An exceptionally stable and scalable product that helps businesses in the area of data integrity

I am kind of not at the forefront of anything anymore in my company. I kind of don't want to give a point of view on what needs improvement when I feel I am not adequately in a position to give it. In today's time, to be competitive, the solution's price should be lowered.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The diagrams are good for data visualization."

"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."

"One of the best features of Collibra Lineage is that it provides an end-to-end perspective of where data is used in the enterprise."

"The main benefits that Collibra Lineage provides include measurable advantages."

More Collibra Lineage pros

"It is a very professional product. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

"Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra."

"If a developer implements ETL in Glue or PySpark, Collibra cannot capture lineage out of that."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I experience occasional downtime, bugs, and some glitches."

"There is room for improvement in Collibra Lineage as it could incorporate automation features which would allow it to find data lineage across a data stack independently."

More Collibra Lineage cons

"In today's time, to be competitive, the solution's price should be lowered."

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."

"It is an expensive product. In a company, you need to employ additional people to take care of the product, which can be considered as a part of the sundry expenses when it comes to the product."
