Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Collibra is very good at talking to modern database systems like a normal RDBMS, a DB2, or a SQL server or an Oracle."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"I rate the technical support from Collibra as nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"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."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"Over time, OvalEdge has improved significantly."
"The UI is straightforward for technical users with organized features under different modules like data catalog and business glossary."
 

Cons

"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."
"The platform can sometimes be unstable, particularly in terms of speed and reconnection issues."
"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."
"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."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"Every time you change or publish a new questionnaire for certification, you have to basically go into the code and update the new version of the questionnaire."
"The lack of connectivity to mainframe systems and the complexity of integration are areas needing improvement."
"The lack of connectivity to mainframe systems and the complexity of integration are areas needing improvement."
