Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has very good online assistance.""The most valuable features of Collibra Lineage are the multiple options for automation. Additionally, if you have a scenario where automation does not work, you have the option to manually create the lineage. The solution does not force you to always go through an automated way where you have broken lineage and you are stuck without a lineage.""We find the most valuable feature of this solution to be the lineage aspect.""It shows how the data was transformed on the way and how the solutions were derived. This is the essence of the tool and why it is so powerful.""The solution makes data more discoverable and transparent.""The diagrams are good for data visualization."

Cons
"The workflow documentation must be improved.""Collibra Lineage could improve connectively. If they can offer more out-of-the-box connectors, which come as in a package compared to you having to go and buy a lot in the marketplace for certain specific connectors.""Collibra doesn't provide support for integration for SAP Info Steward directly with Collibra.""The product must be cheaper.""Before you can use this solution, you have to make a lot of changes to how you measure your information in your organization, the data governance and policies, and the organizational structures that use them. Many companies believe that if they purchase the licenses for the tool that they have done the job, but this is far from the case with this tool.""We would like this solution to be able to connect directly to the databases, so we can pull directly from Databank without manual intervention."
