Find out what your peers are saying about Informatica, Alation, SAP and others in Metadata Management."Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"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."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"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 has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"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 connections with SAP must be improved."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
