We performed a comparison between Collibra Governance and Informatica Axon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The feature I like most in Collibra Governance is the lineage. It lets me do lineage that you can set up, for example, technical lineage and business lineage. The solution lets me associate the right people with the right assets, so anybody who has to look at end-to-end instances can use Collibra Governance and figure it out, in terms of who to contact, what to do, and where to find what you need."
"The end-to-end solution itself is great. The most valuable is the workload feature that Collibra offers. There is a vast amount of flexibility in terms of how much we can customize. It gives us a lot of options to implement for a lot of purposes."
"The automation process is very strong."
"It's not a complicated product."
"I like Collibra's flexibility. I like to be able to modify things for our own use. For example, we've chosen to use Collibra also as a knowledge management tool, even though it is not designed to be a knowledge management tool. That's the beauty of it. It can serve as a knowledge management tool by creating some custom assets specifically for knowledge management."
"I find the metadata feature valuable because it replaces the coding."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"The tool's most valuable feature is bulk upload. We upload files in CSV or Excel format."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"Axon has a marketplace that allows you to showcase all the assets the data owner has, so they can request access. That's one feature we use extensively. Axon also offers great visibility and intuitive searchability, allowing you to easily search data assets. You can check the lineage and see the work EDC does. EDC handles all the classification, cataloging, and lineage. It's integrated with Axon, and anyone can see that."
"The feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"The solution's data lineage is a little difficult and will not support all the source systems on the database."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"Every time you change or publish a new questionnaire for certification, you have to basically go into the code and update the new version of the questionnaire."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"It should have more integrations with things like CyberArk because its main purpose is GDPR implementation. We have to have more scope for things that implement more privacy. CyberArk makes sure your credentials are vaulted and your things are secure when you're creating your integrations or connecting to an application. I do believe that they are working on this feature."
"We had issues during setup."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"The solution should improve its integration."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"The stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
