"The solution makes data more discoverable and transparent."
"The diagrams are good for data visualization."
"It shows how the data was transformed on the way and how the solutions were derived. This is the essence of the tool and why it is so powerful."
"We find the most valuable feature of this solution to be the lineage aspect."
"The solution has very good online assistance."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Lineage are the multiple options for automation. Additionally, if you have a scenario where automation does not work, you have the option to manually create the lineage. The solution does not force you to always go through an automated way where you have broken lineage and you are stuck without a lineage."
"It is critical that Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments. That is the number one reason that people are adopting hybrid and best-of-the-breed approaches. Especially in banking, it is critical because people want to protect, govern, and secure their data. This is one of the first conversations that happens with security and the architecture group on the client side."
"The product has helped us save both time and money."
"I like Purview's data discovery features. It automatically scans and identifies all the fields. In the last project, the customer required us to have some of the codes we specified in this, and we had to structure the codes in a specific way. We can define the structure."
"Microsoft Purview is extremely stable."
"The availability of pre-designed policies tailored to specific geolocations and customer requirements is a valuable feature."
"The data lineage feature stands out. It tracks where the data comes from and any changes made."
"I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders."
"The best part is that I can create classifications per my requirements. I use it to classify multiple platforms like AWS, GCP, Azure, and different file sharing systems."
"The product must be cheaper."
"We would like this solution to be able to connect directly to the databases, so we can pull directly from Databank without manual intervention."
"Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra."
"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"Before you can use this solution, you have to make a lot of changes to how you measure your information in your organization, the data governance and policies, and the organizational structures that use them. Many companies believe that if they purchase the licenses for the tool that they have done the job, but this is far from the case with this tool."
"Collibra Lineage could improve connectively. If they can offer more out-of-the-box connectors, which come as in a package compared to you having to go and buy a lot in the marketplace for certain specific connectors."
"The custom data classification for the African region needs to be improved."
"Blueprints and landing zones like we have in Azure would be great to see in Purview. The solution could offer a baseline or blueprint of recommended settings for compliance regulations such as GDPR and ISO, which could be applied with a simple switch in the options."
"The overall cost of deploying this solution could be better. It seems that middle and small-sized organizations are not completely happy with deploying this solution in terms of the cost. It would be good if they concentrate on the cost part."
"Non-Microsoft use cases are not very high. It's limited for now."
"One area for improvement is the detection of data types. This is really important. It has some of that functionality, but I consider it very limited. Maybe they can add some custom programming or machine learning could be particularly useful for the detection of the nature of the data."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Purview's data loss prevention for macOS endpoints has some limitations, and the end-user experience of recovering from a failure is lacking."
"Frequent daily updates from Microsoft can cause interface elements like buttons to appear and disappear, making navigation unpredictable."

These two are suites of 'tools' for metadata management. I would ask first that you list 'what' you are wanting to achieve with such tools. Data Catalog? Data Lineage? Table level or Column level lineage? Data Quality detection, etc, etc.
Your answers will be critical as you engage various vendors as each may say they do 'it all', but the reality is something less. Also, do you need to manage metadata across heterogeneous systems, just Azure, or others, because some tools are great if used on their 'native' platform, but not so great integrating with other platforms.
You may also want to consider Quest/erwin Data Intelligence Suite. I have implemented this solution and it is one of the best. I would add that some tools tend to 'overwhelm' your users with all they can do. So be careful that whatever you bring in will not become 'shelf-ware'.
