Data Governance System Specialist at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Data governance has unified definitions and saves audit preparation time across the enterprise
A separate team did the setup for this tool and was involved in setting it up. When they were doing the setup, it was a significant upfront investment in terms of the configuration, modeling, and governance design because the team first had to define the domains, the assets, and the roles. That takes time, and in the insurance environment where we had many legacy systems, this increased the setup effort. It would be helpful if Collibra Platform could have industry specific starter templates that could accelerate adoption. As we ingested more and more metadata, sometimes the catalog searches became slower by a fraction of a second because there was more metadata in the tool. After inserting millions of rows into the physical data dictionaries, the catalog searches could become a little bit slower. Having some better performance optimization might help with this minor issue.

Finds security and customization features impressive, although cost concerns persist
My experience with Palantir Foundry and Azure has been good. Palantir Foundry is costly, but Azure is open, which allows for easier experimentation. Being a closed product, Palantir Foundry is difficult to practice offline unless we have an enterprise edition. However, it is very secure compared to other platforms. Palantir Foundry's best features include security, built-in features, low-code, no-code platform, and ease of use. The collaborative workspaces within Palantir Foundry contribute to team efficiency and project outcomes through seamless operation. The ease of customization is particularly notable. I have worked with the data lineage feature in Palantir Foundry, which comes by default. We simply need to tick the checkbox and make necessary configuration changes within the system itself. We do not need to procure another lineage platform as Palantir Foundry has its own built-in features for data lineage, data governance, and data security. The lineage feature helps enhance our data management practices by allowing us to understand the origin of data, track all activities happening on the data, identify users and consumers, and monitor how it flows across the system. This makes it easier to generate reports based on the lineage database. The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries. Using the AIP library within Palantir Foundry helps us develop quick resolutions for predictive models and analytics.

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."
"The integration with other Collibra Lineage products is valuable in our data governance initiatives."
"Collibra Governance allows users to scan the data in the Schema and check its quality"
"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"Collibra Catalog allows us to automate metadata management, significantly saving time, effort, and finances."
"I find the metadata feature valuable because it replaces the coding."
"We achieved 30% of time saved, and the platform is easy to use."
"The data quality functionality provides cutting-edge, next-level insights when compared to other tools such as Alation and Microsoft Purview."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The data lineage is great."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
 

Cons

"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"It should have more integrations with things like CyberArk because its main purpose is GDPR implementation. We have to have more scope for things that implement more privacy. CyberArk makes sure your credentials are vaulted and your things are secure when you're creating your integrations or connecting to an application. I do believe that they are working on this feature."
"The technical support could be better."
"I rate scalability a six out of ten. There is some room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"We had issues during setup."
"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"There are different levels of licenses. For example, some users can only do read-only licenses, and others have the stewardship license where they can give access to users."
"I think it is on a yearly basis, but I'm not involved with the pricing session, so I have no idea. There are several licenses for different models. You get one license per product, but a lot of features are controlled separately through different licenses. So, as and when you want to use a feature, you have to procure the license for that feature."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"There are different licenses available for Collibra Lineage based on what kind of access you want. If you want, for example, a read-only license they have different ones to pick from."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
