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.

Balancing robust scalability with cloud features enhancements for streamlined operation
We're implementing this solution to assist our customer service in gaining a more comprehensive view of their environment. They currently manage over two hundred applications but lack a clear understanding of which ones are critical, especially concerning compliance in the insurance industry. By implementing it, we aim to alleviate the burden, identify redundant processes, and streamline their operations. It's about addressing these specific needs and optimizing their workflow. We're focusing on aligning the features with their requirements, and they are making significant progress on this journey, helping each of their companies move towards a centralized and efficient approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"While Collibra is hands-down the best data governance collaboration platform, clients should review the different options to ingest metadata based on the targeted source systems."
"The data quality module has improved significantly, and the data lineage feature is beneficial for understanding where data is coming from and identifying data duplications."
"Collibra Governance comes with a lot of features, and we have used it in one of our projects for metadata management and data lineage."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"It's not a complicated product."
"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."
"My experience with Collibra has been amazing."
"It has an intuitive data quality engine that allows you to modify data, and apply rules to standardize it, and it's an excellent initial stage."
 

Cons

"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"Scalability also needs improvement in the solution."
"Since we do have a lot of older legacy systems, things that aren't greenfield, if you will, it adds a lot more overhead than what we were originally led to believe when we originally purchased the product."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"If the price is a bit reduced, that would be better."
"Regarding the accuracy and reliability of output for Collibra Platform's AI capabilities, there is room for improvement by expanding the number of use cases."
"It should have more integrations with things like CyberArk because its main purpose is GDPR implementation."
"The on-premise features are undeniably robust, but having equally powerful capabilities in the cloud would be a significant enhancement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"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."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
