User features offer accessibility but documentation and technical support require enhancement
The configuration issues I face include troubleshooting that is not very helpful. I keep struggling with that and usually have to go to the Citizen data platform and the marketplace to get the answers I am looking for. The controlled logs and documentation need improvement, particularly regarding how to access class features that they do not control, and documentation in terms of customization and UI customization. Dashboarding needs significant improvement as the widgets are not very clear or usable, and there is not much documentation around it. To make Collibra Lineage better, additional features should be added to help technical users. They have improved significantly in terms of university courses in the last five years, but aspects such as AI governance and data notebook are not being promoted adequately. Data notebook is a very good feature, but there is a mismatch in the courses' speed and how quickly they are giving people the ability to learn about it.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The beauty of the solution is that you can customize it quite a bit."
"Collibra is evolving their connectivity towards all programs across the IT landscape, with good workflows, nine dimensions of data quality, and many features, and it is based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning so that even if you don't know SQL, you can operate Collibra Data Quality."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"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."
"I would recommend Collibra Governance depending on the needs of the company."
"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."
"The automation process is very strong."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"There are certain processes that involve a lot of manual work, specifically when searching for attributes assignment. It would be better if we could do this via APIs."
"The product must be cheaper."
"The solution's search functionality can be improved"
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"If a developer implements ETL in Glue or PySpark, Collibra cannot capture lineage out of that."
"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."
"There are three environments - stage, development and production. Often things work well in the first two stages and then when you get to production, they don't work."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"There is no license. The solution is free."
