Data governance has transformed business glossaries and now drives AI-ready insights
I think it's a great platform. Searching can be made a little better. The data marketplace which it provides is also great, but sometimes when we are searching an element and we know we are not sure if we can find it or if we have missed it. Listing data domains in one place for quick visibility will be an add-on. I am not a hardcore coder. For a coder to create workflows and automate the process, I needed to learn Groovy script and create some workflows. In the automation part, I think it can also introduce a low-code, no-code platform where we can connect different connectors and we can quickly create some automated workflows, if at basic level only, because the next big thing is automation and AI. Low-code, no-code platforms are being used by everyone. I think that will be useful. When I look for a data domain, I'm not able to find it very quickly. For a business owner to know data domains and search data domains, it could be made a little easier. Also, the automation part needs improvement. We are only able to enter the data manually or connect to a data source, but now we want to create some workflows as well. That's why I've chosen a rating of eight. Otherwise, it's really great.

Data discovery has transformed analyst autonomy and now needs better bulk editing and UI control
The first improvement I would like for data.world Enterprise is an improvement in communication with users. Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs. It would be beneficial to send out notifications to users whenever an update is coming, either via email or in-app, so that they can prepare and expect changes. I also find that some areas of the product interface are overly complex, and interface customization needs improvement for users to choose where buttons should be and the layout they prefer. Another improvement needed is the absence of a bulk edit feature in the platform itself. For example, when searching for data and needing to do some edits, you cannot do bulk edits within data.world Enterprise. Instead, you have to export and make your changes in a Python or SQL environment, or use Excel to validate and edit before importing the dataset back for analysis. If data.world Enterprise could incorporate a data-wrangling tool on its service, allowing changes to be made directly, that would be a great improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We achieved 30% of time saved, and the platform is easy to use."
"The main benefits that Collibra Lineage provides include measurable advantages."
"Collibra Platform helps us achieve faster decision-making, improve data trust and accuracy, and reduce conflicting reports."
"I find the rule modification and the replication of the rules in Collibra happens very quickly."
"The catalog feature is definitely valuable because it makes ingesting the metadata of any application quite simple."
"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."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"The catalog feature is definitely valuable because it makes ingesting the metadata of any application quite simple. You don't have to do things manually. You can just schedule an import, and it will just refresh the metadata of whatever application you want. That's what I like. I usually work on the technical side, and other than that, I usually create integrations. I integrate Collibra with different environments or applications. I'm a developer, so I cannot vouch for the business, but for me, it is quite developer-friendly with the Java API interface and the REST API interface that they have provided. It is good for creating dashboards based on the needs of each and every role. It can be user-specific or group-specific. We usually create dashboards and give them to our business users, and they are quite happy with that."
"Previously, it would take up to three weeks to onboard a new analyst, but now within five working days, we can complete the onboarding process."
 

Cons

"One of the very key drawbacks is that automation for access provisioning is not available. If I discover a data set or data product in the marketplace and want to access the data, this feature doesn't exist at all."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"In the automation part, I think it can also introduce a low-code, no-code platform where we can connect different connectors and we can quickly create some automated workflows, if at basic level only, because the next big thing is automation and AI."
"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."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"This solution does not have an out-of-the-box connector for the cloud platform."
"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."
"Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"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."
"I think it is on a yearly basis, but I'm not involved with the pricing session, so I have no idea. There are several licenses for different models. You get one license per product, but a lot of features are controlled separately through different licenses. So, as and when you want to use a feature, you have to procure the license for that feature."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
