"As far as the functionality of the tool is concerned, it's pretty slick."
"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 interface is not very user-friendly and can be difficult to navigate."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"Collibra is not very user-friendly in terms of lineage generation. The lineage generation process is quite tough, and it takes lots of time to understand it. Business staff are also struggling to generate lineages and to understand them. So, it is not very user-friendly."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
