Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, Collibra and others in Metadata Management."Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"Collibra Catalog has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data."
"The data lineage capability is valuable as it shows how different sources are connected and how data flows, which is crucial for projects like migrations. Moreover, data lineage visualization in Collibra Catalog aids our data governance initiatives."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
