A reliable solution that integrates well with several intakes, but it can be a bit expensive
Collibra gives a lot of facilities in the cloud, but achieving those facilities on-prem becomes a big challenge. Collibra should loosen up those areas there and try to give stakes for that. The uses can vary. They can be limited to a small amount, or they can be a huge chunk. If Collibra thinks the utilization should be controlled and monitored by them on a cloud level, making for highly scalable data, it's good for them. But when the customer needs it, Collibra will be in the minute volume, in which case they will go for the on-premise service. That's what I feel Collibra lacks because some things cannot be integrated for on-premise customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Collibra Governance's most valuable features are data lineage and stewardships."
"The most valuable feature is the discovery process for the data catalog because we get it in a visual format as a way to understand and classify it."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"It's not a complicated product."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"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."
"The automation process is very strong."
"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."
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a feature using the runtime dashboard."
"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"The solution's search functionality can be improved"
"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"The connectors for metadata ingestion need to be improved."
"Occasionally we get little bugs that occur, however, this is typical."
"What I use it for is fairly rudimentary, and I don't have any complaints about it. I haven't tried to stretch the boundaries at all, but it would be nice if there were capabilities built within the system to somehow help enforce the quality and consistency across related elements that are built in the catalog. It could have intelligent capabilities built in to help maintain the quality of the data and information, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and so on."
"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."
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think it is on a yearly basis, but I'm not involved with the pricing session, so I have no idea. There are several licenses for different models. You get one license per product, but a lot of features are controlled separately through different licenses. So, as and when you want to use a feature, you have to procure the license for that feature."
"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"I would say it's probably in line with what other vendors charge for licensing."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"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."
"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."
