We performed a comparison between BigID and Collibra Governance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most valuable things in a data-focused world is a tool, a technology that's data-centric, not trying to master data management or whatever else. It's a source of truth for what data an organization holds, giving it the ability to catalog, categorize, and understand its data."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the user experience, the credentialing, and that BigID is user friendly. Additionally, you can deploy to several other Microsoft platforms and you can use it for other things, like a bigger element or a report."
"BigID integrates well with our other products."
"I like BigID's in-depth discovery and scanning capabilities, especially for unstructured data. This feature is a standout compared to competitors. The tool's data classification capabilities are impressive. It offers custom classifiers and a blend of regular exploration and artificial intelligence, making it a next-generation solution. This enhances data security, and its security posture management is straightforward and user-friendly."
"BigID's scanning feature is its most valuable component."
"The most valuable feature is the discovery process for the data catalog because we get it in a visual format as a way to understand and classify it."
"It helps us build a powerful workflow mechanism where there can be any stewardship, including issue management governing assets using policies, regulations, or business rules."
"Collibra's lineage is a very powerful feature. We have integrated Collibra with Azure and ADLS storage and we create lineage diagrams using the two tools."
"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"The most valuable features of Collibra are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities."
"The customization and the dashboards are pretty good."
"The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"We use the solution's Data Stewardship part."
"Improvement could be made in data consent management and data privacy impact assessment."
"BigID is expensive. I prefer McAfee."
"In terms of what could be improved, when you're looking in a BigID file, you cannot really get the whole file. You have to export it to download it to another platform that allows you to completely view it, or run a program. That was one of the things that was really a disappointing point for me. Not to be able to view everything. There's a lot more data, but you can't get it all at once."
"The tool currently lacks security features."
"BigID is making some forays into the GRC space, and that's a natural progression. I'd like to see that improve so that data governance is better, data risk is identified, and the ability to control and mitigate it."
"I would like to see a feature using the runtime dashboard."
"This solution could be improved with the the addition of process diagrams to help the many users of the platform understand all the fields."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
"Data discovery needs to be improved."
"Recently, I find that the default process of issue management in Collibra is really complex — It wasn't really helpful to us."
"Where it isn't great is on older technologies that you'll typically find in finance or insurance industries, such as older types of data with VSAM or ISAM, or those types of older technologies. It just doesn't connect with them very easily."
"We are not able to ingest all the data in Collibra, and that's why we cannot do element-to-element level data tracking."
"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
