Data governance has transformed business glossaries and now drives AI-ready insights
I think it's a great platform. Searching can be made a little better. The data marketplace which it provides is also great, but sometimes when we are searching an element and we know we are not sure if we can find it or if we have missed it. Listing data domains in one place for quick visibility will be an add-on. I am not a hardcore coder. For a coder to create workflows and automate the process, I needed to learn Groovy script and create some workflows. In the automation part, I think it can also introduce a low-code, no-code platform where we can connect different connectors and we can quickly create some automated workflows, if at basic level only, because the next big thing is automation and AI. Low-code, no-code platforms are being used by everyone. I think that will be useful. When I look for a data domain, I'm not able to find it very quickly. For a business owner to know data domains and search data domains, it could be made a little easier. Also, the automation part needs improvement. We are only able to enter the data manually or connect to a data source, but now we want to create some workflows as well. That's why I've chosen a rating of eight. Otherwise, it's really great.

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

"Essentially, it has provided us with more trust and transparency — this is the real benefit that we've got out of Collibra."
"Collibra provides a good view of where my data is, the type of data we have across the landscape, how it's getting utilized, the quality in terms of correct calibration, and whether the integrity is uniform across the landscape."
"The end-to-end solution itself is great. The most valuable is the workload feature that Collibra offers. There is a vast amount of flexibility in terms of how much we can customize. It gives us a lot of options to implement for a lot of purposes."
"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."
"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 most important feature is the ease of use."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can customize it quite a bit."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"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."
"The solution allowed us to handle GDPR and we made sure we were ready and had storage optimization."
"The features I find most valuable in Veritas Data Insight include its exceptional speed in classifying unstructured data and its user risk-scoring functionality."
"I love Veritas support."
"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 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."
"The stability has been great."
"It's a good solution."
 

Cons

"We had issues during setup, so we had to bring in a third party for the initial setup and migration from IGC to Collibra Governance."
"One of the very key drawbacks is that automation for access provisioning is not available. If I discover a data set or data product in the marketplace and want to access the data, this feature doesn't exist at all."
"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."
"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."
"Scalability also needs improvement in the solution."
"The license for Collibra Governance is expensive."
"<p>In terms of improvements, I would highlight a few points that could be enhanced in the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform.</p>"
"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."
"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."
"The price of Veritas Data Insight could improve, it is expensive."
"Veritas Data Insight's reporting capabilities require enhancement."
"Its deployment can be a little bit complex. It should be easier to set up."
"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."
"The solution is not lacking any features at this time."
"I need more options for virtualization."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"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 is a bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The price of Veritas Data Insight could improve, it is expensive."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Licensing is based on the number of users or the usage in terabytes."
"It is my understanding that the license with one year of support is, per user, around 25 Euros."
