Gartner notes that governance use cases must support situational application of policies and rules. More than 50 percent of those that responded to information requests from Gartner said that governance was their highest-priority use case. Collibra and DATUM scored the best for governance, with Smartlogic, Alex Solutions, and Informatica following behind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gartner recommends starting small with metadata management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The analyst house suggests that the best course of action is to smart small with metadata management by developing strategies surrounding data and analytics. They warn that embarking on the vendor selection process before clearly outlining the use cases for which the product is going to be used could wind up a disaster. Organizations should select the tool that will provide the most immediate benefit, and then add additional use cases over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Collibra is the report&#8217;s top scorer, with DATUM and Alex Solutions also performing well<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\u00a0Collibra\u00a0Data Dictionary documents an organization\u2019s technical metadata and how it is used. It describes the structure of a piece of data, its relationship to other data, and its origin, format, and use. The solution serves as a searchable repository for users who need to understand how and where data is stored and how it can be used. The company scored in the top-two providers for each use case with the best scores for the governance and data risk and compliance use cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">DATUM offers a strong alternative in both governance (2nd-highest score) and the data value use case (top score).
