Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I am not so much aware of price details. Initially, there was an add-on NuSoft license to use the DVC connector that NuSoft gives to create integrations, but Collibra is now phasing out of it slowly. Collibra is cutting ties with them is what we have been led to believe, and we have started developing on Spring Boot, which is open source."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
