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.

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."
"We achieved 30% of time saved, and the platform is easy to use."
"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."
"Collibra Platform has positively impacted my organization by removing silos in AI governance, as prior to introducing Collibra Platform's workflow, processes were messy and done in silos; after introducing Collibra Platform, the process is thorough and significantly reduces my organization's risk."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"Through the business glossary, the data discovery time, such as the data search time gets reduced by almost 50%."
"Collibra Governance comes with a lot of features, and we have used it in one of our projects for metadata management and data lineage."
"I like Collibra's flexibility. I like to be able to modify things for our own use. For example, we've chosen to use Collibra also as a knowledge management tool, even though it is not designed to be a knowledge management tool. That's the beauty of it. It can serve as a knowledge management tool by creating some custom assets specifically for knowledge management."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
 

Cons

"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra."
"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"There is room for improvement in the Collibra Data Catalog regarding data classification and categorization. It struggles to catalog all categories of data, particularly sensitive data on-prem, which GCP Data Catalog handles better."
"The technical support is very poor."
"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."
"The license for Collibra Governance is expensive."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"The breadth of available connectors for metadata ingestion need to grow quickly to support customers as they expand their data governance programs to include a diverse list of source systems from which they want to derive business value."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"There are different licenses available for Collibra Lineage based on what kind of access you want. If you want, for example, a read-only license they have different ones to pick from."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
