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.

Enables comprehensive data governance with role-based access and directory integration
The UI is straightforward for technical users with organized features under different modules like data catalog and business glossary. The role-based access control and integration with the directory system allow strict governance and limited user access. The APIs are comprehensive, enabling integration with other systems even for creating virtual data catalogs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"Collibra Platform is a wonderful platform that has helped with metadata ingestion in real projects."
"Except for data quality, everything is perfect."
"The data lineage capability is valuable as it shows how different sources are connected and how data flows, which is crucial for projects like migrations. Moreover, data lineage visualization in Collibra Catalog aids our data governance initiatives."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can customize it quite a bit."
"I find the metadata feature valuable because it replaces the coding."
"The data lineage piece is very useful for us."
"Collibra Platform has positively impacted my organization in all the ways I mentioned, as the benefits and user adoption for different data stewards and data custodians were easier because it has a very nice GUI."
"Over time, OvalEdge has improved significantly."
"The UI is straightforward for technical users with organized features under different modules like data catalog and business glossary."
 

Cons

"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"Data discovery would be the major area that requires improvement across the landscape and I'd also like to see data redundancies."
"Collibra Platform could be improved regarding data quality, as the rules cannot be defined as easily as in other tools."
"The technical support could be better."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"This solution does not have an out-of-the-box connector for the cloud platform."
"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."
"If the price is a bit reduced, that would be better."
"The lack of connectivity to mainframe systems and the complexity of integration are areas needing improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Generally, it is a rather expensive solution compared to some other tools in the market, but I found it to be fair-priced for its capabilities."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"I think they have a trust issue. I did not like the way they recently went through the process. They were like, "Finish this SOW first, only then will we sign the other SOW." Or, "Finish this code." I didn't like that much."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
