More Collibra Catalog Pros →

"The technical support is very good.""Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use.""The performance is good.""In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc.""The scalability of SSIS is good.""We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS.""SSIS is easy to use.""The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."

Cons
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources.""Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software.""I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources.""The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."

More Collibra Catalog Cons →

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates.""SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it.""It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well.""There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed.""It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life.""We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources.""Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table.""The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."

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."
  • More Collibra Catalog Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
