Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The GUI interface is nice and easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cataloging."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"It helps us build a powerful workflow mechanism where there can be any stewardship, including issue management governing assets using policies, regulations, or business rules."
"The data quality module has improved significantly, and the data lineage feature is beneficial for understanding where data is coming from and identifying data duplications."
"Collibra Governance is a stable solution."
"The workflow is very good and has been embedded. It also has a great user interface."
"We use the solution's Data Stewardship part."
"The most valuable features of Collibra are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities."
 

Cons

"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"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 search functionality can be improved"
"The technical support could be better."
"The solution's data lineage is a little difficult and will not support all the source systems on the database."
"They could simplify the platform's setup and design process. It requires significant IT involvement and expertise, which can be a barrier for smaller organizations."
"Occasionally we get little bugs that occur, however, this is typical."
"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."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"It is substantial, and we do pay yearly."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Collibra Governance is expensive - I would rate its pricing as one out of five."
"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."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
