Data and Analytics Manager at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Manager at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution makes data more discoverable and transparent."
"Using lineage and Collibra Catalog has helped me overall improve the trust and transparency regarding data origin and transformation."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"The most important feature is the 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."
"The most important feature in Collibra Governance is the ability to gather data or a collection of data into one repository. If a client creates a repository at his place, then it will get updated to the cloud automatically."
"We achieved 30% of time saved, and the platform is easy to use."
"The data quality functionality provides cutting-edge, next-level insights when compared to other tools such as Alation and Microsoft Purview."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Collibra is not very user-friendly in terms of lineage generation. The lineage generation process is quite tough, and it takes lots of time to understand it. Business staff are also struggling to generate lineages and to understand them. So, it is not very user-friendly."
"We had issues during setup."
"Many other tools like Collibra Governance give you the option to actually see the data in the tool, which is not an option in Collibra."
"Occasionally we get little bugs that occur, however, this is typical."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"The technical support could be better."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"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."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"I think it is on a yearly basis, but I'm not involved with the pricing session, so I have no idea. There are several licenses for different models. You get one license per product, but a lot of features are controlled separately through different licenses. So, as and when you want to use a feature, you have to procure the license for that feature."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
