Here’s the difference between Alation and Flyte. The comparison is based on pricing, deployment, business model, and other important factors.
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.
Flyte provides a cloud-based machine learning and data processing platform. The open source structured programming and distributed solution enables concurrent, scalable and maintainable workflows for machine learning and data processing. Uses protocol buffers as the specification language to specify these workflows and tasks.
