My major use case is basically on glossary and business glossary. Among other features, I see a Data Lineage feature with automated Data Lineage capability. I do not use Data Lineage.
How has it helped my organization?
I am also using Snowflake. Regarding metrics to evaluate the improvement in data quality management since I implemented Collibra [Private Offer Only], I don't have any metric or benchmark that I use for evaluation.
To determine that the solution is efficient, I check the users and how many users are logging in and when they are. I recheck the usage metrics basically.
What is most valuable?
Since I have been using the solution for so many years, the biggest advantage of Collibra [Private Offer Only] is that it is quite business-friendly. A specific feature that I like is the business-friendly console, so it is very easy to navigate and search the data.
Another feature I see is intelligent workflow. This is a good one and it impacts data stewardship tasks within my team. It helps me to basically tag who is responsible for cleansing the data and all, who are going to fix the issues.
Regarding the policy management feature, it does address data privacy regulations. This is a good one and it helps me to basically make sure that I am able to enforce these policies and check them.
In terms of integration capability with other data systems, I don't use much of the integration one. I only use it to integrate with my Snowflake platform.
