The editors at Solutions Review have compiled this list of the best open-source data lineage tools to consider for your next project.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Searching for data integration and data management software can be a daunting (and expensive) process, one that requires long hours of research and deep pockets. The most popular enterprise data lineage tools often provide more than what’s necessary for non-enterprise organizations, with advanced functionality relevant to only the most technically savvy users. Thankfully, there are a distinct group of the best open-source data lineage tools out there. Some of these solutions are offered by vendors looking to eventually sell you on their enterprise product, and others are maintained and operated by a community of developers looking to democratize the process.<\/p>\n

In this article, we will examine the best open-source data lineage tools, first by providing a brief overview of what to expect and also with short blurbs about each of the currently available options in the space. This is the most complete and up-to-date directory on the web.<\/p>\n

For an in-depth breakdown of supporting data quality processes with data lineage, our editors recommend this short guide<\/a><\/strong><\/span> courtesy of MANTA.<\/p>\n
