User features offer accessibility but documentation and technical support require enhancement
The configuration issues I face include troubleshooting that is not very helpful. I keep struggling with that and usually have to go to the Citizen data platform and the marketplace to get the answers I am looking for. The controlled logs and documentation need improvement, particularly regarding how to access class features that they do not control, and documentation in terms of customization and UI customization. Dashboarding needs significant improvement as the widgets are not very clear or usable, and there is not much documentation around it. To make Collibra Lineage better, additional features should be added to help technical users. They have improved significantly in terms of university courses in the last five years, but aspects such as AI governance and data notebook are not being promoted adequately. Data notebook is a very good feature, but there is a mismatch in the courses' speed and how quickly they are giving people the ability to learn about it.

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

"Collibra's lineage is a very powerful feature. We have integrated Collibra with Azure and ADLS storage and we create lineage diagrams using the two tools."
"The technical support from Collibra Governance is excellent, and I rate it as ten out of ten."
"The main benefits that Collibra Lineage provides include measurable advantages."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Lineage are the multiple options for automation. Additionally, if you have a scenario where automation does not work, you have the option to manually create the lineage. The solution does not force you to always go through an automated way where you have broken lineage and you are stuck without a lineage."
"The integration with other Collibra Lineage products is valuable in our data governance initiatives."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"Collibra Governance comes with a lot of features, and we have used it in one of our projects for metadata management and data lineage."
"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. When they have a question about how something in that report is derived, they can pull a metric that is defined fully in Collibra. They have the opportunity to drill back into Collibra to see that."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"In Collibra Catalog, the main area that has room for improvement is the search functionality. It should be more natural language oriented instead of searching for exact names."
"More automation and artificial intelligence involvement are necessary. Reducing required employee involvement and enhancing ease of use are vital."
"The solution's search functionality can be improved"
"What I use it for is fairly rudimentary, and I don't have any complaints about it. I haven't tried to stretch the boundaries at all, but it would be nice if there were capabilities built within the system to somehow help enforce the quality and consistency across related elements that are built in the catalog. It could have intelligent capabilities built in to help maintain the quality of the data and information, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and so on."
"With Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, users need to create and establish connections, which requires entering connection details. This process is more time-consuming in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform compared to Purview, where everything can be done in minutes."
"The licensing is one area that could get improved."
"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"
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
