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…

Helps us maintain compliance with standards like SOC 2 and various data policies, but the customer support needs improvement
It helps us track the compliance of the components listed in our partner's directory. We can also check if the password manager, XML, and three log policies have been properly implemented on the desktop. We use JEM Cloud, which is a SaaS solution, and sometimes it experiences access issues. With Vanta, we can work on resolving these issues and ensuring policy compliance. Vanta also helps us maintain compliance with standards like SOC 2 and various data policies, which are essential for our documentation and communication requirements, ultimately ensuring enterprise software policy compliance. In my role, which primarily involves IT responsibilities, I often deal with various policies. There are instances where specific policies, especially those related to quality, may not be implemented correctly. This primarily occurs with mainframes and devices owned by particular users. In such cases, Vanta helps us enable these policies on the devices and assign them to the relevant users. It also highlights when certain policies, such as version 86.x, are not assigned through SAP. Vanta provides guidance on configuring and mitigating these issues. Additionally, it helps us with GitHub account provisioning and deprovisioning, as well as managing GitHub and Google Workspace Flex. We also use the 1Password password manager, which Vanta assists in overseeing.

"The most valuable feature of Vanta would be the time savings from the automation and the continuous compliance monitoring once set up."
"It helps us track the compliance of the components listed in our partner's directory. We can also check if the password manager, XML, and three log policies have been properly implemented on the desktop."

"The most valuable feature of Vanta is its prebuilt control frameworks."

Cons

"The domain-based approach could be more helpful for aspects such as customer 360 and product 360."
"The connectors are not very sophisticated. They can do, for example, Informatica and Tableau, but the connectors themselves could be improved."
"The connectors for metadata ingestion need to be improved."
"No easy way to connect to different data sources."
"There are certain processes that involve a lot of manual work, specifically when searching for attributes assignment. It would be better if we could do this via APIs."
"The technical support could be better."
"I rate scalability a six out of ten. There is some room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"The platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"Scalability could be improved."
"There is a delay with customer support and they are unsure of the answers we need."
"Some of the tool's automated tests do not work the way it should."
"Currently, Vanta's user access review module is still in development, and we've been giving them continuous feedback to help them improve that."
"They have an AI generator for the system description for SOC 2, however, the outline is a little sketchy."
"The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"I am not so much aware of price details. Initially, there was an add-on NuSoft license to use the DVC connector that NuSoft gives to create integrations, but Collibra is now phasing out of it slowly. Collibra is cutting ties with them is what we have been led to believe, and we have started developing on Spring Boot, which is open source."
"Vanta is expensive."
