Notes
- “Observability dashboards” can mean different things: some platforms focus on data usage and lineage visibility, while others include data quality, freshness, and pipeline monitoring.
- In open-source tools, RBAC and audit logging depth may depend on the deployment edition or surrounding infrastructure.
If you want, I can also give you a comparison table with columns for RBAC, audit logs, lineage, and observability.
