Featured Reviews

Tejbir Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"Gartner identifies Collibra Catalog as the leader, which aligns with our observations."
"The workflows allow the creation of custom workflows based on needs."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"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."
"Using lineage and Collibra Catalog has helped me overall improve the trust and transparency regarding data origin and transformation."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"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."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity; if you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
 

Cons

"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"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."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"More automation and artificial intelligence involvement are necessary. Reducing required employee involvement and enhancing ease of use are vital."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"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."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"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."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
"Scalability in Matillion Data Productivity Cloud has some limitations. Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"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."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
