"Powerful metadata and data governance tool that could be a little too much for some"
4/5
What do you like best about Collibra?

It's customizable and capable. They give you a good OOTB model to allow you to capture various kinds of metadata. What's not included you can add based on your business needs. Workflows allow you to set up processes that match your use cases and ways of working. The number of support materials and coaching from Collibra is also pretty good. I like that they are moving in the direction of more machine learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collibra?

It can be confusing at times. Customizability is a double-edged sword as you are constantly second-guessing yourself and wondering if your changes or additions will cause unintended problems or conflicts later. We find ourselves wishing Collibra would be more prescriptive with some parts while allowing configurations where things don't fit our business. The licensing model charges each author, which discourages use of the tool. It would be better if we could allow anyone to contribute (in more ways than simply adding comments or running workflows) to attain true adoption and get the traction we need to be successful. The tool could be friendlier to business data stewards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Collibra Data Governance Center Review as SaaS"
4/5
What do you like best about Collibra?

Collibra DGC implements a very business user centric concept with an high flexible solution and consistent user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collibra?

The SaaS solution does not support VPN tunneling into the company network or other networks, which makes easy and secure integration difficult.

The Collibra DGC is a cloud solution, but there are functional components that need to be deployed and maintained outside of the SaaS Solution with relatively high manual efforts. The monitoring and administration means maturity could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dedicated Sales & Solution Team"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Collibra?

The Collibra platform is robust and full of useful features. We've been working through the sales cycle for 8-10 months and Mike R. and Jason M. at Collibra have been extremely supportive and helpful throughout the entire process. Collibra University has a ton of value-added content too. It's also great to have various bootcamp and coaching sessions available. The Collibra Data Citizens forum has been a great place to connect with other Collibra customers and engage with the Collibra product marketing team in various ways via gamification. Flexibility with dashboards is also a great feature for targeting different personas, roles and groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collibra?

That we cannot move fast enough to realize the full benefits of Collibra! Configurations and customization can take a while to develop so it's recommended to have a solid plan and dedicated full-time staff allocated to setting up the platform. Having to use a separate workflow development application has its challenges too. I'd also like to see improvements with dashboard features and functionality. Dashboards are great to have but they are also limited in design capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good back end, front end is a little clunky"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Collibra?

Collibra is a very intelligent platform that helps give us insights into our data and provide those back to the business. The platform itself is intelligent and very functional and they have wonderful customer service. We are currently expanding our usage of Collibra to include not only the Data Governance Center, but also Collibra Catalog including lineage. This will automate our metadata collection and lineage discoverability which will help us greatly in our governance journey. We are looking forward to having the vast new amount of metatadata and profiling about our environments without having to painstakingly manually input everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collibra?

The front end is a little clunky and difficult to "sell" to our business users despite the wealth of information held within. The search capabilities are also slightly lacking in the when somebody searches for a metric that is used commonly across the company, they end up seeing everything we have. I am sure that we could create some custom search functionality and/or use what Collibra offers in a better way, but given everything else we lose the time to do that.
