Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."The automation process is very strong."
"Collibra Governance comes with a lot of features, and we have used it in one of our projects for metadata management and data lineage."
"The most valuable features of Collibra are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities."
"We use the solution's Data Stewardship part."
"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."
"I like the lineage feature the most because I don't think there's any other tool that actually depicts the data flow from multiple sources and the connectivities between every data element inside those sources."
"The most valuable feature is the discovery process for the data catalog because we get it in a visual format as a way to understand and classify it."
"Workflow is very helpful and assessment are good features. I really like the structure of this solution and how it is compartmentalized."
"The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"On the Varonis side, technical support is phenomenal. Their ability to explain is very good, and they seem to be very knowledgeable. When I get an alert that doesn't quite make sense, they dive in there and kind of take me through it. That's very useful and very good. There are some false alerts, but it is better to have a false alert than no alert at all."
"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"Occasionally we get little bugs that occur, however, this is typical."
"When we are doing discovery for unstructured data sources, I would suggest a quality report of the data that would indicate what was unable to process."
"There are certain processes that involve a lot of manual work, specifically when searching for attributes assignment. It would be better if we could do this via APIs."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"The interface is not very user-friendly and can be difficult to navigate."
"The technical support could be better."
"The licensing is one area that could get improved."
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
"It is significantly complex."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
"We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
