How to choose a Dataedo alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Check whether your bill is tied to the functions you use, the number of editors, or both. Dataedo lists Essentials at US$18,000 per year with three editors, while Data Lineage and Data Quality are separate annual tiers. Viewers are included, so count who edits, not just who reads.

Where your records stay
Ask where the catalogue records live and whether you can export them. Dataedo supports on-premises deployment and documentation exports, so this is not about losing access to your information. An owned version puts the catalogue in a database you own and gives you control over its process.
- 3
Fit with your own rules
Consider whether you can use your own definitions, review steps and fields. An owned version can link a business glossary to relevant records and use your rules for reviews. It covers recorded information and evidence, not automatic source scanning or compliance certification.
- 4
What switching involves
Dataedo offers an Excel export with selectable content. Asset and field definitions can be mapped, preserved and checked, but permissions and existing review history need separate mapping. Automatic source scanning and dependency discovery are also separate work, so agree what needs to carry across before you switch.
The option that fits
A catalogue built around your business
An owned version can fit the way your business names, reviews and manages its information. Enterprise DNA builds it around your rules, brings across your Dataedo asset and field export, checks the counts and runs the agreed version for you. Your records sit in a database you own. You pay a setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you want to manage it yourself, there is also a free version.
