Looking for a Microsoft Fabric Alternative?

Discover the Instant Data Fabric that delivers faster answers, greater flexibility, and real self-service data.

Promethium is the only solution that lets you query data where it lives, adds real-time context, and empowers both data teams and AI agents — without locking into Azure or centralizing everything in OneLake.

Microsoft Fabric Is Optimized For Microsoft. Not For You.

If you’re all-in on Azure, using only Power BI, and okay with moving everything into OneLake — Fabric works.
If not, it quickly becomes a bottleneck.

With Fabric you are signing up for:

OneLake Required

All data must be ingested before use

Azure-Only Architecture

Limited flexibility for hybrid or multi-cloud environments

Dashboard-Only Self-Service

Business users depend on pre-modeled dashboards (and Copilot)

Manual Context Modeling

Limited support for semantic reasoning or explainability

Months to Value

Significant setup and integration required

For most enterprises, that’s too limiting.

You need a data fabric that works with your stack, supports real self-service, and is AI-ready — without trade-offs.

The Only Data Fabric Built for Speed, Trust, and AI Scale

Access Anywhere 

Live, federated access across OneLake, ADLS, Databricks, Databricks BigQuery, Oracle, and more — no duplication or migration required.

Active Context 

Built-in semantic engine connects lineage, usage, and business meaning — ideal for AI and compliance.

Self-Service That Works 

A smart agent experience that supports natural language, APIs, and BI tools — empowering technical and business users alike.
