Featured Reviews

reviewer2774796 - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Governance System Specialist at a energy/utilities company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Data governance has unified definitions and saves audit preparation time across the enterprise
A separate team did the setup for this tool and was involved in setting it up. When they were doing the setup, it was a significant upfront investment in terms of the configuration, modeling, and governance design because the team first had to define the domains, the assets, and the roles. That takes time, and in the insurance environment where we had many legacy systems, this increased the setup effort. It would be helpful if Collibra Platform could have industry specific starter templates that could accelerate adoption. As we ingested more and more metadata, sometimes the catalog searches became slower by a fraction of a second because there was more metadata in the tool. After inserting millions of rows into the physical data dictionaries, the catalog searches could become a little bit slower. Having some better performance optimization might help with this minor issue.
Dibyajyoti Rath - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Analyst at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Centralized access control has secured sensitive data and supports compliant self-service analytics
Immuta is very helpful, but it can be improved in a few areas. The initial setup and policy design can be complex and require a learning curve. The user interface could be more interactive, especially for non-technical users. Policy troubleshooting and debugging could be easier with better visibility into why access was allowed or denied. Performance optimization and deeper integration with more tools could make it even better. Additional improvements would strengthen Immuta further. The documentation and real-world examples would help teams onboard faster. More out-of-the-box policy templates could reduce setup time. Improved policy simulation and testing would help teams understand the impact of changes before applying them. Stronger alerting and monitoring features would help quickly identify access issues. Finally, more end-user training and simplified workflows would make it easier for business users to adopt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The diagram showing the limits is absolutely magnificent."
"In terms of data governance, as I mentioned, it can be a one-stop solution for all of your data governance needs."
"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."
"It is user-friendly."
"Workflows is the most valuable feature of Collibra because we will typically use an interface for it and we can customize it as per our needs."
"The solution makes data more discoverable and transparent."
"Collibra is very good at talking to modern database systems like a normal RDBMS, a DB2, or a SQL server or an Oracle."
"Implementing Collibra Governance is definitely something that all organizations having data need, especially for large enterprises where data is distributed across multiple data stacks, bringing rigor for both data management and data engineering."
"What I appreciate the most is its user-friendliness."
"All features available are good."
"Immuta has had a very positive impact on our organization, helping us strengthen data security by ensuring sensitive data is only accessible to the right users, simplifying compliance with clear audit trails and consistent policy enforcement, reducing manual access management to save time for data and security teams, and enabling safe self-service analytics so our team can access data faster while still meeting governance and regulatory requirements."
"The tool's most valuable feature is restriction."
"Instead of manually tagging data, Immuta’s auto-discovery capability identifies sensitive information, such as country labels, gender information, and other personal data."
 

Cons

"Before you can use this solution, you have to make a lot of changes to how you measure your information in your organization, the data governance and policies, and the organizational structures that use them. Many companies believe that if they purchase the licenses for the tool that they have done the job, but this is far from the case with this tool."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"When we are doing discovery for unstructured data sources, I would suggest a quality report of the data that would indicate what was unable to process."
"When you have a huge amount of hierarchical data to manage, the solution's performance tends to decrease."
"Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra."
"From a usability perspective, customers usually find some areas of the solution a bit complex. It takes a long time for the customers to get used to the UI and the interface."
"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"The implementation process with Immuta was quite challenging, primarily due to issues related to database handling and the syncing of user groups."
"We have had some challenges with their support when we were migrating to the cloud version. We we had some issues, and it took us several attempts to get a proper responses as part of that migration."
"Immuta is very helpful, but it can be improved in a few areas."
"Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing the monitoring capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"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 is a bit expensive."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"Immuta's pricing is expensive."
