Facilitates data quality monitoring and AI governance with a complete suite of tools
When I initially started with Collibra, it was just a data cataloging platform with governance workflows around it. Now they have acquired a lot of other tools, or they have merged or acquired different platforms. It is a complete suite of tools for managing data. We can monitor data quality and take actions on the profiling results obtained by running data quality checks. Collibra helps catalog data assets, monitor the health of data assets, and take necessary actions. If we find data quality issues, it also provides a medium to capture those issues and how to remediate them. The workflows allow the creation of custom workflows based on needs. The newest addition in their tool suite is AI governance, which allows cataloging all AI models currently deployed or even in the pre-production stage. It helps document model meanings and the risks involved, thus managing all risks related to AI deployments.

Used for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks
I use Matillion ETL for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation. Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workflows allow the creation of custom workflows based on needs."
"Except for data quality, everything is perfect."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"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."
"Collibra Catalog allows us to automate metadata management, significantly saving time, effort, and finances."
"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."
"Gartner identifies Collibra Catalog as the leader, which aligns with our observations."
"Using lineage and Collibra Catalog has helped me overall improve the trust and transparency regarding data origin and transformation."
"The product has a good user interface."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
 

Cons

"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"One of the very key drawbacks is that automation for access provisioning is not available. If I discover a data set or data product in the marketplace and want to access the data, this feature doesn't exist at all."
"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."
"There is an issue with Collibra Catalog's pricing model, especially for organizations with many databases, as the initial package comes with a limited number of connectors."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"If the price is a bit reduced, that would be better."
"The improvement area could be possible if the tool provides better integration capabilities with other ecosystems, including governance tools or data cataloging tools, as it is currently an area where the solution is lacking."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"Its price depends on what you expect. You pay on a monthly basis, but there is a possibility to have special contracts depending on the installation."
"The pricing depends on what edition the customer opts for. For example, the standard edition is priced at $2.00 per credit. And you are only charged when you use it. You're not charged when it's idle."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"A rough estimation of the cost is around 20,000 dollars a month, however, this is dependent on the machine used and how Matillion ETL is used."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
