Acryl Data offers Acryl Cloud, a metadata platform for data management that combines a data catalog with data observability. It helps data producers and consumers organize, understand, and derive fast value from data using Shift Left practices that embed testing early in development. The platform continuously detects data quality incidents in real time, automates anomaly detection, and provides time-based data lineage to trace root causes, with both push and pull metadata ingestion. Pricing is subscription or usage-based, serving teams from technical to non-technical to monitor the health of datasets and pipelines and accelerate issue resolution.
