User features offer accessibility but documentation and technical support require enhancement
The configuration issues I face include troubleshooting that is not very helpful. I keep struggling with that and usually have to go to the Citizen data platform and the marketplace to get the answers I am looking for. The controlled logs and documentation need improvement, particularly regarding how to access class features that they do not control, and documentation in terms of customization and UI customization. Dashboarding needs significant improvement as the widgets are not very clear or usable, and there is not much documentation around it. To make Collibra Lineage better, additional features should be added to help technical users. They have improved significantly in terms of university courses in the last five years, but aspects such as AI governance and data notebook are not being promoted adequately. Data notebook is a very good feature, but there is a mismatch in the courses' speed and how quickly they are giving people the ability to learn about it.

Unified data workflows have empowered collaborative analytics and streamlined AI development
Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The catalog feature is definitely valuable because it makes ingesting the metadata of any application quite simple."
"Collibra Governance is a stable solution."
"The catalog feature is definitely valuable because it makes ingesting the metadata of any application quite simple. You don't have to do things manually. You can just schedule an import, and it will just refresh the metadata of whatever application you want. That's what I like. I usually work on the technical side, and other than that, I usually create integrations. I integrate Collibra with different environments or applications. I'm a developer, so I cannot vouch for the business, but for me, it is quite developer-friendly with the Java API interface and the REST API interface that they have provided. It is good for creating dashboards based on the needs of each and every role. It can be user-specific or group-specific. We usually create dashboards and give them to our business users, and they are quite happy with that."
"I highly recommend this tool to users who want to see the lineage of their data, including technical lineage and business lineage."
"The product's most valuable features are cataloging and classification."
"Collibra is definitely a good tool from a governance perspective."
"We achieved 30% of time saved, and the platform is easy to use."
"My experience with Collibra has been amazing."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."
"The data lineage is great."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"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."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
 

Cons

"Since we do have a lot of older legacy systems, things that aren't greenfield, if you will, it adds a lot more overhead than what we were originally led to believe when we originally purchased the product."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"With Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, users need to create and establish connections, which requires entering connection details. This process is more time-consuming in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform compared to Purview, where everything can be done in minutes."
"Pricing policy of the product is an area with certain shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."
"The workflow could be improved. Although it works rather seamlessly, the workflow is too complicated sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very 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."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"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."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
