Datasets are now called Nexsets in the Nexla UI. Over past few months, Nexla's Datasets have become very powerful in a way that goes far beyond the notion of basic Datasets. This meant the time had come to flip the switch on their name in the UI. In Nexsets, features like documentation, annotations, schema, error management, and validations are now just click of a button away. We have preserved all the underlying functionality that you have come to love.
Nexla is now SOC 2 Type II certified! What does this mean in terms of our commitment to security and privacy? Check out our blog to learn more:
You can now add more information about Nexset in the Overview section. For example, you can add description, business context, where the data comes from, comments on data freshness, common applications, etc. This provides better context to data users who are trying to determine if they should use the Nexset.
Now you can use the same email address to login to multiple Nexla organizations. If you are working with multiple clients, it will make your workflow seamless.
Nexla now supports SAML based single sign-on (SSO). It already supported OpenID Connect based SSO. Organizations that want seamless identity and access management will find this particularly useful.
Nexla can now integrate with any external data catalog, for example, Alation and Collibra. Nexla populates the external data catalog with data from anywhere - files, APIs, DBs, Datawarehouses, SaaS apps. You can use the external data catalog for data discovery, while Nexla does the pipelining and data integration.
