No more wasting time on data drudgery

What do you like best about the product?
Starburst demonstrates outstanding capabilities for retrieving data from multiple different sources. As part of a project I needed to assess sales records stored across three separate databases. Through Starburst I was able to execute multi database queries so I avoided spending one full day conducting the work. The outstanding security protocols of the platform bring reliability during the handling of critical data. Our daily operations thrive from automatic data encryption combined with user authentication features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, one thing that can be a little frustrating on Starburst is closing the query window before saving your work. If there was an auto save feature for this it would be great. One issue is that very complex queries sometimes bogs down the system, and there are some performance problems here and there. Take for example, I sometimes had a query that needed to be run, and it took over 10 minutes to complete, that was a pain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Starburst enables our organization to conduct flawless integrated data queries and analysis through multiple data systems. We formerly put a great deal of effort into manual data consolidation between multiple databases yet the work often included mistakes and variance. Starburst enables real time access to updated information which streamline decision processes for our organization. Our data security expands stronger because we no longer need to transfer data nor worry about unauthorized database entry because implementing Starburst.

Great for complex queries

What do you like best about the product?
I like to see how Starburst makes it easier to link disparate data sets. Despite this, it keeps working, running smoothly, and maintaining standard and precision in every organization even when dealing with different environments. The use of research has helped in minimizing the risks posed by incomplete and other mismatched data results. The flexibility it has shown in dealing with the different types of queries it receives has helped minimize on overly complicated intra-functional work flows while directing more effort to the production of relevant results.
What do you dislike about the product?
One major inconvenience of Starburst is that during heavily utilized periods, when executing complicated queries, it draws a rather large number of resources, and hence can be slow. Because fixing these queries involves some high level of technical experience, the problem solving would take a lot of time consuming time than required hence the disruption of the normal working progress hence affecting time bound projects that would be very crucial in the achievement of business objectives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst has addressed the problem of having different sources of data where the user has to develop different pipelines to handle them and this has reduce a lot of time and energy. It relieves our team of managing infrastructural issues that would otherwise distract from creating the desired impact. The search and handling of data from different sources have become easier and efficient due to Starburst making our outcomes more accurate and our programs more on schedule.

What do you like best about the product?
The thing that I like most about Starburst is that it gives you instant access to all kinds of data across all sorts of places without ever needing to move the data physically. The ability for us to pull insights directly from where the data lives greatly benefits our workflow. By not having to manually collect, transfer, or aggregate data before using it, we’ve been able to streamline our processes and save us a lot of very valuable time.
What do you dislike about the product?
In sum there are many good things with Starburst search engine but it is not always suitable for task of executing very specific, detailed questions. In some cases when a certain level of depth or specificity is required for business operations we have had to turn to other tools. Sometimes this longer process can be quite bothersome, especially when one has to shift between the tools for the purpose of the different interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst helps us solve one of its main challenges – use of dataset across multiple platforms for analysis becomes challenging. We found ourselves daily shuffling and merging data without the use of It which was greatly involving and full of errors. Now with Starburst we can go direct to where the data sits and it has helped to do a lot of these things for us, so we are more efficient and pretty much get accuracy in our working which has led to making quicker decisions.

Finally querying data from different sources feels effortless

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like Starburst to be able to let us query data from various sources but we don’t need to bring everything into one central database. It doesn’t matter it is AWS, Snowflake or other data platforms as we can work with data from multiple systems simultaneously. It saves ourselves from the extra steps like data transformation or migration and makes us to focus on what we should and actually need to do. It’s a big time saver and it makes it easier to streamline the processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem with Starburst is permissions and access control across multiple data sources. There’s no central place to manage the permissions of all platforms. And each system has its own security protocols. The simple implication is that there’s a lot of elements we have to log into separately to make the changes that we need to. It’s an extra step that can throw off workflow, and especially when working on several platforms, with different user access needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Starburst, you have solved the problem of accessing and working with data that resides in multiple systems. Until that point we had to merge datasets manually, which was slow and error prone. With Starburst, we have eliminated a lot of time and the potential to slip up by allowing us to query the data that we're getting from AWS, Snowflake, and so forth directly. This efficiency has freed us more time to spend our analysis and decision making.

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy most about Starburst the ability to increase the overall speed and accuracy of how we retrieve our data. The platform ensures that whatever we're looking for pulls up instantly, and correctly. With this efficiency, my team has more time to actually thing about a problem instead of wasting time browsing for data. We’ve found it very smooth on the data management side, making our processes much smoother, and bringing a lot more productivity to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Starburst is a challenge if you have a lot of users, and a lot of them are accessing it at the same time - it can become slow. However, there is a occasional lag disorientating on workflow mostly when we are about to have access to the data quickly. The platform is too unstable during peak periods. It happens when we can’t do things on time, and when we can’t, we need to start over with deadlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst has found a much more efficient way to solve the problem of how to access data across many different systems. Before, we did spend a lot of time moving between platforms to package and potenially pull data manually. Finally, now we can get everything we need from a single place, maximizing our time and working a lot quicker. Also, the integration of various data sources into one platform has allowed us to run reports, and make quicker decisions.
