Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."We have folks in the field doing our clinical research operations, and they have the opportunity to refer to Collibra when they are examining a particular report. When they have a question about how something in that report is derived, they can pull a metric that is defined fully in Collibra. They have the opportunity to drill back into Collibra to see that."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"The most valuable features of Collibra are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities."
"Collibra Governance comes with a lot of features, and we have used it in one of our projects for metadata management and data lineage."
"Collibra Governance is a stable solution."
"The automation process is very strong."
"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."
"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."
"Pricing policy of the product is an area with certain shortcomings that needs improvement."
"There's a lot of things available in their Data Intelligence Cloud that are not available on-premise."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
"The connectors for metadata ingestion need to be improved."
"The technical support could be better."
"We had issues during setup."
"The connectors are not very sophisticated. They can do, for example, Informatica and Tableau, but the connectors themselves could be improved."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"It is significantly complex."
"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."
