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.

Data discovery has transformed analyst autonomy and now needs better bulk editing and UI control
The first improvement I would like for data.world Enterprise is an improvement in communication with users. Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs. It would be beneficial to send out notifications to users whenever an update is coming, either via email or in-app, so that they can prepare and expect changes. I also find that some areas of the product interface are overly complex, and interface customization needs improvement for users to choose where buttons should be and the layout they prefer. Another improvement needed is the absence of a bulk edit feature in the platform itself. For example, when searching for data and needing to do some edits, you cannot do bulk edits within data.world Enterprise. Instead, you have to export and make your changes in a Python or SQL environment, or use Excel to validate and edit before importing the dataset back for analysis. If data.world Enterprise could incorporate a data-wrangling tool on its service, allowing changes to be made directly, that would be a great improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Collibra is very good at talking to modern database systems like a normal RDBMS, a DB2, or a SQL server or an Oracle."
"The product's most valuable features are cataloging and classification."
"It's not a complicated product."
"Collibra Platform has had a positive impact on structure, transparency, and alignment around data in my organization."
"I definitely think Collibra is the gold standard in terms of combining user experience with the actual capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Collibra are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities, as they help improve the client's existing processes by allowing you to map those into workflows so the processes can be directly executed on Collibra."
"The client is pretty happy with the Collibra work so far."
"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."
"Previously, it would take up to three weeks to onboard a new analyst, but now within five working days, we can complete the onboarding process."
 

Cons

"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."
"Scalability also needs improvement in the solution."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"Many other tools like Collibra Governance give you the option to actually see the data in the tool, which is not an option in Collibra."
"The management of the speed of the tool is not that great."
"A few areas where I think Collibra Platform can improve include user experience; Collibra Platform is very powerful, but for new or occasional users, it can feel complex."
"The company strategy is also, honestly, infantile compared to a lot of companies."
"The Collibra interface is not very user-friendly because it has a lot of features that business users find difficult to navigate."
"Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
