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 Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the Technical Lineage. The fact that you can trace the auditability of a particular field or attribute across various systems is very useful."
"Collibra Platform provides a great user experience for the first time someone is entering Collibra Platform, as they have a few things that are already packaged for you, so you don't have to start from scratch."
"Collibra Governance reduces the time-consuming aspects of the process; you'll need only one-fifth of the team as it'll depend on two to three people, and that's really important to businesses."
"Using Collibra Governance means that we know the end to the life cycle of data across the team, which provides our data science and analytics team with sample data they can use to make decisions on what to do next."
"The solution allowed us to quickly and efficiently implement our data governance operating model, including accountabilities, regulatory lineage, and data dictionaries. This was much faster and more efficient than manual methods or other tools like Informatica. I prefer Collibra Lineage for its self-service capabilities."
"The UI is straightforward for technical users with organized features under different modules like data catalog and business glossary."
"Over time, OvalEdge has improved significantly."
 

Cons

"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"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."
"The management of the speed of the tool is not that great."
"Collibra Platform's platform needs improvement in certain areas such as workflows designed for administration that send excessive notifications, and sometimes it is unclear how many times a workflow instance was triggered."
"This platform is extremely capable, but its breadth can make it feel complex for business users."
"The UI of Collibra Platform can be improved, as can some APIs such as the import API."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"Collibra Platform could be improved as it is somewhat too flexible, allowing for so much customization that it becomes very complex without sufficient controls in place."
"The lack of connectivity to mainframe systems and the complexity of integration are areas needing improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 Governance is an expensive solution."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
