Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The GUI interface is nice and easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features of Collibra Governance is its scanning feature, which allows us to onboard multiple applications and their underlying databases."
"In terms of data governance, as I mentioned, it can be a one-stop solution for all of your data governance needs."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"Collibra Governance is a stable solution."
"We use the solution's Data Stewardship part."
"I would recommend Collibra Governance depending on the needs of the company."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the discovery process for the data catalog because we get it in a visual format as a way to understand and classify it."
 

Cons

"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"I would like to see a feature using the runtime dashboard."
"The solution's data lineage is a little difficult and will not support all the source systems on the database."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"Collibra lacks the capability to read Python or R scripts, which is essential for data transformations in our pipeline ecosystems."
"Every time you change or publish a new questionnaire for certification, you have to basically go into the code and update the new version of the questionnaire."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"I think they have a trust issue. I did not like the way they recently went through the process. They were like, "Finish this SOW first, only then will we sign the other SOW." Or, "Finish this code." I didn't like that much."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"I think it is on a yearly basis, but I'm not involved with the pricing session, so I have no idea. There are several licenses for different models. You get one license per product, but a lot of features are controlled separately through different licenses. So, as and when you want to use a feature, you have to procure the license for that feature."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"Generally, it is a rather expensive solution compared to some other tools in the market, but I found it to be fair-priced for its capabilities."
