Provides comprehensive features and benefits while allowing room for improvements
I am satisfied with the Collibra technical support team. If I ever contacted them, I might have had some issue or question for them. If I had to rate them, I would definitely use a scale from one to ten to express my thoughts effectively. I would give a 10 for the support team.

It helps us by reporting on and auditing leaks and breaches
One important feature is data security, which both end users and the organization seek. Microsoft Purview offers data protection across a multi-cloud and multi-platform environment. It's critical that Purview connects to iOS, Mac, and Android. We could only secure some of our data if it only covered Windows. It provides a comprehensive view of the entire ecosystem's threats and compliance in real time. It's very easy to use. Purview's compliance features are crucial. We have to match some cases in other countries to our own to comply with the policies, procedures, and regulatory frameworks here.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data quality functionality provides cutting-edge, next-level insights when compared to other tools such as Alation and Microsoft Purview."
"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Collibra Data Intelligence Platform a 10."
"My favorite features are eDiscovery and insider risk management, because these are the major threats to an organization that can't be easily traced."
"Their data labeling or data classification is particularly valuable because we want to categorize all of our data into confidential, public, or internal."
"MIP also provides strong information rights management settings, such as the ability to specify who has access to content and at what time."
"I really like the entire system for auto-labeling content. It's a very refined system. I use the Keyword Query Language to define refined string-based metadata, and then I can really go deep into the specific data with the specific properties labeled in such and such a way."
"The cataloging tool is definitely the most valuable... It tells you about all the data you have in your tables, which helps people understand our data. We now know what data we have."
"The e-discovery search is useful."
"The audit log has been a lifesaver for a lot of reasons. Historically, when using SaaS products, there were always questions about how the audit was going and whether we were sufficient out of the box. Purview has many capabilities available through centralized reporting that provide a view of a specific segment."
"Purview helps mitigate risk and allows us to govern the information being shared among apps and devices."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvements, I would highlight a few points that could be enhanced in the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform."
"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."
"The custom data classification for the African region needs to be improved."
"The Microsoft Purview data connector platform, which supports ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources, can be somewhat complex."
"The support could be better, particularly with consulting."
"Overcoming certain control issues would significantly enhance our overall satisfaction."
"Although you can explore the data, that creates a great interest in data lineage or the data flow. How does it go from a source to a platform to a Power BI report, for example? It is possible, to some extent, to see that with Purview, but the lineage feature requires some manual work on the development side or more work from Microsoft to improve on it."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to Purview's data connector platform in supporting ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources."
"Privacy features should be integrated into the core product rather than offered as optional add-ons, as privacy is not a luxury but a fundamental requirement."
"One of the challenges is that Microsoft changes things so quickly that sometimes you're just playing catch-up, and sometimes these changes aren't communicated effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Currently, the licensing differs for the governance side compared to the risk and compliance side."
"Purview is included in our Microsoft E5 licensing."
"Microsoft Purview has a pay-per-use pricing model, so it's one of the most cost-effective tools, as your cost will be based on your usage. It's a pricing model that Microsoft has nailed down, making it great whether you're a small organization or a multinational, giant organization."
"While Purview's standard pricing might not be accessible to most small businesses, we were fortunate to benefit from the educational pricing which made it a financially viable option for our needs."
"The pricing is reasonable because it's part of the 365 E3 or E5 license you buy."
"The pricing is decent. It is neither too low nor too high. Given its capabilities, the pricing is justified."
"The pricing depends on the client's requirements and the number of applications."
"There is some competition out there, but the other solutions are quite expensive. They are enterprise tools that are a bit more mature but the license costs $100,000 for some of them. Purview is pay-per-use and a lot of companies are interested in that."
