Saikat Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an end-to-end perspective of data usage and assists in identifying sensitive data across the enterprise
I use the Collibra Lineage visualization features. The solution helps me understand data flows effectively. Collibra Lineage impacts my data analysis by helping to identify where data is used, making it significantly useful. The solution facilitates compliance by defining where sensitive data is…
MAHESHKUMAR7 - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers multi-factor authentication and application support side of PingFederate but application only supports specific protocols
A lot of teams work with technical support, but I work with it for user issues only. You might need support with things like application swaps, application names, and application URLs. I didn't know where to find those in Ping Identity, so I contacted technical support for those issues. The support team is very clever and active. They provide end-to-end support once an issue is created. I have worked with most of the support team. I also work with the support team because I work with the operations team. I provide 24/7 support to production and non-production environments. I coordinate with application and network teams to troubleshoot critical tickets and issues related to Ping Identity solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Collibra Lineage are the multiple options for automation. Additionally, if you have a scenario where automation does not work, you have the option to manually create the lineage. The solution does not force you to always go through an automated way where you have broken lineage and you are stuck without a lineage."
"The diagrams are good for data visualization."
"The main benefits that Collibra Lineage provides include measurable advantages."
"The integration with other Collibra Lineage products is valuable in our data governance initiatives."
"The solution makes data more discoverable and transparent."
"The solution has very good online assistance."
"The solution allowed us to quickly and efficiently implement our data governance operating model, including accountabilities, regulatory lineage, and data dictionaries. This was much faster and more efficient than manual methods or other tools like Informatica. I prefer Collibra Lineage for its self-service capabilities."
"It shows how the data was transformed on the way and how the solutions were derived. This is the essence of the tool and why it is so powerful."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a very stable solution."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"I like PingFederate."
"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Collibra Lineage could improve connectively. If they can offer more out-of-the-box connectors, which come as in a package compared to you having to go and buy a lot in the marketplace for certain specific connectors."
"I experience occasional downtime, bugs, and some glitches."
"It would be better if features like the privacy module and AI-based Collibra DQ were included in one package instead of being separate and requiring additional costs. Currently, the basic package covers lineage and documentation, but the extra modules come at an extra cost."
"The product must be cheaper."
"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."
"Before you can use this solution, you have to make a lot of changes to how you measure your information in your organization, the data governance and policies, and the organizational structures that use them. Many companies believe that if they purchase the licenses for the tool that they have done the job, but this is far from the case with this tool."
"If a developer implements ETL in Glue or PySpark, Collibra cannot capture lineage out of that."
"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The product is not customizable."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different licenses available for Collibra Lineage based on what kind of access you want. If you want, for example, a read-only license they have different ones to pick from."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The product is costly."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
