Manta product overview

What is Manta?

MANTA is a data lineage visualization solution which extracts and analyzes metadata from report definitions, custom SQL code, and ETL workflows, to create data flows which span multiple systems and a range of technologies. Lineages are analyzed based on actual code, and both direct and indirect flows can be visualized. Data paths between files, report fields, database tables, and individual columns are revealed to users, and this information can be utilized in a range of roles.

Key benefits of using Manta

  • MANTA analyzes metadata from SQL scripts, ETL configuration, report definitions, and more, to create data flows that span multiple systems and technologies.

  • Results are visualized on a table or column level, with advanced capabilities including optional filtering.

  • Data lineages can be traced in detail, with information on what data fills each field, how data is transformed, and which data affects the path.

  • Manta Flow can be used for impact analysis before any changes are made, such as adding or removing database columns, by giving users insight into where and how changes propagate.

  • Information provided by Manta Flow on system complexity and subsystem relationships can be used for risk mitigation and cost control by data migration leads.

    Pros
    What I really like about Manta is its ability to help me organize all the needs and wants of my business. There's lots of cool features it offers and the functionality is definitely spot on.
    Customer support was excellent and got great support all the times.
    I had looked many other data lineage product but Manta was best as it can read human written views , procedure and scripts. It create perfect data lineage.
    Cons
    I noticed, that list of old Checker reports have some problem. At first shows all reports and then reduces it to selected number.

    Good product for visualizing variable lineage in stored procedures

    Reviewed 25 days ago
    Pros

    You can visualize the data lineage of variables/ fields / items in stored procedures to trace the procs through from inputs to outputs or vica versa (where do outputs come from)

    Cons

    There is not a way to export data lineages to excel to show final function/proc outputs and neatly show where they were derived from. It would be great if you could use this show for each output from a function/proc how that output is derived and what intermediate table/fields had data had to flow through and the transformations

    Manta is really good but we expect more

    Reviewed 2 years ago
    Pros

    1. The depth and visualization of lineage is really great. 2. Ability to create custom models 3. Large number of Native Scanners 4. Picking up more detailed metadata information.

    Cons

    1. Many resources need to be improved and enhanced, like Java, Tableau, OBIEE 2. Manta follows column-column, table-table, schema-schema linking. It would help if there is an option to link resources at any level. We use custom models a lot, so this feature would help us in connect native and custom objects at any level.

    Pros

    We gained a good overview in our ETL processes my using MANTA. That made it a lot easier to find specific informations.

    Cons

    The maintenance of our data is very complicated. For the Import of our processes the exported data had to be selected manually.

    Best Lineage and Harvesting tool

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    Customer support was excellent and got great support all the times.

    Pros

    1. It has a great potential to integrate with different kinds of databases like Oracle, MS SQL etc., and load various metadata objects with a bit of configuration with less turnaround time. And few features like showing expressions etc has impressed our user. On top of it, Manta has provided a world class feature to integrate with downstream systems like Collibra etc., to push assets/data.

    Cons

    Manta was awesome tool and didn't find drawbacks.

    Vendor response

    Thank you for your review, we are glad to see that MANTA helped you and we are looking forward to solving more data management issues together!
