Improvement with respect to adding more connectors is one thing I feel which needs to be looked at. Right now, Collibra Platform provides many connectors and native connections, out-of-the-box connectors, but the technology landscape is overgrowing, and several new enterprise tools are coming in the market. The number of connectors can be increased. Secondly, to use Collibra Platform APIs, you need to always have a JSON Web Token or admin access, so that process can be improvised. Third, Collibra Platform can try and test how to make the work faster with more and more agents. Capturing the lineage becomes a little cumbersome in Collibra Platform when the technology landscape is a combination of multiple tools, so that is one thing which can be simplified. I have already added the integration with other tools, so that is one area which needs to be improvised and there is scope for improvement. Another thing is bringing in more agents to agentify things and making work faster.

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."
"The GUI interface is nice and easy to use."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"The catalog feature is definitely valuable because it makes ingesting the metadata of any application quite simple. You don't have to do things manually. You can just schedule an import, and it will just refresh the metadata of whatever application you want. That's what I like. I usually work on the technical side, and other than that, I usually create integrations. I integrate Collibra with different environments or applications. I'm a developer, so I cannot vouch for the business, but for me, it is quite developer-friendly with the Java API interface and the REST API interface that they have provided. It is good for creating dashboards based on the needs of each and every role. It can be user-specific or group-specific. We usually create dashboards and give them to our business users, and they are quite happy with that."
"I would recommend Collibra Governance depending on the needs of the company."
"This solution basically reduced the search time, as users no longer had to go to IT to open a ticket or to go to an external supplier to recreate some already captured information."
"The ability to collaborate and approve business terms for the business glossary data dictionary is excellent."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"The customization and the dashboards are pretty good."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
 

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."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"If the price is a bit reduced, that would be better."
"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"I rate scalability a six out of ten. There is some room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"Collibra gives a lot of facilities in the cloud, but achieving those facilities on-prem becomes a big challenge"
"In Collibra Catalog, the main area that has room for improvement is the search functionality. It should be more natural language oriented instead of searching for exact names."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"The workflows and the language they use needs to be improved."
"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."
