Unified data governance has reduced manual effort and accelerates trusted AI model oversight
Improvement with respect to adding more connectors is one thing I feel which needs to be looked at. Right now, Collibra Platform provides many connectors and native connections, out-of-the-box connectors, but the technology landscape is overgrowing, and several new enterprise tools are coming in the market. The number of connectors can be increased. Secondly, to use Collibra Platform APIs, you need to always have a JSON Web Token or admin access, so that process can be improvised. Third, Collibra Platform can try and test how to make the work faster with more and more agents. 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. I have already added the integration with other tools, so that is one area which needs to be improvised and there is scope for improvement. Another thing is bringing in more agents to agentify things and making work faster.

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

"I help organizations uplift their data governance using Collibra Platform, which has positively impacted our organization."
"The data lineage piece is very useful for us."
"The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"We use the solution's Data Stewardship part."
"Essentially, it has provided us with more trust and transparency — this is the real benefit that we've got out of Collibra."
"I like the lineage feature the most because I don't think there's any other tool that actually depicts the data flow from multiple sources and the connectivities between every data element inside those sources."
"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. 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."
"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

"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"When we are doing discovery for unstructured data sources, I would suggest a quality report of the data that would indicate what was unable to process."
"A few areas where I think Collibra Platform can improve include user experience; Collibra Platform is very powerful, but for new or occasional users, it can feel complex."
"Data discovery needs to be improved."
"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."
"The on-premise features are undeniably robust, but having equally powerful capabilities in the cloud would be a significant enhancement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"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 would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"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."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
