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.

Finds security and customization features impressive, although cost concerns persist
My experience with Palantir Foundry and Azure has been good. Palantir Foundry is costly, but Azure is open, which allows for easier experimentation. Being a closed product, Palantir Foundry is difficult to practice offline unless we have an enterprise edition. However, it is very secure compared to other platforms. Palantir Foundry's best features include security, built-in features, low-code, no-code platform, and ease of use. The collaborative workspaces within Palantir Foundry contribute to team efficiency and project outcomes through seamless operation. The ease of customization is particularly notable. I have worked with the data lineage feature in Palantir Foundry, which comes by default. We simply need to tick the checkbox and make necessary configuration changes within the system itself. We do not need to procure another lineage platform as Palantir Foundry has its own built-in features for data lineage, data governance, and data security. The lineage feature helps enhance our data management practices by allowing us to understand the origin of data, track all activities happening on the data, identify users and consumers, and monitor how it flows across the system. This makes it easier to generate reports based on the lineage database. The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries. Using the AIP library within Palantir Foundry helps us develop quick resolutions for predictive models and analytics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most important feature is the ease of use."
"The most important feature in Collibra Governance is the ability to gather data or a collection of data into one repository. If a client creates a repository at his place, then it will get updated to the cloud automatically."
"This solution is user friendly and offers multiple functionalities. It operates like a kind of a repository that allows you to find anything about a particular data set or field."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"The automation process is very strong."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cataloging."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."
"Great features available in one tool."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
 

Cons

"Occasionally we get little bugs that occur, however, this is typical."
"It should have more integrations with things like CyberArk because its main purpose is GDPR implementation. We have to have more scope for things that implement more privacy. CyberArk makes sure your credentials are vaulted and your things are secure when you're creating your integrations or connecting to an application. I do believe that they are working on this feature."
"There's a lot of things available in their Data Intelligence Cloud that are not available on-premise."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"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."
"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."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
