Effective for data discovery and supports multiple authentication methods, not just username and password
For data discovery, we create datasets. The most frequently used datasets are featured on the dashboard. Users can create their own if their requirements aren't met by the most frequently used datasets. We also create data requests, and owners can approve these requests, which adds a process layer to accessing particular datasets. So, it has been effective for data discovery in our company. I use different functionalities within the tool. I use Collibra Catalog for metadata management or Collibra Lineage for data governance. Once configured, data in the Catalog will be automatically updated, reducing the need for manual maintenance. So, the automation feature has positively impacted our data management tasks.

Efficient data integration and transformation with seamless cloud-native integration
In our small business unit, we currently have around four users, with two of them utilizing Matillion within our organization. Considering our growing needs, we're contemplating transitioning to an enterprise SaaS solution where we would share the same instance. Currently, each user is billed individually, but consolidating to a shared instance seems more efficient. Scalability is excellent when using the SaaS solution, easily reaching a rating of ten out of ten. Each data pipeline request is encapsulated within a Docker container and spun off, allowing for instant scalability. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of performance and scalability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Collibra Catalog has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"The data lineage capability is valuable as it shows how different sources are connected and how data flows, which is crucial for projects like migrations. Moreover, data lineage visualization in Collibra Catalog aids our data governance initiatives."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams."
"The product has a good user interface."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"A rough estimation of the cost is around 20,000 dollars a month, however, this is dependent on the machine used and how Matillion ETL is used."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"The solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."
