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.

Consent and cookies modules have enhanced the integration of data protection strategies despite challenges
There should be more customization options, as many things are restricted. This customization should suit individual needs, allowing for more UI customization, especially during consent collection. Also, improvements in data discovery and classification are needed, with the use of AI-oriented data discovery and more robust PDF file scanning capabilities. The scalability could be improved, particularly in detailed customization beyond the standard offering. Stability issues, like unexpected backend actions or data loss during updates, need to be addressed.

Quotes from Members

"We achieved 30% of time saved, and the platform is easy to use."
"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."
"Workflows is the most valuable feature of Collibra because we will typically use an interface for it and we can customize it as per our needs."
"One of the best features of Collibra Lineage is that it provides an end-to-end perspective of where data is used in the enterprise."

"The product's valuable feature is its integration with other tools, such as risk management and risk assessment."
 

Cons

"Collibra Lineage could improve connectively. If they can offer more out-of-the-box connectors, which come as in a package compared to you having to go and buy a lot in the marketplace for certain specific connectors."
"The product must be cheaper."
"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."

"The subject rights and concerns functionality needs to be improved."
"The platform could benefit from more competitive AI features, more user-friendly dashboards, and better automatic recognition or advanced templates."
"Deployment is a big issue."
"The process management capability could be improved. It would be beneficial to have an authorization mechanism for users to process certain actions."
"In OneTrust DataGovernance, there is room for improvement in creating customized email notifications in plain language and enhancing text editor features for form creation."
"Stability issues, like unexpected backend actions or data loss during updates, need to be addressed."
"The process management capability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
