Collibra has proven to be a robust data governance and catalog platform that effectively supports modern data architecture patterns. The platform successfully bridges technical metadata management with business data governance, creating a unified catalog experience for both data consumers and producers. What has worked well: - The platform's integration capabilities enable automated metadata synchronization with cloud data platforms, eliminating manual tagging efforts and ensuring consistency across data ecosystems. - The comprehensive data catalog provides rich metadata fields that enable effective data discovery and governance. What hasn't worked well: - The multi-stage status workflow (Candidate --> Under Review --> Accepted) can create confusion for users trying to discover data, as assets aren't searchable until they reach "Accepted" status - Dependencies on manual metadata enrichment processes can introduce bottlenecks despite automated technical metadata capabilities Read all insights and reviews for Collibra Platform

I've been involved with our Informatica IDMC rollout for roughly two years now, mostly from the infrastructure and governance side. I don't build mappings or transformations myself -- I manage the cloud environment it connects into, handle the networking for Secure Agents, and help teams get onboarded. From that angle, I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5. It does what we need it to do, but getting there took more effort than anyone planned for. The core reason for the high marks is that before IDMC, our data cataloging situation was a mess. We had a sprawling hybrid footprint -- on-prem Oracle and SQL Server databases, AWS S3 buckets, Glue catalogs, data lakes served through Trino -- and nobody had a single view of what existed where. IDMC gave our governance team that view. After about six months of scanning and profiling, they were finally able to answer questions such as "where does this customer field live?" without pinging three different platform teams.

My experience with Alex has been really positive overall. It makes it much easier for me to find, understand and trust the data I work with every day. Automated lineage is especially helpful; I can quickly see where data comes from and how changes might impact other systems. This level of transparency has made my work much more accurate and a lot less stressful.Read all insights and reviews for ALEX

For us it was the only product in the market that would allow to centralize, in a easy way, a data catalog from multiple database technologies (Key pair, SQL, MongoDB, etc.). Product has a lot of features and I really loved how great was customer support and how eager they were to listen for new features/improvements for the next release.
