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.

Data discovery has transformed analyst autonomy and now needs better bulk editing and UI control
The first improvement I would like for data.world Enterprise is an improvement in communication with users. Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs. It would be beneficial to send out notifications to users whenever an update is coming, either via email or in-app, so that they can prepare and expect changes. I also find that some areas of the product interface are overly complex, and interface customization needs improvement for users to choose where buttons should be and the layout they prefer. Another improvement needed is the absence of a bulk edit feature in the platform itself. For example, when searching for data and needing to do some edits, you cannot do bulk edits within data.world Enterprise. Instead, you have to export and make your changes in a Python or SQL environment, or use Excel to validate and edit before importing the dataset back for analysis. If data.world Enterprise could incorporate a data-wrangling tool on its service, allowing changes to be made directly, that would be a great improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They've really helped us do things easier, faster, and better."
"I would say customization is the most valuable, the workflow is very good and has been embedded, and it also has a great user interface."
"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."
"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"It shows how the data was transformed on the way and how the solutions were derived, and any stakeholder in the company can see a very detailed visualization of the path of the data from the row to the report or the dataset to which machine learning was applied, for example."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"It enables a linear view of the data assets across different levels, providing a comprehensive understanding."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"Previously, it would take up to three weeks to onboard a new analyst, but now within five working days, we can complete the onboarding process."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"I have seen many customers moving away from Collibra Lineage after using it for a couple of years because the cost-benefit analysis does not give them a favorable report."
"There are certain processes that involve a lot of manual work, specifically when searching for attributes assignment. It would be better if we could do this via APIs."
"I find that Collibra Platform could improve its performance, as it is very slow when you do uploads and when you want to dig into lineage."
"The license for Collibra Governance is expensive."
"The Collibra interface is not very user-friendly because it has a lot of features that business users find difficult to navigate."
"We had issues during setup."
"When you have a huge amount of hierarchical data to manage, the solution's performance tends to decrease."
"Most times, new versions roll out without prior information to users, and even though frequent updates respond to issues, they often introduce new bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"Generally, it is a rather expensive solution compared to some other tools in the market, but I found it to be fair-priced for its capabilities."
"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."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
