Improvement with respect to adding more connectors is one thing I feel which needs to be looked at. Right now, Collibra Platform provides many connectors and native connections, out-of-the-box connectors, but the technology landscape is overgrowing, and several new enterprise tools are coming in the market. The number of connectors can be increased. Secondly, to use Collibra Platform APIs, you need to always have a JSON Web Token or admin access, so that process can be improvised. Third, Collibra Platform can try and test how to make the work faster with more and more agents. Capturing the lineage becomes a little cumbersome in Collibra Platform when the technology landscape is a combination of multiple tools, so that is one thing which can be simplified. I have already added the integration with other tools, so that is one area which needs to be improvised and there is scope for improvement. Another thing is bringing in more agents to agentify things and making work faster.

Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found that Collibra Catalog is very easy to use."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"While Collibra is hands-down the best data governance collaboration platform, clients should review the different options to ingest metadata based on the targeted source systems."
"Collibra Governance helps us set the business rules and define critical data elements."
"Collibra Platform has positively impacted my organization by removing silos in AI governance, as prior to introducing Collibra Platform's workflow, processes were messy and done in silos; after introducing Collibra Platform, the process is thorough and significantly reduces my organization's risk."
"We determined what our strategic platform was going to be in terms of a data catalog; IGC just quite frankly wasn't anywhere in the realm of what Collibra could offer in comparison."
"The most important feature in Collibra Governance is the ability to gather data or a collection of data into one repository."
"The product is stable."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
 

Cons

"Data discovery needs to be improved."
"Collibra Platform's platform needs improvement in certain areas such as workflows designed for administration that send excessive notifications, and sometimes it is unclear how many times a workflow instance was triggered."
"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."
"The connectors for metadata ingestion need to be improved."
"I have seen many customers moving away from Collibra Lineage after using it for a couple of years because the cost-benefit analysis does not give them a favorable report."
"This solution does not have an out-of-the-box connector for the cloud platform."
"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"Collibra gives a lot of facilities in the cloud, but achieving those facilities on-prem becomes a big challenge"
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"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."
"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 offers a per-user licensing model."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
