Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The GUI interface is nice and easy to use."
"I would recommend Collibra Governance depending on the needs of the company."
"It enables a linear view of the data assets across different levels, providing a comprehensive understanding."
"Collibra is very good at talking to modern database systems like a normal RDBMS, a DB2, or a SQL server or an Oracle."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are its scalability and how it can be integrated to any other intakes."
"In terms of data governance, as I mentioned, it can be a one-stop solution for all of your data governance needs."
 

Cons

"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"Collibra gives a lot of facilities in the cloud, but achieving those facilities on-prem becomes a big challenge"
"It should have more integrations with things like CyberArk because its main purpose is GDPR implementation. We have to have more scope for things that implement more privacy. CyberArk makes sure your credentials are vaulted and your things are secure when you're creating your integrations or connecting to an application. I do believe that they are working on this feature."
"I rate scalability a six out of ten. There is some room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"The platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"There's a lot of things available in their Data Intelligence Cloud that are not available on-premise."
"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"The domain-based approach could be more helpful for aspects such as customer 360 and product 360."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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 provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"There are different levels of licenses. For example, some users can only do read-only licenses, and others have the stewardship license where they can give access to users."
