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.

Very Powerful, with cloud based scalability, and highly efficient for both business and technical teams
I had some difficulties, trying to use the direct link which is metadata through files that you can upload to MANTA Flow and you can just say from there where that data is going. But we just figured out that sometimes, depending on the level of the granularity that if you want to link the object, you can not. For example, if you want to link the objects just by schema, sometimes it does not work. So you need to scroll down and link each table. Sometimes the table level does not work, and you need to go deeper and go to link column to column. We figured out that this was a bug in MANTA Flow, and we talked to them and I think they were fixing it. But in our case, we just realized that if we could link the objects at the lowest level possible, it would work. I was trying to develop, right now, some kind of automation to compare the listed revision that I have in MANTA Flow with some other revision. And I would like to do it in an automatic way. I would like to have some kind of API where I could call this object and the revision that I want and the same object and another revision that I wanted to compare with. And I could not see it as some API in MANTA Flow, and we have this feature on the user interface. I think it would be very powerful because if you want to automate just warn the data owners the structures were updated by looking at the object level, and send an email to these owners to see if that change makes sense.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 automation process is very strong."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"Workflow is very helpful and assessment are good features. I really like the structure of this solution and how it is compartmentalized."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the discovery process for the data catalog because we get it in a visual format as a way to understand and classify it."
"Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams."
"The solution is stable. We have not found any fatal errors yet."
"I believe it is very powerful. And for technicians, you can see the impact analysis, you can compare versions. So you can see some revisions against some of the oldest ones. You can compare and see which pipelines were updated between them. I think it is very helpful to both sides, the technical and business teams."
 

Cons

"In Collibra Catalog, the main area that has room for improvement is the search functionality. It should be more natural language oriented instead of searching for exact names."
"It would be better if features like the privacy module and AI-based Collibra DQ were included in one package instead of being separate and requiring additional costs. Currently, the basic package covers lineage and documentation, but the extra modules come at an extra cost."
"I rate scalability a six out of ten. There is some room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"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 platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"Regarding licensing, I find it is one of the more expensive options, so it is not particularly affordable."
"The solution's data lineage is a little difficult and will not support all the source systems on the database."
"I would like to have some kind of API where I could call this object and the revision that I want and the same object and another revision that I wanted to compare with. And I could not see it as some API in MANTA Flow, and we have this feature on the user interface."
"One area of improvement for MANTA Flow is to add as many new data sources as possible. We have found that maybe they can support 100, but not 101, unfortunately."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"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."
"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."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"As a service company, we don't care about the price because the customer is paying, but the customers consider MANTA to be reasonable."
