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 diagram showing the limits is absolutely magnificent."
"The customization and the dashboards are pretty good."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can customize it quite a bit."
"This solution is user friendly and offers multiple functionalities. It operates like a kind of a repository that allows you to find anything about a particular data set or field."
"The most valuable features of Collibra are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities."
"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 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."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"It's helpful in integration, and it can be moved around in SharePoint. So, from the SharePoint View, data integration and reporting, it help a lot in that way."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"Able to customize data search and data sharing."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"No easy way to connect to different data sources."
"The licensing is one area that could get improved."
"Collibra is not very user-friendly in terms of lineage generation. The lineage generation process is quite tough, and it takes lots of time to understand it. Business staff are also struggling to generate lineages and to understand them. So, it is not very user-friendly."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"There's a lot of things available in their Data Intelligence Cloud that are not available on-premise."
"What I use it for is fairly rudimentary, and I don't have any complaints about it. I haven't tried to stretch the boundaries at all, but it would be nice if there were capabilities built within the system to somehow help enforce the quality and consistency across related elements that are built in the catalog. It could have intelligent capabilities built in to help maintain the quality of the data and information, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and so on."
"The workflows and the language they use needs to be improved."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"There are some limitations with Informatica Axon when one tries to connect or integrate it with Jira."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, they need to create a rules repository. Business rules for the attributes that you have, keeping them in that central repository, and governance of them is something which Axon is lacking a bit. The Informatica Data Quality tool actually caters to that, so that's probably why they have not built that up in the Axon, but it is definitely something that can be built in to this product, as well."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"The on-prem version's functionalities may not be available on the cloud version."
