   That's a great point, we think of Secoda as _both_ a search and curation tool. The search portion of the tool is accomplished through the no-code integrations. When you connect Snowflake, for example, we extract metadata about the tabl

   Thank you! Secoda is different from DataHub in a few ways: 1. If you're using the DataHub open source solution it requires a data engineer to get the platform up and running and maintained, which can be a fairly expensive cost dependin

   Secoda is different from ThoughtSpot in a few ways: 1. It is likely that you'll need to setup a 1:1 meeting with a ThoughtSpot expert to help get your company up and running on the software. Our goal with Secoda is to be a self-service

   You've hit the nail on the head here. Long term we want to bridge the gap between the data team and rest of the organization through a central repository of data knowledge. Using MDM's terms the data team = IT, the rest of the org

    Thanks, we hope so too! At Secoda, we really want to make data less intimidating for anyone in the organization to explore and use. When the whole company can use data to help inform their decisions it really does make a big difference.

    We have pre-built integrations with many popular data tools (Snowflake, dbt, Tableau, etc.) that can be setup in less than 5 minutes. If those don't fit your needs then we can definitely setup some time to discuss the API.
