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.

Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Centralized metadata has empowered governed data discovery and clarified ownership for all teams
The impact is very positive, and there are many benefits for us using Data Hub because it was easier to make data governance, create centralized metadata management, improve data discoverability, and manage data in general. The areas for improvement, in my opinion, are the initial setup and configuration that can be complex without prior experience, especially in large-scale environments. User experience for non-technical users could be further simplified, particularly around advanced metadata concepts. The out-of-the-box governance workflow, for example, approvals and certification, could be more prescriptive for customers at early maturity stages. Data Hub can be improved in the initial setup and configuration that is somewhat complex, and also in operational monitoring that could benefit from more native dashboards and alerts. However, these are not blockers, but areas where additional guidance or product enhancement would further accelerate adoption.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We achieved 30% of time saved, and the platform is easy to use."
"The ability to collaborate and approve business terms for the business glossary data dictionary is excellent."
"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."
"The automation process is very strong."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"The workflows allow the creation of custom workflows based on needs."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"The most valuable feature is the Technical Lineage. The fact that you can trace the auditability of a particular field or attribute across various systems is very useful."
"Data Hub proved to be a robust, scalable, enterprise-ready data catalog that is well-suited for AWS-based architecture and complex organizational environments."
 

Cons

"The product must be cheaper."
"Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra."
"The platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"Every time you change or publish a new questionnaire for certification, you have to basically go into the code and update the new version of the questionnaire."
"In terms of improvements, I would highlight a few points that could be enhanced in the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"One of the very key drawbacks is that automation for access provisioning is not available. If I discover a data set or data product in the marketplace and want to access the data, this feature doesn't exist at all."
"No easy way to connect to different data sources."
"The areas for improvement, in my opinion, are the initial setup and configuration that can be complex without prior experience, especially in large-scale environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"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."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
