hi Team,

 

I just worked on a project with Purview and the way we set up DQ there was different. Creating data products and then creating DQ connection separately than the one used to scan the physical metadata.  But here in Ataccama its different like here we can ceate DQ rules directly on to the Terms, and here I saw we create the source directly.

 

Want to understand similarities and differences between Atacama and Purview from any experts who has spent time in both tools :)

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Vikas

Hi ​@vikas1286 , 

Thank you for your question.

From what I know about Purview, it is Governance first, whereas in Ataccama Data Quality and Data Governance are highly connected.

Purview separates governance and execution by defining DQ at the data-product level with separate connections, while Ataccama tightly integrates physical sources, business terms, and DQ execution—allowing rules to be created directly on terms and reused enterprise-wide.
In Ataccama Data Sources need to be connected only once for separate Use cases. Business terms and DQ rules can be created once and reused across many sources enterprise-wide. 

Please let me know if you need more details.

Kind regards, 
Ekaterina
