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

"The solution has very good online assistance."
"One of the best features of Collibra Lineage is that it provides an end-to-end perspective of where data is used in the enterprise."
"I would recommend Collibra Governance depending on the needs of the company."
"We have seen a return on investment, as previously it took weeks or even months to find the actual data owner, while now it takes just seconds or a few minutes, indicating a significant increase."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"Collibra Platform has had a positive impact on structure, transparency, and alignment around data in my organization."
"Implementing Collibra Governance is definitely something that all organizations having data need, especially for large enterprises where data is distributed across multiple data stacks, bringing rigor for both data management and data engineering."
"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Collibra Data Intelligence Platform a 10."
"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

"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"No easy way to connect to different data sources."
"Collibra gives a lot of facilities in the cloud, but achieving those facilities on-prem becomes a big challenge"
"The management of the speed of the tool is not that great."
"The solution's search functionality can be improved"
"The company strategy is also, honestly, infantile compared to a lot of companies."
"The breadth of available connectors for metadata ingestion need to grow quickly to support customers as they expand their data governance programs to include a diverse list of source systems from which they want to derive business value."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"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."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"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."
