In addition, Galaxy offers proprietary features such as fully managed connectors, global search, schema discovery, monitoring and metrics, and data sharing with data products that allow your data teams to focus on generating unique insights from your data - not managing and building analytics infrastructure.

Outstanding Performance and Savings with Robust Governance
Reviewed on Dec 09, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The query performance, governance features, and cost savings stand out when compared to other solutions such as AWS Athena.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could use a more modern design and enhancements to make it easier to use. Additionally, the existing documentation is too basic for enterprise needs; users would benefit from more advanced, production-level examples instead of just beginner tutorials. Finally, the consumption-based pricing model makes it difficult to predict monthly expenses with accuracy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product offers capabilities in data analytics, cataloguing, and data governance. It provides tools that help manage and organize data efficiently, supporting both analysis and oversight. Overall, it addresses key needs in handling and governing data within an organization.

Streamlined Data Analytics with Excellent Support
Reviewed on Dec 05, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Starburst gives us more insight about the query execution plan. It's really helpful in understanding how a query is going to execute. It also has lineage and audit features. I find it user-friendly for managing data security with RBAC and based security controls, which are necessary for data governance. Starburst is especially useful for running complex queries, especially when dealing with multiple joins and data source systems. It supports multiple languages, which I find very valuable. Setting up Starburst wasn't complex, and I had good support from the solution architect, which made the process successful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I face challenges with the query editor. Whenever we have a big source code, it's not big enough to troubleshoot and run the query faster compared to a traditional SQL editor. I would definitely give feedback to the internal team to make it more user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst solves data duplication issues, allowing access to any source without copying data for analytics. It's user-friendly for managing data security with RBAC and facilitates complex queries across multiple data sources, supporting multilingual analytics.

Reviewed on Nov 15, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Effortlessly federating data is a standout feature, and the ability to apply data governance with a high level of granularity is impressive. I also appreciate how easy it is to use overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback is the absence of a built-in data processing and orchestration mechanism.

The platform enables rapid data integration from a variety of sources, spanning different regions and cloud environments. It simplifies feature engineering for AI datasets, making the process more efficient. With a single platform, it delivers governed data to multiple stakeholders, ensuring consistency and control. Automated user access is streamlined through OKTA SAML setup, enhancing security and ease of use. Additionally, curated data can be provided directly to client storage, eliminating the need to store or transfer data locally.
