Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, Collibra and others in Metadata Management."Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"The data lineage capability is valuable as it shows how different sources are connected and how data flows, which is crucial for projects like migrations. Moreover, data lineage visualization in Collibra Catalog aids our data governance initiatives."
"Collibra Catalog has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data."
"Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."
"The most valuable features are data lineage and the concept of a semantic layer."
"It is easy to virtualize data using the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the performance. Denodo is very useful, especially in this huge pharma environment. I've found that older SAP solutions were very tightly coupled to each other, which resulted in data restrictions. Getting data from different sources was tough and tedious. Compared to these old solutions, Denodo is very easy to work with for the analytical team. Now that we've implemented this virtualization layer, we are capable of getting the data very smoothly. We implemented a very small unit, but the performance and integration have been very good."
"It is a go-to tool for data virtualization. The virtualization and data catalog are the features of why we chose Denodo."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"Documentation needs to be improved"
"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."
"The dropdown menus feel antiquated to me, and the administrative portals need improvement."
"I would like it if we could pull the data model or export the data model because Denodo has, based on how you build, something called associations. The data model gets very confusing when you go look at it. It depends on how you define it, but it's really huge. I wish there was a way to export it into Visio. It could be that they already have a way to do it, and I don't know, but it would be much easier for the architects and even for the developers to look at it than scrunching it into the screen and expanding every small portion of it. If there was an easy way to export the Denodo model into another modeling tool and view it, it would be great."
"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material. From an administrative standpoint, I've found that only Denodo websites provide the usual tutorials. It may be because it's a bit of a restricted tool, but it results in trouble with learning. Normally, I can find help and solutions from other sources, but I haven't been able to find any for Denodo. Other that, it's fine and it performs well. I only have six months of experience, so I can't accurately suggest improvements."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
