It enables data governance with customizable workflows and effective customer support
There is an issue with Collibra Catalog's pricing model, especially for organizations with many databases, as the initial package comes with a limited number of connectors. This can lead to manual efforts to connect more databases, increasing costs. It would be beneficial if they offered more connectors as part of the initial package.

Masking sensitive test data has improved compliance and now enables safe, realistic debugging
The best features DataMasque offers that stand out to me are the flexibility to create rule sets and mask UUIDs, which have been really beneficial. Additionally, their customer service and technical support have been very helpful in getting this set up. The flexibility in creating rule sets has helped my team specifically because we have lots of dependencies on different databases and different database types. We have an RDS instance and an OpenSearch instance. Having those rule sets really allowed us to connect data between the two because the same data can be across multiple datasets. Creating these rules enabled us to not think too much about which ones need to be unique or which ones need to be the same across different tables. Whenever we run into issues or questions, we are able to talk to the DataMasque team, and they give us a reasonable technical response within a good timeframe that allows us to solve our issues pretty quickly. We have not had huge delays or blockers because of the communication between us and DataMasque. I appreciate the consistency to continue to improve the application, and there are new features coming out this year that will be tools we use. DataMasque is doing a great job of adding new features, and we will definitely be using them in the future. DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by already showing visible benefits in security and reduced risks for compliance, even though we are still in the process of setting up production and using it to the full extent. It will allow our developers to troubleshoot issues easily without the risk of viewing PHI or anything similar. We are seeing the benefits already of that, but we still need to complete the full integration and incorporate it into our workflows to see the full benefits, which we are currently in the process of. So far, it has been really good. By just masking production data, we can go into this masked database set to understand edge cases and issues as they come up from support without the developers having to look at any production data. They can go into this masked dataset and see the problem firsthand, something we would not have caught with our dev dataset because it is such a smaller amount of data, whereas production has a vast amount of data that we can look through.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable features are cataloging and classification."
"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 integration with other Collibra Lineage products is valuable in our data governance initiatives."
"We have folks in the field doing our clinical research operations, and they have the opportunity to refer to Collibra when they are examining a particular report."
"We have found that Collibra Catalog is very easy to use."

"The solution has very good online assistance."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by already showing visible benefits in security and reduced risks for compliance, even though we are still in the process of setting up production and using it to the full extent."
"Being able to generate the masking rules directly from the tool based on what it finds during the data discovery helps ensure that all sensitive fields are identified and masked."
"We can now have a staging environment very much like a production environment, which improves our testing and product quality."
"DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by absolutely allowing us to more rigorously test our products within a safe environment without leaking personally identifiable information."
 

Cons

"The breadth of available connectors for metadata ingestion need to grow quickly to support customers as they expand their data governance programs to include a diverse list of source systems from which they want to derive business value."
"Collibra gives a lot of facilities in the cloud, but achieving those facilities on-prem becomes a big challenge"
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"The domain-based approach could be more helpful for aspects such as customer 360 and product 360."
"I rate scalability a six out of ten. There is some room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"The solution's search functionality can be improved"
"The initial setup requires more of a trial and error approach and there isn't too much documentation available to help you figure things out."
"UUID generation could be improved."
"I think it would be great if the user experience was upgraded because it can be quite technical at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"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."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
