Here’s the difference between Actiondesk and Alation. The comparison is based on pricing, deployment, business model, and other important factors.
Actiondesk is a spreadsheet software that lets you pull data automatically from data sources such as databases, data warehouses and SaaS. With Actiondesk, you can easily find key information, build auto-updated reports and replace your manual Excel and Google Sheets reports. It works just like google sheets, so you won't have to learn a new clunky and complex tool.
Alation provides a data cataloging platform. It automatically builds a catalog of useful data documentation, covering all of the data sources, and allows users to collaborate and work on the data. It processes enterprise unstructured data by centralizing knowledge into a single place using machine learning and human analysts. The search can be made using keywords in plain English. Enables users to access relevant information (including experts, lineage, keys and indexes, relevant queries) and documentation on all tables, across the organization’s data sources. The clients include PepsiCo, Dow, Fox Networks, BMW and others.
