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."From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"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."
"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 beauty of the solution is that you can customize it quite a bit."
"We use the solution's Data Stewardship part."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"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 solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"It is a very stable solution. I rate its stability a ten out of ten...It is a scalable solution...Informatica Axon's technical support is good."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"The product is stable."
"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 feature of auto-onboarding of the assets, enterprise assets via EDC is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"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."
"The solution's data lineage is a little difficult and will not support all the source systems on the database."
"Data discovery needs to be improved."
"The connectors are not very sophisticated. They can do, for example, Informatica and Tableau, but the connectors themselves could be improved."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
"One problem is the data lineage, especially extracting the ETL transformation from different ETL tools and identifying how the data is getting changed from one layer to different layers and how the transformation is applied. It doesn't support all the ETL tools for extracting the transformation logic. It supports some of the tools, but there are still some tools that need to be supported. There is also a small pain point in terms of integration. There is a little bit of change in their strategy from Collibra's end. Earlier, they used to offer two solutions. One was out of the box, and one was a custom-built solution for which they used to provide a dual connector. Now the focus from the Collibra side is more on using the out of the box connector. They are discouraging doing the custom integration. That leaves us with two problems. The first problem is that the out-of-the-box connecter is not yet enabled for a lot of systems, and the second problem is that the out-of-the-box connecter has certain limitations. If we want to tweak those as per our needs, it is not possible. However, the custom-built is still supported, and you can still build a custom integration by using the API, but it is not very encouraged by Collibra. Its dashboard also needs to be improved. There are options to use the HTML code to customize your dashboard, but it has a lot of limitations."
"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 stability and the integration of the solution have room for improvement."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"Right now, although they offer some templates, I would want more templates available to be imported."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"The solution should improve its integration."
