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

It organizes a pre-existing knowledgebase.. It needs to be implemented by someone with a proven track record and the whole organization needs to commit to it otherwise it becomes an overhead with no benefit at all.
