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."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"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."
"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."
"Provides a good open source option."
"The area where Lumada has helped us is in the commercial area. There are many extractions to compose reports about our sales team performance and production steps. Since we are using Lumada to gather data from each industry in each country. We can get data from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia at the same time. We can then concentrate and consolidate it in only one place, like our data warehouse. This improves our production performance and need for information about the industry, production data, and commercial data."
"The graphical nature of the development interface is most useful because we've got people with quite mixed skills in the team. We've got some very junior, apprentice-level people, and we've got support analysts who don't have an IT background. It allows us to have quite complicated data flows and embed logic in them. Rather than having to troll through lines and lines of code and try and work out what it's doing, you get a visual representation, which makes it quite easy for people with mixed skills to support and maintain the product. That's one side of it."
"The way it has improved our product is by giving our users the ability to do ad hoc reports, which is very important to our users. We can do predictive analysis on trends coming in for contracts, which is what our product does. The product helps users decide which way to go based on the predictive analysis done by Pentaho. Pentaho is not doing predictions, but reporting on the predictions that our product is doing. This is a big part of our product."
"It's very simple compared to other products out there."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to use PL/SQL statements inside the data transformations and jobs."
"We can schedule job execution in the BA Server, which is the front-end product we're using right now. That scheduling interface is nice."
"Lumada has allowed us to interact with our employees more effectively and compensate them properly. One of the cool things is that we use it to generate commissions for our salespeople and bonuses for our warehouse people. It allows us to get information out to them in a timely fashion. We can also see where they're at and how they're doing."
"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."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"I could not connect to our Hadoop environment in an easy and flexible way, and it was important to scale our data warehouse."
"In the Community edition, it would be nice to have more modules that allow you to code directly within the application. It could have R or Python completely integrated into it, but this could also be because I'm using an older version."
"As far as I remember, not all connectors worked very well. They can add more connectors and more drivers to the process to integrate with more flows."
"I work with the Community Edition, therefore I do not have support. There was an issue that I could not resolve with community support."
"I would like to see more improvements with AS400 DB2."
"If you're working with a larger data set, I'm not so sure it would be the best solution. The larger things got the slower it was."
"The product needs more plugins."
"If you develop it on MacBook, it'll be quite a hassle."
