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.
I have 15+ experience in Database admin
What do you like best about the product?
Connecting to the Multiple sources and Retrieving the Data
What do you dislike about the product?
Modifying the Query function and Hive Queries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are tested using Starburst in Data factory , on one linked service , For Data Comparision it is very easy
Great support for a great product
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst is a great product, it has been very stable, and has enabled our business to make business decisions faster by making a single source of data for all of our sources. The implementation team from Starburst has been extremely helpful, and has worked to help push our team in the right direction and continued to drive us forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am happy that Starburst is implementing built-in row-level filtering and masking. Ranger has been our only pain point with Starburst. That being said, ranger has worked well, it just is implemented as a completely separate application, which requires its own authentication and management system to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst has made it much easier for our users to access data from different data sources without having to use different tools to connect to those data sources. Additionally, Starburst gives us the ability to apply security filtering necessary for our GovCloud environment.
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
We have found that Starburst Enterprise is very easy to deploy, use and administer. The tool has many connectors and can run queries across multiple data sources which power all our ad-hoc analyses from various teams. The support systems are very helpful and the case response time is quite low and resulting in faster resolution.
What do you dislike about the product?
We ran into issues during the upgrade due to some undocumented breaking changes that affected our timelines. Maybe a way to administer adding or removing data catalogs without restarting the cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise connectors allow us to easily connect legacy source systems to our modern ones. Starburst Support is extremely helpful and knowledgeable with very technical questions Starburst product features continue to impress, such as Insights and Galaxy, and the integration capabilities are very strong

Visible accelerates time-to-insight leveraging Starburst Galaxy.
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst has provided us with a highly professional and personalized user experience towards getting us started with their Galaxy offering.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being a relatively new offering, Galaxy lacks some of the features found in Starburst Enterprise, however, functionality is being added on a continual basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Starburst, our customers are able to derive business insights from distributed data sources thereby making more informed decisions around their business strategy.
Starburst Enterprise is a really good solution to deliver data comsuption for your data environment
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst has a lot of features that improve the experience in comparison with Trino OpenSource. Besides, a lot of features are still in development. The basic features already fill your requirements to make connections between all your sources into a single point of truth.
What do you dislike about the product?
We spent a good amount of time configuring the certificates with Apache Ranger and Starburst Enterprise. The Helm Chart of Apache Ranger it's not stable right now and maybe I'll switch to Built-in access control that have the same granulity control of Ranger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst helps us to configure a Helm Release that is auditable and easily scalable with all the configurations set to our security pattern. And all the solutions are built-in (control and query editor), that we don't need more complexity to create an environment to consume from Trino (Starburst Enterprise).
