Azure Data Catalog vs. Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud

Azure Data Catalog helps us solve data discovery problems
brilliantly. Our organization created a single source of truth for our data,
which allowed us to develop BI and data science solutions. We can drag tables
or data sources to manage workflow. Some of the more complicated data normalization
or standardization issues need to be simplified, and I'd like to see that
happen.

Collibra is well suited where you have multiple reporting environments and multiple source systems. Collibra works well in our environment because we can delegate roles and administration to departments or it can be used in a centralized environment. The ability to customize attributes and assets as well and integrate using the rest api is very important to us.

Collibra offers more features [than alternatives] and is easy for business users to use. We did a proof of concept with Collibra using the Cloud service that allowed us to kick the tires and get a comfort level before we made the investment. At the time of our purchase the market was very immature and is continuing to evolve.

Incentivized

• Azure platform makes it easier for us to register & catalogue all available information easily. This way when the customer actually made a sudden request or they want to access sensitive information on their own, the data is readily presented to them. Needless to say we use this mined and catalogue data for a variety of inhouse training and other improvement initiatives.

• ROI is hard to measure because there are so many soft benefits that come from the tool. We do have a variety of metrics that we track using Collibra to better gauge the maturity of data governance.
