Easy tool to integrate multiple platforms data into single
What do you like best about the product?
In the latest versions of Starburst, We liked the idea of Data products. It helps us integrate data from different sources like Hadoop, SQL and Mongo. Easy to query the tables and track the history.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish more support for Mongo tables data. Some of the data types are not supported to query in starburst.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrating multiple data sources into single platform.
Smooth migration. Great performance and cost efficiencies
What do you like best about the product?
We migrated to Galaxy to improve the performance of our dashboards. We had a very smooth migration to Galaxy, with excellent help from SB solution engineers. All in all, Galaxy showed out-of-the-box high performance, allowing us to generate insights more quickly and make data-driven decisions faster, and tremendous cost efficiencies
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that the user interface of the cluster can still improve in terms of its stability and convenience, and more configuration options can be added to the admin screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In addition to the smooth migration process, we have seen significant query cost savings since moving to Galaxy. Trino's query engine is highly optimized for complex analytical queries, allowing us to run queries more efficiently and with fewer resources. As a result, we have reduced our query costs by a significant amount, which has been a major benefit for our company. Since migrating to Galaxy, we have seen a significant improvement in query performance. With Trino's distributed architecture and parallel processing capabilities, we can run queries much faster than we were able to with our previous data warehouse solution. This has allowed us to generate insights and make data-driven decisions more quickly, which has been a massive advantage for our business.
Data Analysis Productivity Increase
What do you like best about the product?
Has allowed us to increase our efficiency for data analytics and reporting, due to the increase in speeds of the data platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some changes in ways that dates are used in the data and this has caused some confusion at times from a usability point of view
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increase in data speed and visulatisation means that we are able to perform tasks more efficiently.
Our data, previously difficult to work with, feels unlocked
What do you like best about the product?
1. Seamless querying across databases, even of different types.
2. Transparent troubleshooting.
3. Built on top of open source software. Makes troubleshooting easier!

What do you dislike about the product?
Only nitpicky things here, like lack of autocomplete in the UI. Also, using the same Hive metastore across multiple catalogs results in all of those catalogs showing every schema in the metastore in every catalog that uses it. Would be nice to filter those.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like I said in the beginning, it feels like we have unlocked our data for our data analysts and anyone at the organization that needs to get to some data that was previously difficult to access. Being able to query across several databases of different types is incredible and working seamlessly. Hard to imagine working without it at this point.
Starburst Enterprise on-premise review
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst works great for us since we can seamlessly connect different databases and perform join operations between them without ever needing to transport our data. It's very convenient to discover and query data that has been connected.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently i can not think of any downsides. Since i started working with Starburst it has been a smooth ride where things just work the way i want to, when i want to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It creates a single point of access of our companies data, making analytics and other data operations incredible smooth and convenient. Personally i benefit from it since it abstracts away alot of the technical details and just lets me focus on using the data.
Deployment of Starburst was smooth
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst as a tool is very impressive, with a wide selection of options available to make it highly customisable. With features like the ability to write queries and join multiple data sources that otherwise, we wouldn't be able to. This allows for a single-pain-of-glass approach that we wouldn't have had before the implementation of Starburst.
Help from TAMs and Techincal Teams have been excellent throughout our journey, often granting time and help to us, to make Starburst act like we want it to.
Along with this the use of Kubernetes to make the platform more scalable and configurable has been great during the development.

Along with this the use of Kubernetes to make the platform more scalable and configurable has been great during the development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the options available within the documentation for specific tools (like specific connectors) can feel a tad lacking, meaning we occasionally have to reach out to support to resolve queries. Along with this, it would have been nice early on to have more information about how starburst is recommended to scale so that we would have been able to design it into our solution from Day 1.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst is allowing the single-pane-of-glass approach that I have mentioned before. Along with enabling us to keep our data sources up to date and working towards a future where Data is easily accessible to the people who need to access it, through a single system.
Implementing Starburst within a Lakehouse Architecture
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst is great for acting as a Data Federation Hub. It is simple to configure new connectors and getting those up and running very quickly.
Starburst integration and acceleration of iceberg based data in S3 was the key selling point for us. Enabling our vision of a Lakehouse based on AWS .

What do you dislike about the product?
The public facing documentation does not quite cover all the nuances of installation and configuration. We encounter a couple of scenarios where the documentation didn't go far enough with instructions. However, the account team were able to fill in the gaps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our challenge was allowing a single interface for data consumers and production processes to query across our established data warehouse and our lakehouse. Allowing us to link data that could not be linked before.
Excellent Engagement
What do you like best about the product?
From a Platform Engineering perspective, the engagement from the Starburst team around workshopping a solution and providing assistance during the installation and configuration is really valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times - the documentation can be a bit of a tangled web, however once located it usually covers everything you need, although some items do not always appear in the documentation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enables us to query multiple sources from a single tool and provide meaningful data products across these sources.
Ingest and Act on Data Faster
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst has empowered our team to take large data sets and really understand how those datasets will optimize our business model. Starburst has a UI that makes this process both easy and seamless as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Starburst's concept offers a straightforward approach toward obtaining helpful data in an ingestible way, at times the connectors/integrations do not work as expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For our team, we encounter large lead lists and analytics on performances by our teams, partners, and affiliates. Starburst allows us to identify areas of both strength and weakness that we previously would spend hours sifting through to understand.
