Data Governance System Specialist at a energy/utilities company with 5,001-10,000 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.

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

"Using lineage and Collibra Catalog has helped me overall improve the trust and transparency regarding data origin and transformation."
"It shows how the data was transformed on the way and how the solutions were derived. This is the essence of the tool and why it is so powerful."
"The feature I like most in Collibra Governance is the lineage. It lets me do lineage that you can set up, for example, technical lineage and business lineage. The solution lets me associate the right people with the right assets, so anybody who has to look at end-to-end instances can use Collibra Governance and figure it out, in terms of who to contact, what to do, and where to find what you need."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can customize it quite a bit."
"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Collibra Data Intelligence Platform a 10."
"Workflows is the most valuable feature of Collibra because we will typically use an interface for it and we can customize it as per our needs."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"Pricing policy of the product is an area with certain shortcomings that needs improvement."
"From a usability perspective, customers usually find some areas of the solution a bit complex. It takes a long time for the customers to get used to the UI and the interface."
"Data discovery needs to be improved."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"Collibra Lineage could improve connectively. If they can offer more out-of-the-box connectors, which come as in a package compared to you having to go and buy a lot in the marketplace for certain specific connectors."
"I'm fairly new to the product, however, what I generally hear from my clients is that the requirement around having ways to ingest more metadata."
"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"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."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
