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.

Legacy backup works well with good UI and amazing support
I use it for backup and virtual machines, and the databases are on-premises and in the cloud It's a good solution. It's been in business a long time working with backup. I love it for legacy backup work, I think so. I need more options for virtualization. I know it's good for virtualization, but…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support from Collibra Governance is excellent, and I rate it as ten out of ten."
"The solution makes data more discoverable and transparent."
"I find the metadata feature valuable because it replaces the coding."
"The diagrams are good for data visualization."
"The most valuable feature is the Technical Lineage. The fact that you can trace the auditability of a particular field or attribute across various systems is very useful."
"The most important feature is the ease of use."
"The product's most valuable features are cataloging and classification."
"The ability to collaborate and approve business terms for the business glossary data dictionary is excellent."
"Data Insight is a good product to do everything. It is kind of transparent to administrators. It is also a very good solution with regards to GDPR compliance and regulations. Veritas is a well-established company, and it has a long legacy. Veritas solutions have expected stability and flexibility. It supports most of the flexible solutions in the market and has support for data protection, data monitoring, and things like that. In these ransomware times, it is a very important company with good solutions."
"The stability has been great."
"The features I find most valuable in Veritas Data Insight include its exceptional speed in classifying unstructured data and its user risk-scoring functionality."
"It's a good solution."
"Veritas Data Insight has been instrumental in managing and categorizing data across our storage repository. The tool identifies valuable business data and distinguishes it from non-essential data. This capability empowers us to separate and exclude unnecessary data from our long-term retention strategy. Its valuable feature is alert mitigation."
"I love Veritas support."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Data Insight are the ease of use, one console deployment for the administration, and backups that can be done in minutes. It is a very fast solution."
 

Cons

"There's a lot of things available in their Data Intelligence Cloud that are not available on-premise."
"The product must be cheaper."
"The UI is good if you happen to be an administrator and are familiar with the technical side of the administration. If you're a business user, the UI is not good. It is hard to learn. It is hard for those who are administering it to teach to end-users and it can take hours of training to do it. Because it is difficult and non-intuitive, business users resist using it. It is a battle to get them on board and to keep them engaged because of the UI."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"Regarding licensing, I find it is one of the more expensive options, so it is not particularly affordable."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"No easy way to connect to different data sources."
"The platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"I need more options for virtualization. I know it's good for virtualization, but another product might be easier to work with, like sending to VendCap and Restore."
"Veritas Data Insight can improve the price."
"The nature of both data processing and start processes often involves varying timeframes for retrieval, mainly dependent on the historical data being accessed. When the request involves pulling information from six months or two years ago, the process may take longer."
"Its deployment can be a little bit complex. It should be easier to set up. The ease of use of this solution can also be improved, and it could have a cleaner, up-to-date, and intuitive GUI. There are a lot of competitors out there with much nicer GUI and easier setup. It should have a better connection with the cloud sources and much more monitoring. I would like to have a single management interface for on-premises and cloud deployments so that we don't have to switch between them. Its technical support can also be a little bit better."
"Veritas Data Insight's reporting capabilities require enhancement."
"The solution is not lacking any features at this time."
"I need more options for virtualization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"The price of Veritas Data Insight could improve, it is expensive."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"For Veritas Data Insight, the usage is based on a per-terabyte model. The annual cost for this usage is approximately one million dollars. It would be roughly 50,000 dollars to provide a more accurate equivalent."
"It is my understanding that the license with one year of support is, per user, around 25 Euros."
"Licensing is based on the number of users or the usage in terabytes."
