Benefits:
1. It has a great potential to integrate with different kinds of databases like Oracle, MS SQL etc., and load various metadata objects with a bit of configuration with less turnaround time. And few features like showing expressions etc has impressed our user. On top of it, Manta has provided a world class feature to integrate with downstream systems like Collibra etc., to push assets/data.
Drawbacks:
Manta was awesome tool and didn't find drawbacks.
In sum:
Customer support was excellent and got great support all the times.

«Great data lineage product»

Overall rating
Benefits:
I had looked many other data lineage product but Manta was best as it can read human written views , procedure and scripts. It create perfect data lineage.
Drawbacks:
As we have complex data warehouse its very difficult to trace in one go. We always needs to break and lots of extra objects comes in lineage as well. If it is possible to filter out some object in lineage it will be really helpful. for eg: views/proc which generate audit column values always comes as part of tracing hence it is overhead to see those objects.
In sum:
Its really good experience. I would say still Manta has to improve /add more functionality to have better user experience to save the time .

Overall rating
Benefits:
1. The depth and visualization of lineage is really great. 2. Ability to create custom models 3. Large number of Native Scanners 4. Picking up more detailed metadata information.
Drawbacks:
1. Many resources need to be improved and enhanced, like Java, Tableau, OBIEE 2. Manta follows column-column, table-table, schema-schema linking. It would help if there is an option to link resources at any level. We use custom models a lot, so this feature would help us in connect native and custom objects at any level.
