Alation
Alation Intelligence Operating System
Alation is an enterprise data and AI governance platform positioned as an Intelligence Operating System. It addresses the problem of AI agents producing incorrect or non-compliant answers by helping organizations determine whether the issue stems from bad data, misread context, or the agent itself, and then remediate the correct component. The platform aims to keep data, context, and agents accurate and compliant over time.
Key capabilities include Agentic Data Governance, AI Governance for registering AI assets and proving compliance, Governed AI/BI for consistent metrics, Agentic Automation, and Pipelines & Observability. It features Allie AI for generative curation, Agent Studio for building and running governed agents, natural language querying of governed data, and a Marketplace for discovering and accessing approved data products, agents, and feeds across platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, and Tableau, with access requests routed through workflows like ServiceNow.
Alation is designed for large enterprises and data leaders responsible for critical data, analytics, and AI systems. The platform is offered through a conversation-based sales process; the provided pages do not specify free plans, trials, editions, or pricing models.
