A user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined and useful for cataloging various reports
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are the ability to PnP with all the various DBs in the background and to ensure that the Tableau is updated and any changes are visual while notifying about the integration to various business rules, data rules, data quality rules, and systems.
What needs improvement?
The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with Collibra Catalog. I am an end-user of the tool. My company is a customer of the product.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, it is a good solution. I rate the solution's scalability a seven and a half or eight out of ten.
Collibra Catalog is continuously being used in our company in as many ways as we can incorporate from various partners on the data elements and data landscaping, so we are slowly building it out.
How was the initial setup?
Though unsure, I feel that the initial setup of Collibra Catalog is pretty complex over the system.
What other advice do I have?
I think Collibra Catalog is one of the better products out there. The ability to PnP in the back-end and get all the updates is amazing in the solution. Collibra has its own rules engines and has incorporated other rules engines as well.
Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
A useful solution with a great range of features
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution to organize data. The IT team has access to the data and knows where it is stored, but when it comes to legal compliances and various regulations, the business itself does not have control over where the data is stored and how it is stored. Typically, the business wants to have control over where the data is stored, the various data classifications, and data sensitivity. That is the main reason why we use Collibra Governance.
What is most valuable?
I appreciate the range of features it has. Based on the reviews of some of the other tools we use, we find that the other tools lack in certain areas. If I had to choose a comprehensive tool across all the fields of data governance, I would opt for Collibra Governance.
The most valuable feature is the Technical Lineage. The fact that you can trace the auditability of a particular field or attribute across various systems is very useful.
What needs improvement?
There are a few things that need improvement. From a usability perspective, customers usually find some areas of the solution a bit complex. It takes a long time for the customers to get used to the UI and the interface. Another thing that the customers complain about when they opt for Collibra is the pricing. There are fees for additional features which mess with the customers' overall budgets.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Collibra Governance for about two and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a very stable solution. I would give it a nine out of ten. It works very well compared to other solutions on the market.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of the solution is good. I give it an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The response time of technical support is typically high.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Nowadays, most customers are looking into Microsoft Stack, so we use Microsoft Purview as well, although Calibra Governance is our preferred choice since it's much more stable than Purview.
Up until now, Collibra Governance has been the market leader and is always the first one to add new features. Purview tries to bring out a lot of features as fast as possible, but those features are not very stable and have a lot of bugs. Purview has the upper hand when it comes to the usability of the app system. It is easier for customers to understand the feature list while using Purview. For example, after using both solutions for a few weeks, they usually have a better grasp of Purview than Callibra Governance.
How was the initial setup?
Since it is a SaaS platform in a way, the solution is deployed on Collibra cloud. The deployment is pretty straightforward since Collibra deploys it on its own. It takes about a week to get the core of the system up and running. After, we configure it to fit the specific needs.
On a scale from one to ten, the simplicity of the setup would be an eight.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Collibra Governance's pricing is based on its features. You get what you pay for. There are other solutions that are cost-effective but lower quality. With Collibra, you get a fair-value product if you pay a bit more.
What other advice do I have?
I would not recommend using the Big Bang approach with Collibra Governance. You should understand the bigger picture of what you want to do. Start off with a few systems and four small modules. Get feedback from the business and then continuously evolve it. It is better to have the implementation spread out over a one-year period than have it crammed down within three to six months while trying to implement everything at once.
I would say that Collibra Governance is suitable for small to medium businesses.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

What do you dislike about the product?
Learning Curve: the flexibility that makes Collibra stand out can also be a double-edged sword. The initial learning curve for both users and deployment teams can be steep. Understanding how to harness the full potential of Collibra's features might require investing a significant amount of time in training and familiarization.
Potential for Confusion: With great flexibility comes the potential for confusion. The plethora of options and customizable features might overwhelm new users. It's essential for organizations to establish clear governance and training strategies to ensure users make the most of the tool without getting lost in its complexities. It is good to highlight that despite the complexity, Collibra uses really basic concepts that, once learned, speed up the implementation curve.
Deployment Challenges: Deploying Collibra across an organization can sometimes pose challenges due to its highly customizable nature. Ensuring that the tool aligns perfectly with existing processes and workflows might demand careful planning and customization, possibly adding some complexity to the deployment phase.
