Business Term, Metrics and Reporting Catalog. We can now house this info in one platform vs our previous way of keeping data in Excel, Sharepoint slides, multiple areas. Our business users are pleased with the fact that they can now have one place to search for reports vs asking other business users - was very time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The technical lineage views and diagram views are very confusing for users. It’s hard to view the end to end because of how many nodes there may be.
Confusing for users to understand business lineage vs technical lineage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Scalability. Previously my organisation used stored procedures automatically triggered on a pipeline to analyse the DQ of data entering the data lake. This meant for every new rule we need to write a new stored procedure each time. Now I can create jobs with multiple rules (and use template rules) which is far quicker than before.

The tool is quite buggy. I am not an infra expert but it seems every 2-4 weeks I have to engage premium support and my infra department to figure out why jobs are not running. Additionally I find when new releases happen there are often times bug fixed but also bug introduced, especially the most recent 2025.02 release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Centralized data governance: everything is consolidated in one place, which makes search, documentation, and traceability much easier.
Business glossary: extremely useful to align technical and business teams around a common language.
Customizable workflows: practical for managing validation steps and governance processes.
Integration with other tools (ETL, BI, technical catalogs, etc.): helps build a real ecosystem around data.
Customizable Metamodal: relationships between objects (datasets, reports, rules, policies, etc.): provides good visibility into the data value chain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Apparent complexity in onboarding: significant improvements have been made with the new interface (the previous one was clearly outdated)
Configuration: extremely powerful, but can quickly become technical and somewhat rigid without expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I appreciate the most about Collibra is how it can enforce data governance policies. With the platform we can define and monitor our data stewardship practices, that helped us enormously in improving data quality across our organization. Also very valuable is the customizable reporting, which provides us with details on how data is being used and if compliance is occurring. This also provides us with a level of control which allows us to stay on top of our regulatory requirements and data governance is more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes, Collibra’s customization of workflows can be tricky, specifically when you need to change some process according to your needs. There’s leeways, but not always enough to the level of leeways that we need to get. Furthermore, there is also an awkward amount of manual steps to do when managing large datasets, that don't move too quickly. However, these challenges have sometimes curbed our workflow, but we are getting used to taking a different approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The search capability. It is so nice having the capability of global search and being able to find exactly what I’m looking for. It saves so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Data classification is not as sophisticated as I was led to believe. It appears to be column name and regex based. I thought it was more sophisticated and used AI to identify patterns, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is highly customisable and easy to implement. The support team is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Because of it's high customisation level we, as a company had to restrain ourself on what to use out of the box and what to build ourself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When it comes to collibra the best thing is that it provides very customisable workflows which you won't find on other platforms. Also, the UI of collibra is very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With the recent introduction of collibra's AI Governance application, it has made a great leap in governance but some of the features of it could still be improved in terms of the machine learning models attributes used as well as incorporating better versions of assessments.

Collibra’s standout feature is its robust data governance framework.
