Dawiso
What it is
Dawiso is an enterprise data-governance platform that organizes metadata into governed, AI-ready data products. Its catalog discovers sources and enriches metadata with business context using AI. Search includes intelligent tools, dynamic filters, knowledge graphs, and column-level lineage. Teams can connect technical metadata with definitions, ownership, usage details, and sensitivity classifications. Dawiso advertises more than 40 native connectors, including Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Power BI, and Tableau; some integrations are marked on the roadmap. Deployment options are SaaS on Azure, private cloud, and on-premises. In hybrid setups, Dawiso says only metadata transfers over TLS-secured connections. Corporate includes an MCP Server for AI assistants. Standard starts at €445 a month with five user seats, five contributor licenses, 20 viewer licenses, unlimited connectors, and Slack forum support.
