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.

Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup

The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution makes data more discoverable and transparent."

"The diagrams are good for data visualization."

"The solution allowed us to quickly and efficiently implement our data governance operating model, including accountabilities, regulatory lineage, and data dictionaries. This was much faster and more efficient than manual methods or other tools like Informatica. I prefer Collibra Lineage for its self-service capabilities."

"The most valuable features of Collibra Lineage are the multiple options for automation. Additionally, if you have a scenario where automation does not work, you have the option to manually create the lineage. The solution does not force you to always go through an automated way where you have broken lineage and you are stuck without a lineage."

"We find the most valuable feature of this solution to be the lineage aspect."

"It shows how the data was transformed on the way and how the solutions were derived. This is the essence of the tool and why it is so powerful."

"The solution has very good online assistance."

"The solution’s pricing is moderate."

"Its technical support team is helpful."

"The product is stable."

"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."

Cons

"The product must be cheaper."

"Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra."

"We would like this solution to be able to connect directly to the databases, so we can pull directly from Databank without manual intervention."

"It would be better if features like the privacy module and AI-based Collibra DQ were included in one package instead of being separate and requiring additional costs. Currently, the basic package covers lineage and documentation, but the extra modules come at an extra cost."

"Collibra Lineage could improve connectively. If they can offer more out-of-the-box connectors, which come as in a package compared to you having to go and buy a lot in the marketplace for certain specific connectors."

"The workflow documentation must be improved."

"Before you can use this solution, you have to make a lot of changes to how you measure your information in your organization, the data governance and policies, and the organizational structures that use them. Many companies believe that if they purchase the licenses for the tool that they have done the job, but this is far from the case with this tool."

"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."

"The solution's UI could be better."

"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, especially for small companies."

"There are different licenses available for Collibra Lineage based on what kind of access you want. If you want, for example, a read-only license they have different ones to pick from."

"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
