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.

Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

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 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."
"Collibra Platform has impacted my organization positively; the main benefit is that we now have our best catalog organizer, and since we moved from one type of database that was mostly relational, we are now able to see other types of structures, and we can actually use spreadsheets, tables, and other types of information that could be generated from them."
"While Collibra is hands-down the best data governance collaboration platform, clients should review the different options to ingest metadata based on the targeted source systems."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable features are its scalability and how it can be integrated to any other intakes."
"I help organizations uplift their data governance using Collibra Platform, which has positively impacted our organization."
"Collibra Catalog allows us to automate metadata management, significantly saving time, effort, and finances."
"The diagram showing the limits is absolutely magnificent."
"This product has all the various components for getting data, transforming it and visually creating the dashboards without the need to integrate things and no need to check the compatibility."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, if a client needs a specific customization, we cannot do it directly. The client needs to reach out to Collibra and request the customization."
"No easy way to connect to different data sources."
"There are certain processes that involve a lot of manual work, specifically when searching for attribute assignments. It would be better if we could do this via APIs."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"I'm fairly new to the product, however, what I generally hear from my clients is that the requirement around having ways to ingest more metadata."
"Connectivity with different applications could be improved."
"The Collibra interface is not very user-friendly because it has a lot of features that business users find difficult to navigate."
"The initial setup requires more of a trial and error approach and there isn't too much documentation available to help you figure things out."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved. Although it works rather seamlessly, the workflow is too complicated sometimes."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."

"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."
