Dataedo is a database documentation tool and data catalog that helps teams understand how their databases are structured and what the data means. It extracts foreign keys and fills in missing relationships with ER diagrams, lets users describe tables and columns and add custom fields, and groups tables into domains and data products. It also offers data lineage, data profiling and schema change tracking, with native connectors for databases, ETL tools, BI tools, data lakes and applications.
Dataedo can be run on your own infrastructure, either on-premises or self-hosted on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform. The vendor also offers a Dataedo-hosted cloud deployment; its pages do not say where that service is located. The legal entity named on the website is Dataedo Sp. z o.o., a Polish company form. No open-source edition is described on the vendor's pages. With a self-hosted setup, the repository holding your metadata stays in an environment you choose, which matters for European organisations that want control over where documentation and metadata are stored.
