We performed a comparison between Collibra Governance and Informatica Axon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have folks in the field doing our clinical research operations, and they have the opportunity to refer to Collibra when they are examining a particular report. When they have a question about how something in that report is derived, they can pull a metric that is defined fully in Collibra. They have the opportunity to drill back into Collibra to see that."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"In terms of data governance, as I mentioned, it can be a one-stop solution for all of your data governance needs."
"Collibra's lineage is a very powerful feature. We have integrated Collibra with Azure and ADLS storage and we create lineage diagrams using the two tools."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"Collibra is very good at talking to modern database systems like a normal RDBMS, a DB2, or a SQL server or an Oracle."
"The most important feature in Collibra Governance is the ability to gather data or a collection of data into one repository. If a client creates a repository at his place, then it will get updated to the cloud automatically."
"The solution is stable."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"It is a very stable solution. I rate its stability a ten out of ten...It is a scalable solution...Informatica Axon's technical support is good."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"Where it isn't great is on older technologies that you'll typically find in finance or insurance industries, such as older types of data with VSAM or ISAM, or those types of older technologies. It just doesn't connect with them very easily."
"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."
"Sometimes, if a client needs a specific customization, we cannot do it directly. The client needs to reach out to Collibra and request the customization."
"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 workflows and the language they use needs to be improved."
"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"There are certain processes that involve a lot of manual work, specifically when searching for attributes assignment. It would be better if we could do this via APIs."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools to streamline the operation."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
