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.

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

"Collibra Platform has positively impacted my organization by helping identify quicker when we have data quality issues and their root cause, which has made a difference in saving time, reducing errors, and improving decision-making."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"There is a good community setup around the solution that can provide insights."
"Collibra Platform is a wonderful platform that has helped with metadata ingestion in real projects."
"In terms of data governance, as I mentioned, it can be a one-stop solution for all of your data governance needs."
"Collibra Platform has impacted my organization positively because it provides comprehensive data governance functionalities for enterprises."
"<p>The technical support from Collibra Governance is excellent, and I rate it as ten out of ten.</p>"
"Collibra is very good at talking to modern database systems like a normal RDBMS, a DB2, or a SQL server or an Oracle."
"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

"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"The license for Collibra Governance is expensive."
"Collibra Platform could be improved regarding data quality, as the rules cannot be defined as easily as in other tools."
"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"Scalability also needs improvement in the solution."
"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 Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"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."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
