It enables data governance with customizable workflows and effective customer support
There is an issue with Collibra Catalog's pricing model, especially for organizations with many databases, as the initial package comes with a limited number of connectors. This can lead to manual efforts to connect more databases, increasing costs. It would be beneficial if they offered more connectors as part of the initial package.

Consent and cookies modules have enhanced the integration of data protection strategies despite challenges
There should be more customization options, as many things are restricted. This customization should suit individual needs, allowing for more UI customization, especially during consent collection. Also, improvements in data discovery and classification are needed, with the use of AI-oriented data discovery and more robust PDF file scanning capabilities. The scalability could be improved, particularly in detailed customization beyond the standard offering. Stability issues, like unexpected backend actions or data loss during updates, need to be addressed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"Collibra is evolving their connectivity towards all programs across the IT landscape, with good workflows, nine dimensions of data quality, and many features, and it is based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning so that even if you don't know SQL, you can operate Collibra Data Quality."
"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."
"The diagrams are good for data visualization."
"The workflow is very good and has been embedded. It also has a great user interface."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"The best features of Collibra Lineage include its ability to map data flows and provide clear visualizations."
"I like the lineage feature the most because I don't think there's any other tool that actually depicts the data flow from multiple sources and the connectivities between every data element inside those sources."
"The platform enhances the collaboration between data governance teams and other business units."
"The product is easy to use, with excellent integration capabilities that, although they could be improved, are still better than other options."
"The tool gives us the ability to trace the path of an incident."
"It helps me in managing and using personal data while complying with the regulatory framework."
"This product makes it easy to manage personal data."
"The data flow analysis is especially valuable from a security perspective. It helps set a perimeter concerning security aspects."
"OneTrust allows seamless management of multiple geolocations at one time and offers workflow automation based on location-specific parameters."
"One valuable aspect of the solution is its cloud-based nature. Users can just pay the fees and get started instantly."
 

Cons

"There's a lot of things available in their Data Intelligence Cloud that are not available on-premise."
"There's still room for improvement in Collibra Governance. Right now, the solution focuses more on publishing and subscription where metadata is being consumed from all systems and processes within Collibra Governance. I'd like to see more features around external systems that let those systems start consuming or start referring things from Collibra Governance automatically, in particular, more API-based integrations, so the solution can truly work as an enterprise governance tool at the heart of the organization. There have been many cases where business stakeholders feel, "Okay. I'll be doing a manual activity because every time I have to maintain and make sure that the solution is working, for example, ensuring the reporting works, I have to go to Collibra Governance." I want this step taken out of the equation, and it has to be an automatic conversion or automatic notification that something has changed. Scalability also needs improvement in the solution. If there could be some sort of self-service where people can customize the solution a bit more, that would make Collibra Governance better. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is an enhanced search feature because it's what users want to use. You want to search for a term and get all details in one go. Right now, if you type a term in the Collibra Governance global search function, it returns a lot of results that you need to know how to filter and what to filter, so there should be automatic filters that give accurate information to somebody who does a search on the solution. I want Collibra Governance to provide a capability where you can search and get relevant information."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"The technical support is very poor."
"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."
"The company strategy is also, honestly, infantile compared to a lot of companies."
"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"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."
"Deployment is a big issue."
"The tool is an amalgam. It's a collection of loosely integrated pieces and parts that don't work well together. There is room for improvement there. My team reached out to the support team, and their experience was not satisfactory."
"The platform could benefit from more competitive AI features, more user-friendly dashboards, and better automatic recognition or advanced templates."
"To succeed in this market, OneTrust needs to invest more and check the requirements from Saudi Arabian regulations."
"The subject rights and concerns functionality needs to be improved."
"In OneTrust DataGovernance, there is room for improvement in creating customized email notifications in plain language and enhancing text editor features for form creation."
"Stability issues, like unexpected backend actions or data loss during updates, need to be addressed."
"The integration with third-party products could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I think they have a trust issue. I did not like the way they recently went through the process. They were like, "Finish this SOW first, only then will we sign the other SOW." Or, "Finish this code." I didn't like that much."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"The solution is a low-cost option."
"The product is worth every penny."
"There is a licensing fee that we pay regularly."
"The product cost was reasonable due to a discount for NGOs."
