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."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 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."
"The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"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."
"It enables a linear view of the data assets across different levels, providing a comprehensive understanding."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"Collibra Governance's most valuable features are data lineage and stewardships."
"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"Axon does one interesting thing that I don't think other tools do as well. It lets you rate data and incorporates Informatica's data quality feature into it. There are little indications and graphics that show you how good the data quality is, and you can drill into it to see where potential issues lie."
"The features for data quality, data cataloging, and UI are excellent."
"The product is stable."
"The solution offers good data governance."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon has been the data marketplace."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"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."
"We would like to have out-of-the-box automation."
"From a usability perspective, customers usually find some areas of the solution a bit complex. It takes a long time for the customers to get used to the UI and the interface."
"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"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."
"There are certain limitations and difficulties regarding the migration of complex data quality rules, as the tool may struggle with lengthy calculations and longer loading times."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"I would like to see a feature using the runtime dashboard."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"There are also some technical issues sometimes with integrations because clients have a lot of different types of data sources."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools to streamline the operation."
"It is complicated to establish the lineage in EDC using PowerCenter mappings."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
"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."
"Some functionalities can be a challenge in the cloud."
