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."
"It's not a complicated product."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"I like Collibra's flexibility. I like to be able to modify things for our own use. For example, we've chosen to use Collibra also as a knowledge management tool, even though it is not designed to be a knowledge management tool. That's the beauty of it. It can serve as a knowledge management tool by creating some custom assets specifically for knowledge management."
"I like the lineage feature the most because I don't think there's any other tool that actually depicts the data flow from multiple sources and the connectivities between every data element inside those sources."
"The most important feature is the ease of use."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"Workflow is very helpful and assessment are good features. I really like the structure of this solution and how it is compartmentalized."
 

Cons

"The organization of the icons is not saved across users."
"The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements."
"There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."
"The platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"When we are doing discovery for unstructured data sources, I would suggest a quality report of the data that would indicate what was unable to process."
"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"I would like to see a feature using the runtime dashboard."
"Data discovery needs to be improved."
"From a usability perspective, customers usually find some areas of the solution a bit complex. It takes a long time for the customers to get used to the UI and the interface."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"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."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"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."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"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."
