I am looking to get a handle on our GIS products and data through activities to inventory, catalog, record lineages, categorize, and handle other data governance tasks.
I know there are generic out of the box tools for data governance like Collibra and IO-Tahoe, but I'm not sure how well they would handle the "specialness" of geospatial data. I know we can do quite a bit to pull information like this from data via Python, but I'm looking for something we don't have to build ourselves if possible.
I thought this would be a good group to ask - has anyone found a solution?
You might want to check out Qonda Reports https://getqonda.com - it automatically catalogs services/items/relationships across multiple ArcGIS environments. See example screenshots below.
Voyager is another one to consider - https://www.voyagersearch.com/, very GIS centric.
Any ideas @DerekLaw @JimVanOstenbridge ?

This statement is a bit broad. Do you mean: all of your "GIS products and data" in ArcGIS? or across multiple different "GIS" systems?
For ArcGIS Enterprise deployments, there is a nice sample from Esri professional services called GIS Enterprise Reporter that might meet your needs.
Hope this helps,
Hi, did you ever get a good response to this? Below doesnt seem to satisfy the data governance question. We are looking at Collibra but I do not know their ability to interpret an Esri geodatabase.
Could you elaborate on exactly what you are trying to achieve? Are you just looking for a centralized catalog? Or looking at governance workflows?
Hi, my company is looking at data governance tools, such as Collibra, to understand data schema and relationships, etc. This tool is for many different types of data sources, including GIS. So I was wondering if there is a thrid party enterprise data governance solution that has a hook/plug-in for Esri geodatabases.
Right so you are interested in Geodatabase and not Portal/Server etc
You can probably look at Sparx EA, they support Geodatabases. I havent used it for Geodatabases in a while but it may be what you are after.
