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.

Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Collibra Catalog allows us to automate metadata management, significantly saving time, effort, and finances."

"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"Except for data quality, everything is perfect."
"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 workflows allow the creation of custom workflows based on needs."
"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."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"More automation and artificial intelligence involvement are necessary. Reducing required employee involvement and enhancing ease of use are vital."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"If the price is a bit reduced, that would be better."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"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."

"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
