Good afternoon friends. I am currently researching the data catalog and metadata tools for my company. I can see that a lot of subscription-based (paid) software offer AI-driven data discovery techniques and other "fancy" and advanced features. Our goal is, however, way more simple: We need a tool that would let us give meaningful descriptions to the databases and tables, assign owners for the specific DBs/tables, have an intuitively looking list of our databases with basic metrics such as • min value • max value • null count • outliers • other data quality metrics we may come up with for each table. Would that be possible to achieve with DataHub? How much do you think it would take in terms of time to deploy and configure the app? The reason I am asking such a basic question is the fact that I've already tried the demo and it doesn't seem to show every single thing I have on my requirement list above. Also, I've tried Amundsen, but that's such a fresh product - there is no way it's even close to satisfying at least a part of what we need.

Hi @crooked-toddler-8683! Welcome to DataHub 🙂 Our quickstart usually takes very little time to set up on your laptop (less than 15 mins).
We don't have table / column stats modeled in the metadata model yet, but thanks to no-code metadata that we JUST landed 😄 we should be able to evolve much faster now!

@mammoth-bear-12532 thank you for your kind response, sir. So, I guess there is a chance that it may not be a good fit for me? It should be so simple to find a catalog that would satisfy the aforementioned requirements, yet I see nothing in the market, unless it costs too much

Hi @crooked-toddler-8683, I'd recommend you stay connected to the project as it is evolving quite fast and these things are on most community members shortlist of things they would like to see. You might be surprised 🙂 If you want to contribute these features that would be even more awesome 🎉
