Enhancing data management with user-friendly features but needs better documentation
We are a customer of Collibra. Collibra Governance is applied in our data management workflows by creating all the business functions separately, maintaining the data sources of those KPIs and everything separately on those businesses Collibra Governance provides ease of use. The portal is…

An exceptionally stable and scalable product that helps businesses in the area of data integrity
I am kind of not at the forefront of anything anymore in my company. I kind of don't want to give a point of view on what needs improvement when I feel I am not adequately in a position to give it. In today's time, to be competitive, the solution's price should be lowered.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is a good community setup around the solution that can provide insights."
"The catalog feature is definitely valuable because it makes ingesting the metadata of any application quite simple. You don't have to do things manually. You can just schedule an import, and it will just refresh the metadata of whatever application you want. That's what I like. I usually work on the technical side, and other than that, I usually create integrations. I integrate Collibra with different environments or applications. I'm a developer, so I cannot vouch for the business, but for me, it is quite developer-friendly with the Java API interface and the REST API interface that they have provided. It is good for creating dashboards based on the needs of each and every role. It can be user-specific or group-specific. We usually create dashboards and give them to our business users, and they are quite happy with that."
"The solution's most valuable features are its scalability and how it can be integrated to any other intakes."
"The product's most valuable features are cataloging and classification."
"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."
"I find the metadata feature valuable because it replaces the coding."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"It is a very professional product. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The workflows and the language they use needs to be improved."
"It should have more integrations with things like CyberArk because its main purpose is GDPR implementation. We have to have more scope for things that implement more privacy. CyberArk makes sure your credentials are vaulted and your things are secure when you're creating your integrations or connecting to an application. I do believe that they are working on this feature."
"Pricing policy of the product is an area with certain shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"Occasionally we get little bugs that occur, however, this is typical."
"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."
"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 solution's data lineage is a little difficult and will not support all the source systems on the database."
"In today's time, to be competitive, the solution's price should be lowered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Collibra provides you with a license based on the subscription model that you purchase."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We purchase its annual license. There is an extra cost for additional users."
"Collibra is a bit expensive."
"It is an expensive product. In a company, you need to employ additional people to take care of the product, which can be considered as a part of the sundry expenses when it comes to the product."
