Data Governance System Specialist at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 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.

Enables comprehensive data governance with role-based access and directory integration
The UI is straightforward for technical users with organized features under different modules like data catalog and business glossary. The role-based access control and integration with the directory system allow strict governance and limited user access. The APIs are comprehensive, enabling integration with other systems even for creating virtual data catalogs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important feature is the ease of use."
"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."
"Collibra Governance is a stable solution."
"I find the rule modification and the replication of the rules in Collibra happens very quickly."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"We use the solution's Data Stewardship part."
"Collibra Catalog allows us to automate metadata management, significantly saving time, effort, and finances."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"The UI is straightforward for technical users with organized features under different modules like data catalog and business glossary."
"Over time, OvalEdge has improved significantly."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"Regarding licensing, I find it is one of the more expensive options, so it is not particularly affordable."
"Where it isn't great is on older technologies that you'll typically find in finance or insurance industries, such as older types of data with VSAM or ISAM, or those types of older technologies. It just doesn't connect with them very easily."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"There is room for improvement in Collibra Lineage as it could incorporate automation features which would allow it to find data lineage across a data stack independently."
"The connectors are not very sophisticated. They can do, for example, Informatica and Tableau, but the connectors themselves could be improved."
"The lack of connectivity to mainframe systems and the complexity of integration are areas needing improvement."
"The lack of connectivity to mainframe systems and the complexity of integration are areas needing improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"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 Governance is extremely expensive"
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"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."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
