Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."The solution has good workflows and is based on AIML."
"I like the lineage feature the most because I don't think there's any other tool that actually depicts the data flow from multiple sources and the connectivities between every data element inside those sources."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"I like Collibra's flexibility. I like to be able to modify things for our own use. For example, we've chosen to use Collibra also as a knowledge management tool, even though it is not designed to be a knowledge management tool. That's the beauty of it. It can serve as a knowledge management tool by creating some custom assets specifically for knowledge management."
"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."
"Workflow is very helpful and assessment are good features. I really like the structure of this solution and how it is compartmentalized."
"It's incredibly easy to use."
"There is a good community setup around the solution that can provide insights."
"IBM Data Governance improved data analytics operations. During a company merger, we used IBM Data Governance to understand and bridge sample data between systems."
"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"Certain implementations, including lineage maps, could be user-friendly."
"The workflows and the language they use needs to be improved."
"Data discovery needs to be improved."
"Many other tools like Collibra Governance give you the option to actually see the data in the tool, which is not an option in Collibra."
"From a usability perspective, customers usually find some areas of the solution a bit complex. It takes a long time for the customers to get used to the UI and the interface."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"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."
"One area with room for improvement would be the ability to generate detailed quality reports. Some Python libraries provide quality scores and reports—having that capability within IBM Data Governance would be beneficial."
