Unified data governance has reduced manual effort and accelerates trusted AI model oversight
Improvement with respect to adding more connectors is one thing I feel which needs to be looked at. Right now, Collibra Platform provides many connectors and native connections, out-of-the-box connectors, but the technology landscape is overgrowing, and several new enterprise tools are coming in the market. The number of connectors can be increased. Secondly, to use Collibra Platform APIs, you need to always have a JSON Web Token or admin access, so that process can be improvised. Third, Collibra Platform can try and test how to make the work faster with more and more agents. Capturing the lineage becomes a little cumbersome in Collibra Platform when the technology landscape is a combination of multiple tools, so that is one thing which can be simplified. I have already added the integration with other tools, so that is one area which needs to be improvised and there is scope for improvement. Another thing is bringing in more agents to agentify things and making work faster.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can see the entire snapshot in one single click, which is a great feature for an organization."
"The solution's most valuable features are its scalability and how it can be integrated to any other intakes."
"Collibra Catalog has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data."
"The feature I like most in Collibra Governance is the lineage, which lets me set up technical and business lineage and associate the right people with the right assets so anybody who has to look at end-to-end instances can figure out who to contact, what to do, and where to find what they need."
"The data lineage capability is valuable as it shows how different sources are connected and how data flows, which is crucial for projects like migrations. Moreover, data lineage visualization in Collibra Catalog aids our data governance initiatives."
"It is user-friendly."
"The diagram showing the limits is absolutely magnificent."
"In terms of data governance, as I mentioned, it can be a one-stop solution for all of your data governance needs."
"This solution is seamless; from one platform, we can do just about anything."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"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."
"The Collibra interface is not very user-friendly because it has a lot of features that business users find difficult to navigate."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"What I use it for is fairly rudimentary, and I don't have any complaints about it. I haven't tried to stretch the boundaries at all, but it would be nice if there were capabilities built within the system to somehow help enforce the quality and consistency across related elements that are built in the catalog. It could have intelligent capabilities built in to help maintain the quality of the data and information, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and so on."
"The issue may be the way it's been implemented in my company but, for Collibra to be really useful, what's missing is an easy way to connect to different data sources and different types of data sources and actually ingest and profile some of that data."
"The initial setup requires more of a trial and error approach and there isn't too much documentation available to help you figure things out."
"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"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 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."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
