7 Metadata Management Solutions Vendors to Watch in 2019

Distinct sub-categories have branched off of the traditional data management industry over the last several years as well. These include tools for metadata and master data management, as well as data quality and governance, data integration, and machine learning and data science. Although not linear in functional use, the categories are inter-related in relation to the big data analytics process.

Cue the process of seeking out, evaluating, purchasing, and deploying a data management solution. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to big data. Solutions come in a variety of flavors—ranging from data management solutions for analytics to operational database management systems. Choosing the right vendor and solution is a complicated process—one that requires in-depth research and often comes down to more than just the solution and its technical capabilities.

In that spirit, we’ve turned our gaze to the future of data management software. Whether it’s the release of an innovative new product, a bump in venture capital, or inclusion in one of the top analyst reports, these are the providers that have earned watch list status from Solutions Review for the year ahead. The vendors are listed in alphabetical order and have specific areas of expertise.
