More Collibra Catalog Pros →

"Working on the roles, actually, is the most valuable aspect.""The feature I found most valuable in IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog is the lineage as it's very powerful and it provides data analytics in terms of where the data lives and where it goes. The interface is also clear, though it could still be sorted out, but the lineage is the most powerful thing in the solution.""What I liked about IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog is that it seemed to have most of the options that you would want from a government catalog. The features of the product are very rich and comprehensive.""The ability to create special rules inside the solution using Portuguese is the most valuable feature.""The graphic flows and the lineage are the most valuable features of this solution.""It is easy to use.""Ability to connect with multiple types of sources.""The best feature of IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog for me is that it's easy to use and only requires a little bit of manual intervention. Once you discover the data sources, everything flows into the tool automatically, so you do not have to map it manually. There's been a lot of automation in the solution which I like best."

Cons
"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.""Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."

More Collibra Catalog Cons →

"They need to improve asset management.""The scalability has room for improvement.""Sometimes, if the product is new, getting support is difficult and the team was facing some challenges.""The simplicity of usage could improve. Perhaps the simplicity of use for end users, not for system integrators, but for the user, the end users.""What I would tell IBM in terms of what needs to change or improve is that the product is too complicated. IBM purchased various components from different vendors over time and certainly in the UK, IBM did not have anybody that had the expertise to be able to get IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog to run properly.""The solution has performance issues when scaling up small sets of information such as assets and data lineage to the ITC.""What could be improved in IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog is its query tool, including its terms, labels, and reports because the query tool isn't user-friendly. This would also be an additional feature or enhancement in the solution that would make it more attractive to users and would make IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog a really good solution.""An area for improvement in IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog is that it's missing a lot of connectors. Clients complain about not being able to connect some data sources because there's no available connector, so my company raised that issue with IBM. In some cases, third-party connectors are available, but not for all data sources. Another area that needs improvement in the solution is stability because it also has some stability issues. This is the same issue with the other IBM products bundled with IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog. The solution is connected with IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer and IBM InfoSphere DataStage in my company, so if one has issues with stability, the rest of the products are affected as well."

  • More Collibra Catalog Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "In terms of pricing, I find IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog excessive. It's at the top end of the price range in terms of what you get for your money. It's an expensive product, and contractually, IBM is difficult to deal with. I can't remember the exact cost of IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog, but it could be in the region of three hundred thousand pounds."
  • "Licensing for IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog is per user."
  • "Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
  • "IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog is expensive."

    Overview

    Collibra Catalog is both a report and a data catalog that helps analysts and information users spend less time looking for essential clinical, financial, and operational data and more time solving critical business challenges.

    Information governance is a next-gen comprehensive process of administering, enhancing, and collating information to strengthen an organization’s trust and belief that its decision and business processes are the best for the organization’s overall health and continued progress. IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog is an intuitive, progressive web-based tool that empowers users to discover, comprehend, and dissect information. Users are able to design, administer, and collaborate to track data pipelines, execute protocols and procedures, and share common business languages.

    Integrate the solution with IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog to increase on-premises Information Governance Catalog efficiency in the cloud and improve the benefit of current gathered data sets. This value-added governance catalog enables users to place gathered metadata where experienced users, analytics, and data communities have seamless protected access to the appropriate resources, based on need, while still maintaining the organization's governance standards.

    IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog delivers a secure starting point for organizations to better comprehend and govern their information across the entire network, and continually delivers secure, well-defined, and governed data.

    IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog Benefits

    • Manage catalog metadata: Run data workflows to prove trusted information, support compliance and governance standards, resolve duplicate assets, map databases to database aliases, and automate the authentication of data sources to improve overall project deployment. Additionally, users will discover how data moves across the network and will be able to identify how and where data was sourced and how it is being consumed. This will promote a greater assurance and belief that the data is continually secure and safe.

    • Improved people and process management: The solution helps to definitively clarify roles and responsibilities of all team participants. Users can easily design, edit, and publish governance protocols, accept new or audited information governance rules, and/or move the rule to Draft status. Users will also obtain notice (via email) of any governance issues that appear in their glossary or information assets.

    • Boost current metadata: This can be achieved by using descriptions and relationships, group related labels, stewards, assets, and custom attributes to all other related assets. Develop protracted data sources to add metadata to the catalog that may not be able to be added automatically or that are not able to be imported easily from outside third-party applications. The solution will also help users have a greater understanding of all their data assets - unstructured, semi-structured, and structured.

    • Discover assets in the catalog: Users can easily initiate either a simple or advanced search or even begin very intensive deep queries. An intuitive GUI is available to trace the history of all changes, probe stewards, information assets, glossary assets, and all other catalog content.
    • Seamless cloud integration: IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog facilitates a smooth adjustment to the cloud. This makes it no longer necessary to employ an on-premise ecosystem. This move will also result in significantly reduced resource usage and help save on overall administrative costs for the organization.
