026.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page atlan.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Atlan's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Atlan, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Atlan by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Atlan is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Atlan, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at atlan.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
