Alation DQP is a powerful data quality capability enabling you to manage, monitor, and integrate your data sources’ data quality metrics within Alation’s Data Intelligence Platform.

DQP brings data quality from Cloud Platforms like Snowflake and Databricks directly into the Alation Data Intelligence platform, making DQ insights available to everyone.

With DQP, Alation users can access up to date data quality results directly in the catalog, visualise metrics on lineage diagrams, and act on upstream alerts to prevent downstream impacts, ensuring you can trust your data and BI reports when making business decisions.

DQP is a service which runs on Alation Services Manager (ASM). Please refer to the ASM Overview for more information.
