I believe the top two are Colibra and Alation.  My recommendation would be to first understand your requirements and ensure you have a data inventory.  Tools are just tools, without people and process you are still dead in the water.  If you are just blindly asking for suggestions without understanding your needs you will likely stumble into a bad solution.

What is the problem are you trying to solve?  Are you trying to meet certain compliance requirements or you are concerned about the security, privacy of your data?

I agree Alation is a leader, also OneTrust is starting to make inroads in this area.

For ease of use Ataccama. We’ve found Infomatica good for end-to-end workflows to manage data quality.

I think Alation is a top, can providing solutions helping the organization derive the best out of provided data. Recommendation is software vendor must be understand customer's requirements and conduct customization on data sets.

The real Q is what do you want to achieve, there are so many DG SW out there and as stated below Colibra is leader, first is understanding what exactly are you looking to manage, based on the matrix, one can now ask more Q like cloud/on perm/mobile support/integration with SIEM, API/ automation with 365/Google etc

There are several top-rated SW packages out there and for the most part (a few have already been mentioned, but I would add Infogix to the list), each has its own strength, so the very first thing for an organization to do (this was mentioned previously) is to determine their primary goal(s) for the use of a Data Governance solution and select the most appropriate offer.  Many companies I've seen have simply made a purchase of a product, without really understanding their primary driver and desired outcome, resulting in a waste of money,time and capability.

My recommendation is that if you are going to select a critical enterprise software for data governance, then you need to create a detailed requirements document that can be used in the RFP process.

Don’t rely on the Gartner Magic Quadrant in your selection. Rather understand what your exact needs are and then search for a vendor who can meet those needs.

Colibra works well in most cases.

Without a doubt - Technical Debt! It's a ball and chain that creates an ever increasing drag on any organization, stifles innovation, and prevents transformation.
