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.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • May 28, 2026 launch added trusted context for analytics agents, expanding AI use cases.
  • July 2026 job postings show active hiring across engineering, product, and customer success.
  • May 21, 2025 Series B raised total funding to $65 million, extending runway.

What critics are saying

  • Open-source DataHub commoditizes core catalog features, squeezing cloud conversion by 2027.
  • BuiltWith and LinkedIn list only 11-50 employees, limiting enterprise support capacity.
  • Bessemer-backed rivals can outspend Acryl; one missed AI-context cycle destroys differentiation.

What makes Acryl Data unique

  • DataHub’s open-source core serves 3,000 organizations and 15,000 members, sustaining adoption.
  • Acryl Cloud bundles discovery, governance, observability, and AI context in one platform.
  • LinkedIn-origin DataHub and Gobblin give Acryl enterprise-grade lineage and ingestion credibility.
