Collibra Is Great… But…
What do you like best about the product?
Business Term, Metrics and Reporting Catalog. We can now house this info in one platform vs our previous way of keeping data in Excel, Sharepoint slides, multiple areas. Our business users are pleased with the fact that they can now have one place to search for reports vs asking other business users - was very time consuming.
What do you dislike about the product?
The technical lineage views and diagram views are very confusing for users. It’s hard to view the end to end because of how many nodes there may be.
Confusing for users to understand business lineage vs technical lineage.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business units were struggling to find data and information. Collibra has helped by decreasing time between DG and business answering these questions since catalog is now available.
Developers would use metrics incorrectly because of different calculations but now have information available in Collibra on how and when to use metrics.
Users had to spend so much time searching for reports but can now search in catalog.
Lineage is helpful for developers when trying to understand source of information

Great overall data cataloging tool
What do you like best about the product?
The search capability. It is so nice having the capability of global search and being able to find exactly what I’m looking for. It saves so much time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data classification is not as sophisticated as I was led to believe. It appears to be column name and regex based. I thought it was more sophisticated and used AI to identify patterns, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use it to organize and classify all of our customer PII in support of our State Privacy (such as CCPA) programs.
Very intuitive product
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive and easy to be configured
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some missing but important functionalities without any reason
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data documentation and lineage
Highly customisable. Good ingestion of metadata
What do you like best about the product?
Highly configurable tool. Create our own asset typesz their attributes and relationships.
The Edge ingest process is robust, and a quick way to bring in physical metadata from database and Bl platforms.

Collibra in Practice: Governing Data at Scale
What do you like best about the product?
Centralized data governance: everything is consolidated in one place, which makes search, documentation, and traceability much easier.
Business glossary: extremely useful to align technical and business teams around a common language.
Customizable workflows: practical for managing validation steps and governance processes.
Integration with other tools (ETL, BI, technical catalogs, etc.): helps build a real ecosystem around data.
Customizable Metamodal: relationships between objects (datasets, reports, rules, policies, etc.): provides good visibility into the data value chain

What do you dislike about the product?
Apparent complexity in onboarding: significant improvements have been made with the new interface (the previous one was clearly outdated)
Configuration: extremely powerful, but can quickly become technical and somewhat rigid without expertise.

I see Collibra as the enterprise-wide mega data catalog that brings together all glossaries and dictionaries, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities, and full integration of the data quality layer.
DQ Lead from an international corporation reviewing the Collibra DQ Rapid Start Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Scalability. Previously my organisation used stored procedures automatically triggered on a pipeline to analyse the DQ of data entering the data lake. This meant for every new rule we need to write a new stored procedure each time. Now I can create jobs with multiple rules (and use template rules) which is far quicker than before.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is quite buggy. I am not an infra expert but it seems every 2-4 weeks I have to engage premium support and my infra department to figure out why jobs are not running. Additionally I find when new releases happen there are often times bug fixed but also bug introduced, especially the most recent 2025.02 release.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The DQ problem at my organisation was that we had no central system to use for DQ. There was no central process and all DQ activity was essentially reactive and ad hoc. However, now with Collibra this is not the case. We can proactively monitor DQ, have a central system where the datasets, rules and results are all in one place, I can provide access to different jobs and rules to different people.
The benefit to me is ease of use. As I mentioned we use to use stored procedures which required new stored procs being written for every new rule we wanted. Now I can do all of the above in one system which is scalable.

Not just a governance tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is highly customisable and easy to implement. The support team is great
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of it's high customisation level we, as a company had to restrain ourself on what to use out of the box and what to build ourself
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It centralize information that were scatered in various sources. It put faces on technology, governance and data.
Data Product creation
What do you like best about the product?
Creation of metadata repository which helps in data product creation which can be made ahoppable by using dataops methodology.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times you have to use custom connectors to connect to collibra as it doesn't supports direct connection with some tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creation of data products and making them ahoppable for the other users in the organisation.
Data management made efficient and effective for our team members
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate the most about Collibra is how it can enforce data governance policies. With the platform we can define and monitor our data stewardship practices, that helped us enormously in improving data quality across our organization. Also very valuable is the customizable reporting, which provides us with details on how data is being used and if compliance is occurring. This also provides us with a level of control which allows us to stay on top of our regulatory requirements and data governance is more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, Collibra’s customization of workflows can be tricky, specifically when you need to change some process according to your needs. There’s leeways, but not always enough to the level of leeways that we need to get. Furthermore, there is also an awkward amount of manual steps to do when managing large datasets, that don't move too quickly. However, these challenges have sometimes curbed our workflow, but we are getting used to taking a different approach.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Among the solutions challenged with the inconsistent data, across departments, Collibra has shined. It also enabled us to set clear data governance rules that all teams are forced to adhere to, to ensure consistency in the data. The platform also allows for tracking and enforcing compliance making audits far easier and less time consuming. This has allowed Collibra to improve our data management process overall, and make sure we're complying with regulations much better.
