Key features of our Data Discovery solution

Discover, scan, and classify your data automatically with Tale of Data’s AI-powered Data Discovery tool designed to streamline governance, ensure compliance, and give you full visibility into every data asset.

Mass Data Discovery

Automatically scan all your connected data sources to detect anomalies, assess data quality, and map changes over time. Get instant visibility into metadata, sensitive fields, and governance issues.

Custom Data Categorisation

Define your own business-specific data types in Tale of Data. Our platform learns and applies your classifications across all scans, improving precision over time.

Automated scan scheduling

Tale of Data simplifies scan scheduling with a user-friendly interface that lets teams define recurring scans at set intervals. Integrations with orchestration tools and an open API allow you to trigger these scans automatically from external platforms, ensuring continuous monitoring without manual intervention.

Metadata sharing & standardization

Our platform outputs metadata in a standardized, robust format that can be easily shared across your data ecosystem, including BI tools, Data Catalogs, and more. This consistency enables seamless interoperability and improves the accuracy of source mappings in downstream systems.

Advanced scan stats

Generate advanced statistical insights for each scan, including column-level uniqueness, minimum/maximum thresholds, and value distributions. This enriched metadata can be processed by Tale of Data’s internal flows or exported to external tools for deeper analysis and visualization.

Real-time anomaly alerts

Get notified instantly when data scans detect issues based on your pre-defined rules and business thresholds. These automated alerts allow you to react quickly to data quality problems before they propagate across systems.

Compliance Enforcement

Monitor entire systems to detect anomalies, drifts and quantify sensitive data. Share the information with dashboards and automated alerts.

Sensitive and GDPR-specific monitoring

Tale of Data continuously scans your datasets to detect and track sensitive data. This includes personal data categories relevant to GDPR and other privacy frameworks. Our platform monitors the evolution of this data over time and flags potential risks.

Automatic Report Generation

Export visual and quantitative scan results in PDF and Excel formats. These reports can be scheduled or triggered after each scan, helping you document progress and share insights with internal and external stakeholders.

Don't just take our word for it

"Our challenge was to have a tool that could detect and fix data quality issues across our various heterogeneous data sources."

Benoît Soleilhavoup
Data Engineer One Tech
"The tool quickly provides a comprehensive approach to a dataset from a database or a file. Exploration and formatting are much faster compared to Excel functions or an ETL. Moreover, the way data is handled allows us to focus entirely on its format, meaning, and relationships rather than the technical aspect, resulting in significant time savings."

Information and Telecommunications Systems Department
"We usually need access to at least five different applications. This ranges from retrieving a SIRET number in an ERP system to accessing customer data stored in sales teams' Office applications, or even billing, document management, and inventory management systems. This is where Tale of Data provides invaluable support. No matter the systems, Tale of Data can access the data, retrieve it, normalize it into the right format, and make it available and usable for users."
