Featured Reviews

reviewer2774796 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Compliance workflows have become organized and automation supports ongoing healthcare audits
There are always tons of rooms for improvement for Vanta. I kind of exaggerated a little bit about the policy control. I don't really love the way they handle the revision management of that feature. If I'm on V1 of the policy document and I make some changes to it, then I get rid of V1 and then I re-upload V2. It's not that it keeps a running history of each of the different revisions. A little bit of an issue with that, but workable. I don't really have any negative complaint right now that would be worthwhile expressing. It's just that there's a lot of features. The UI is not super intuitive, but now that I've worked with it for a couple of years, I know how to navigate and get around. Initially, it was a little bit of a struggle understanding how these things would all work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable features are cataloging and classification."
"The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Lineage are the multiple options for automation. Additionally, if you have a scenario where automation does not work, you have the option to manually create the lineage. The solution does not force you to always go through an automated way where you have broken lineage and you are stuck without a lineage."
"The most important feature is the ease of use."
"Workflow is very helpful and assessment are good features. I really like the structure of this solution and how it is compartmentalized."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"There is a good community setup around the solution that can provide insights."
"Vanta has positively impacted my organization by streamlining the whole HITRUST R2 assessment process."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta is its prebuilt control frameworks."
"The product has provided automated security controls for our cloud provider. It helps to automate security checks. Vanta offers a list of things that can be done to achieve ISO 27001 compliance."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta would be the time savings from the automation and the continuous compliance monitoring once set up."
"It helps us track the compliance of the components listed in our partner's directory. We can also check if the password manager, XML, and three log policies have been properly implemented on the desktop."
"They integrate into New Relic as a performance monitoring tool."
"Vanta's integrations and automated tests have streamlined our SOC 2 compliance and provided a single entry point for addressing risks and failed tests."
"After implementing those changes with Vanta, we tracked specific outcomes and metrics and improved compliance scores, which we can see in Vanta."
 

Cons

"The price of Collibra Governance could improve."
"The workflow documentation must be improved."
"Many other tools like Collibra Governance give you the option to actually see the data in the tool, which is not an option in Collibra."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"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."
"With Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, users need to create and establish connections, which requires entering connection details. This process is more time-consuming in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform compared to Purview, where everything can be done in minutes."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"The connectors are not very sophisticated. They can do, for example, Informatica and Tableau, but the connectors themselves could be improved."
"Some of the tool's automated tests do not work the way it should."
"Permissions for platform users have been an issue. We've had to give admin access to Vanta for another team member to view all items."
"The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate."
"Scalability could be improved."
"I would tell others looking into using Vanta to use it for HITRUST E1 and I1 assessments, as the R2 assessments are still a work in progress."
"There is a delay with customer support and they are unsure of the answers we need."
"There are connection problems about 50% of the time because of the automated evidence collection."
"Failed tests for device CVEs seem to be cumulative, meaning I have to clear all CVEs before the test will pass, which makes it difficult to resolve the test before the next round of CVEs are published."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"There are different levels of licenses. For example, some users can only do read-only licenses, and others have the stewardship license where they can give access to users."
"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"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."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"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."
"Vanta is expensive."
