Faster and more efficient than manual methods or other tools like Informatica
The main differences between Collibra Lineage and Informatica are significant, particularly for small to mid-sized organizations. First, Informatica requires a dedicated team, which incurs a huge cost, making it less suitable for smaller organizations. Second, Informatica's tools are very scattered. For instance, to create a domain, you need to use Axon, and then for lineage, you must use EDC. For profiling, Informatica Developer or Analyst is required. These different tools are not well-connected to display everything on one screen. While Informatica is trying to improve with its cloud version, not many users have adopted it yet. These are the two main areas where Informatica lags.

Data labeling gives visibility into where your confidential and critical data are
There are negatives to the compliance aspect of Purview in that you get a lot of false positives with some of the native scanning and rules in the platform. A lot of them need tweaking to get a more realistic handle on what data there is. Also, I wouldn't say that the remediation of policy violations is particularly great. It has improved, but it's not very easy to dig into things if there is a policy violation. A lot of them are false-positives. It has helped reduce the time to action on insider threats, but there are quite a lot of false positives there as well. Overall, it's a work in progress for Microsoft. I would also like to see pre-built reporting. The dashboard isn't really that intuitive. It would be good to have more intuitive dashboards that you can drill down into or even customizable dashboards.

Hi,There is not a default answer. It depends on your focus and your data source. If you are looking a data governance tool for Microsoft 365 or for Azure, Microsoft Purview should be the best because of the native integration.

These two are suites of 'tools' for metadata management. I would ask first that you list 'what' you are wanting to achieve with such tools.  Data Catalog?  Data Lineage?  Table level or Column level lineage? Data Quality detection, etc, etc. Your answers will be critical as you engage various vendors as each may say they do 'it all', but the reality is something less. Also, do you need to manage metadata across heterogeneous systems, just Azure, or others, because some tools are great if used on their 'native' platform, but not so great integrating with other platforms.You may also want to consider Quest/erwin Data Intelligence Suite. I have implemented this solution and it is one of the best. I would add that some tools tend to 'overwhelm' your users with all they can do. So be careful that whatever you bring in will not become 'shelf-ware'.
