Decision-makers need clarity on definitions, overlaps, and the execution realities that turn metadata into outcomes. A robust Enterprise Metadata Management industry report segments by component (catalog, lineage, glossary, policy, active metadata), deployment (SaaS, private cloud, on-prem), buyer size, and vertical. It assesses integration breadth—connectors to warehouses, lakes, ETL/BI, notebooks—and evaluates semantic layers and metrics stores for definition consistency. Methodology transparency—sources, sample sizes, and assumptions—builds trust. Vendor profiles should examine UX, lineage completeness, policy automation depth, security posture, and total cost of ownership, not only demo polish or raw connector counts.
Operational benchmarks make findings actionable. Useful metrics include coverage (datasets, columns, owners), lineage depth and render speed, policy enforcement events, and time-to-approve access. Adoption measures—searches, glossary edits, owner assignments, and domain onboarding velocity—predict persistence. Case studies must quantify outcomes: incidents prevented, audit hours saved, time-to-insight reductions, and release velocity improvements, with reproducible methods. Maturity models outline pilot, scale, and optimize phases across…
