More Collibra Catalog Pros →

"The data catalog feature is pretty good.""When you combine it with data lineage, every time you need to make a change, it allows you to do impact analysis on any changes and then connect to the end-users or data stewards so that they can be aware that a change is coming. That's one of the main benefits we use it for."

Cons
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software.""A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources.""I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources.""The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."

More Collibra Catalog Cons →

"There is room for improvement with respect to the connector and how to connect to the structured and unstructured database.""There are always ways to improve things. For example, we can use AI to be able to find out something. When we are typing something, if we don't know the exact term, Artificial Intelligence would be useful to find terms that are phonetically or syntactically similar. Instead of having to type in the exact name, they can provide those in the list. So, they can provide AI support for the search because when you have thousands and thousands of terms, it is hard to remember all the names."
