"The diagram showing the limits is absolutely magnificent."
"The most important feature in Collibra Governance is the ability to gather data or a collection of data into one repository. If a client creates a repository at his place, then it will get updated to the cloud automatically."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"I find the metadata feature valuable because it replaces the coding."
"Collibra Governance is a stable solution."
"Workflow is very helpful and assessment are good features. I really like the structure of this solution and how it is compartmentalized."
"Collibra's lineage is a very powerful feature. We have integrated Collibra with Azure and ADLS storage and we create lineage diagrams using the two tools."
"The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"The data classification part of the solution is excellent, especially as it gives us an insight into our sensitive data within Microsoft 365."
"I really like the entire system for auto-labeling content. It's a very refined system. I use the Keyword Query Language to define refined string-based metadata, and then I can really go deep into the specific data with the specific properties labeled in such and such a way."
"Microsoft Purview's primary benefit lies in safeguarding sensitive and confidential data, thereby mitigating the risk of internal data exfiltration."
"You can set up automated dates to alert on internal data."
"I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders."
"It is designed to seamlessly connect to various data sources, which is particularly beneficial for our customers who primarily use Microsoft technologies."
"The product has helped us save both time and money."
"I think Purview does as good a job...I'll say that it is as stable as the data governance maturity that exists within an organization. It can't be more stable than that."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"The interface is not very user-friendly and can be difficult to navigate."
"The solution's data lineage is a little difficult and will not support all the source systems on the database."
"Sometimes, if a client needs a specific customization, we cannot do it directly. The client needs to reach out to Collibra and request the customization."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"I'm fairly new to the product, however, what I generally hear from my clients is that the requirement around having ways to ingest more metadata."
"The connectors are not very sophisticated. They can do, for example, Informatica and Tableau, but the connectors themselves could be improved."
"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"The product must provide better integrations with OS X and iOS."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"I would like to have complete video documentation for training."
"The current event-based retention management is very poor."
"Some of the menu headings may not be easy to understand for some people."
"Support should be improved in the form of good documentation and video lessons where a person can check things out. There is a community, but it takes a lot of time if we want to get an answer to a question."
"Two features are unsupported—custom insights and the DLP component—that would be beneficial to me as a consultant and for the customer in terms of security and monitoring. Regarding security, DLP would provide a more granular level of data masking. Custom insights would offer more detailed monitoring and alerts that can notify customers of failures or anything requiring urgent action."
"There are some limitations with regard to the lineage of data from different parts of the system."
