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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"This solution basically reduced the search time, as users no longer had to go to IT to open a ticket or to go to an external supplier to recreate some already captured information."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"The data lineage piece is very useful for us."
"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."
"Essentially, it has provided us with more trust and transparency — this is the real benefit that we've got out of Collibra."
"The customization and the dashboards are pretty good."
"The diagrams are good for data visualization."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"Collibra Platform could be improved regarding data quality, as the rules cannot be defined as easily as in other tools."
"We had issues during setup, so we had to bring in a third party for the initial setup and migration from IGC to Collibra Governance."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"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."
"Scalability also needs improvement in the solution."
"One of the very key drawbacks is that automation for access provisioning is not available. If I discover a data set or data product in the marketplace and want to access the data, this feature doesn't exist at all."
"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."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
