Has efficient feature for endpoint lineage, but they could provide wide range of connectors
Pros and Cons
  • "Collibra Catalog has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data."
  • "A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."

What is our primary use case?

The product’s primary use case is metadata management. It helps us capture different datasets, including images, glossaries, etc.

How has it helped my organization?

Collibra Catalog has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data. However, it takes a lot of manual effort for the same. They could introduce more features to align the process.

What needs improvement?

A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources such as MongoDB and others. It is a time-consuming process for the engineering team to set up custom connectors. Thus, they could provide a wide range of connectors to address this issue.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We encounter complexities in scaling the platform. It requires a lot of manual effort. At present, we only have 60 to 70 users in our organization. Our objective is to implement it for around 2000 users per month.

I rate the scalability a six out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I haven’t interacted directly with the technical support team. From the higher-level perspective, there have been interactions regarding our requirements, although the turnaround time for addressing the issues needs improvement.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is complicated in terms of accessibility for enterprise users. Determining the optimal number of licenses for an enterprise proved to be a complex task, adding a layer of complexity to the implementation. For governance, they should include customized workflows.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is highly priced compared to other vendors. It becomes a challenge as we have to incur additional costs for widespread connectors that are unavailable in the product. It takes a good amount of time and effort to build custom connectors as well. There could be better integration with other systems instead.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend Collibra Catalog to others and rate it a seven out of ten.
