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.
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
A excellent data virtualization product
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Starburst for our service line in our organization. We find the product to be incredible. The feature we use the most is the cross-data source querying data using Starburst. Also, the ability to get data using the Starburst inbuilt APIs. Cross-data source querying allows us to compare the data between different databases and validate the migrated data as we are migrating our on-premise database into Cloud Data Warehousing solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inbuilt APIs could be improved a lot, currently it is little difficult to use it, using pagination.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst enable us to query cross data-source of different types of database. It is an excellent feature that lets us directly use real-time data from different types of databases without actually extracting it. Also, Cross-data source querying allows us to compare the data between different databases and validate the migrated data as we migrate our on-premise database into Cloud Data Warehousing solutions.
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
