User features offer accessibility but documentation and technical support require enhancement
The configuration issues I face include troubleshooting that is not very helpful. I keep struggling with that and usually have to go to the Citizen data platform and the marketplace to get the answers I am looking for. The controlled logs and documentation need improvement, particularly regarding how to access class features that they do not control, and documentation in terms of customization and UI customization. Dashboarding needs significant improvement as the widgets are not very clear or usable, and there is not much documentation around it. To make Collibra Lineage better, additional features should be added to help technical users. They have improved significantly in terms of university courses in the last five years, but aspects such as AI governance and data notebook are not being promoted adequately. Data notebook is a very good feature, but there is a mismatch in the courses' speed and how quickly they are giving people the ability to learn about it.

Centralized metadata has empowered governed data discovery and clarified ownership for all teams
The impact is very positive, and there are many benefits for us using Data Hub because it was easier to make data governance, create centralized metadata management, improve data discoverability, and manage data in general. The areas for improvement, in my opinion, are the initial setup and configuration that can be complex without prior experience, especially in large-scale environments. User experience for non-technical users could be further simplified, particularly around advanced metadata concepts. The out-of-the-box governance workflow, for example, approvals and certification, could be more prescriptive for customers at early maturity stages. Data Hub can be improved in the initial setup and configuration that is somewhat complex, and also in operational monitoring that could benefit from more native dashboards and alerts. However, these are not blockers, but areas where additional guidance or product enhancement would further accelerate adoption.

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 are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"The most valuable feature is the discovery process for the data catalog because we get it in a visual format as a way to understand and classify it."
"The diagrams are good for data visualization."
"The data quality functionality provides cutting-edge, next-level insights when compared to other tools such as Alation and Microsoft Purview."
"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 technical support from Collibra Governance is excellent, and I rate it as ten out of ten."
"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."
"Data Hub proved to be a robust, scalable, enterprise-ready data catalog that is well-suited for AWS-based architecture and complex organizational environments."
 

Cons

"The price of Collibra Governance could improve."
"In terms of improvements, I would highlight a few points that could be enhanced in the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform."
"I would like to see a feature using the runtime dashboard."
"The technical support could be better."
"Collibra gives a lot of facilities in the cloud, but achieving those facilities on-prem becomes a big challenge"
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"The areas for improvement, in my opinion, are the initial setup and configuration that can be complex without prior experience, especially in large-scale environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"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."
