Enhancing data management with user-friendly features but needs better documentation
We are a customer of Collibra. Collibra Governance is applied in our data management workflows by creating all the business functions separately, maintaining the data sources of those KPIs and everything separately on those businesses Collibra Governance provides ease of use. The portal is…

Balancing robust scalability with cloud features enhancements for streamlined operation
We're implementing this solution to assist our customer service in gaining a more comprehensive view of their environment. They currently manage over two hundred applications but lack a clear understanding of which ones are critical, especially concerning compliance in the insurance industry. By implementing it, we aim to alleviate the burden, identify redundant processes, and streamline their operations. It's about addressing these specific needs and optimizing their workflow. We're focusing on aligning the features with their requirements, and they are making significant progress on this journey, helping each of their companies move towards a centralized and efficient approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"The feature I like most in Collibra Governance is the lineage. It lets me do lineage that you can set up, for example, technical lineage and business lineage. The solution lets me associate the right people with the right assets, so anybody who has to look at end-to-end instances can use Collibra Governance and figure it out, in terms of who to contact, what to do, and where to find what you need."
"The most important feature is the ease of use."
"It's not a complicated product."
"Workflow is very helpful and assessment are good features. I really like the structure of this solution and how it is compartmentalized."
"I find the metadata feature valuable because it replaces the coding."
"It has an intuitive data quality engine that allows you to modify data, and apply rules to standardize it, and it's an excellent initial stage."
 

Cons

"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"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."
"I'm fairly new to the product, however, what I generally hear from my clients is that the requirement around having ways to ingest more metadata."
"The price of Collibra Governance could improve."
"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"Collibra lacks the capability to read Python or R scripts, which is essential for data transformations in our pipeline ecosystems."
"Many other tools like Collibra Governance give you the option to actually see the data in the tool, which is not an option in Collibra."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"The on-premise features are undeniably robust, but having equally powerful capabilities in the cloud would be a significant enhancement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think they have a trust issue. I did not like the way they recently went through the process. They were like, "Finish this SOW first, only then will we sign the other SOW." Or, "Finish this code." I didn't like that much."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"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."
"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."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"Generally, it is a rather expensive solution compared to some other tools in the market, but I found it to be fair-priced for its capabilities."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
