Data governance has transformed business glossaries and now drives AI-ready insights
I think it's a great platform. Searching can be made a little better. The data marketplace which it provides is also great, but sometimes when we are searching an element and we know we are not sure if we can find it or if we have missed it. Listing data domains in one place for quick visibility will be an add-on. I am not a hardcore coder. For a coder to create workflows and automate the process, I needed to learn Groovy script and create some workflows. In the automation part, I think it can also introduce a low-code, no-code platform where we can connect different connectors and we can quickly create some automated workflows, if at basic level only, because the next big thing is automation and AI. Low-code, no-code platforms are being used by everyone. I think that will be useful. When I look for a data domain, I'm not able to find it very quickly. For a business owner to know data domains and search data domains, it could be made a little easier. Also, the automation part needs improvement. We are only able to enter the data manually or connect to a data source, but now we want to create some workflows as well. That's why I've chosen a rating of eight. Otherwise, it's really great.

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."
"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"My experience with Collibra has been amazing."
"Using Collibra Governance means that we know the end to the life cycle of data across the team, which provides our data science and analytics team with sample data they can use to make decisions on what to do next."
"I highly recommend this tool to users who want to see the lineage of their data, including technical lineage and business lineage."
"Collibra provides a good view of where my data is, the type of data we have across the landscape, how it's getting utilized, the quality in terms of correct calibration, and whether the integrity is uniform across the landscape."
"Collibra Catalog allows us to automate metadata management, significantly saving time, effort, and finances."
"The most important feature is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"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."
"No easy way to connect to different data sources."
"The platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"The UI is good if you happen to be an administrator and are familiar with the technical side of the administration. If you're a business user, the UI is not good. It is hard to learn. It is hard for those who are administering it to teach to end-users and it can take hours of training to do it. Because it is difficult and non-intuitive, business users resist using it. It is a battle to get them on board and to keep them engaged because of the UI."
"It would be better if features like the privacy module and AI-based Collibra DQ were included in one package instead of being separate and requiring additional costs. Currently, the basic package covers lineage and documentation, but the extra modules come at an extra cost."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"We had issues during setup, so we had to bring in a third party for the initial setup and migration from IGC to Collibra Governance."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"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."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
