Essential service for data management and analysis.
What do you like best about the product?
Dremio became an essential solution to maintain instant data collection in our company, which is why we decided to extend our use of Dremio in the first year of use, we noticed that the results on data collection had been very complete and had helped us to collect data from various sources and virtualize it, as well as export this data to analysis platforms. One of the things I liked most about Dremio were:
1.- Dremio integrates perfectly with platforms such as Power BI and Tableau, we currently use Dremio with Power BI integration and we have noticed that this integration has been relatively good, just by linking a new API we have been able to extract and synchronize data in real time so that our end employees can have a perfect data analysis.
2.- We store various data from our properties, financial data, customer data, and much more, so Dremio has been a completely perfect database service, with SQL support and Apache support, which allows me to connect to different data sources, extract data easily, and establish data virtualization, either to combine data or to transform new data.
3.- I love the way Dremio is able to have automated table creation, in these tables you can correctly organize all the data collected from different sources and then transfer this infromation to Power BI. The automated Power BI service and the AI it uses have helped us generate quick reports on the behavior of new data with respect to old data, to be able to see comparisons in real time, see data sources depending on regions, and much more.
4.- Dremio uses a very advanced data migration compared to other similar platforms, using very advanced protocols such as JDBC, which helps to migrate data in a few seconds, and helps to keep the transfer of data to the database almost instantaneous.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the features that I din't like about Dremio is that originally this platform doesn't have a real-time analysis service and automatic report generation like Power BI and platforms like Tableau do. Even though I really liked this integration between both platforms because it helps me manage reports quickly, I think that Dremio should have its own BI function to enhance the analysis of new data within the platform and that data migration is not so necessary every moment. Another feature that I didn't like about Dremio is that the platform in general needs to be used by a person with a lot of experience in database management with Apache and SQL, otherwise, you will have complications for the administration and migration of data of all kinds and from any source. These have been the only negative things that I have noticed about Dremio, since with respect to the functions that it currently offers, all the functions have been useful in my company and have not given any kind of failure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At our company, we use Dremio to help us manage most of the data we use for customer management, financial management, property management, new project management, and much more. Dremio has been too secure a database for us, we feel that the time we have invested within this platform has helped us collect essential data for decision making within the company, Dremio was integrated with most of the platforms we use daily for data management and reporting, this has managed to further enhance the results we already had when we started using it. We currently use the Enterprise Version of Dremio and we do not regret having started using it. For our projects, Dremio has allowed us to correctly visualize the workload depending on the data collected, optimize data based on overall costs, analyze overall data in the cloud, organize workloads separately depending on the projects. Overall, Dremio has been instrumental in the collection, management, organization and manipulation of data for our company, as well as helping to maintain data security and ensure a completely secure data migration.

Dremio is easy to configure and maintain, requiring little effort to implement from small to large clusters. It is well-documented, easy to extend, and integrates smoothly with other applications. It efficiently utilizes resources, though it has a powerfull C3 cache. The community site is highly active, providing strong support for questions about usage and configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though it is open source and part of the code is available on GitHub, they do not give importance to the community's efforts to collaborate with code modifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Dremio, we have solved the problem of efficiently storing data, consolidating multiple data sources, and having a robust lakehouse that allows us to process data quickly and deliver near real-time reports and dashboards.

A highly stable solution that works like a data warehouse on top of data lakes
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Dremio has resolved my data lineage and data governance problems. The solution has also resolved the data availability for a different range of users, which used to be a problem.
What is most valuable?
Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage. The solution gives me a place where I can play around with the data virtually by creating VDSs or PDSs. Dremio works just like a data warehouse on top of my data lake, which is interesting.
What needs improvement?
Dremio's interface is good, but it has a few limitations. I cannot do a lot of things with ANSI SQL or basic SQL. I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported.
The use case I am working on requires building trees and hierarchical structures. Most of the time, it requires complex nested data structures to be made simpler for end users. It would be good if Dremio could provide a way to create trees just like Oracle does using commands like CONNECT BY and NO CYCLE.
You can use a few languages to simplify complicated JSON and XML. It would be very helpful if Dremio could provide a solution to simplify building trees and building meaningful data from complex data.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Dremio ten out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Dremio ten out of ten for scalability.
How was the initial setup?
I rate Dremio ten out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.
What about the implementation team?
