Mind-blowing performance and awesome support
What do you like best about the product?
We use Firebolt to power our Business Intelligence and Analytics module in our enterprise SaaS app. With our main transactional database being Postgres, and Firebolt being Postgres-API compatible, it was very easy to write the ELT process for the transactional data in our main database to the data warehouse in Firebolt.
Our developers are also able to write Firebolt queries with ease, and the aggregate indexes have been extremely helpful at ensuring very fast performance given our reports group on many columns at once.
Firebolt is also able to handle a very consistent "trickle ingestion" workflow which is unusual for this kind of use case but the main challenge that we faced when benchmarking other solutions. This way, we're able to ensure data in the data warehouse is never stale and all reports are pulling from the latest.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing our team has asked for is for Firebolt to expose live charts on the dashboard to monitor engines CPU, Memory, Query count and other basic statistics, however there are queries that can be run to see this information and this has been an acceptable workaround for now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firebolt tackles our biggest data challenges by handling the millions of rows we need for instant reporting across our enterprise SaaS platform. We're ingesting millions of new rows daily, and frequently running massive updates to our datasets.
Before deciding on Firebolt, we benchmarked it against all other major competitors and in most cases it was at least an order of magnitude faster for our queries. What's been game-changing is how Firebolt powers all the reports in our platform without breaking a sweat. This means our customers get the insights they need immediately, without the frustrating wait times they experienced with previous solutions.

Noone can beat Firebolt.
What do you like best about the product?
It has great speed and performance. It allows me to handle large datasets and complex queries in a fraction of the time. It also offers a flexible pricing model, which allows me to pay only for the compute resources I actually use. This is very cost-effective for me as I have variable workloads and don't want to pay for unused capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using firebolt for quite some time and till now I have enjoyed using it and its interface. As of now I dont think that there is something in Firebolt that I dont like about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditional data warehouses are often slow and inefficient when it comes to querying and analyzing large amounts of data. But Firebolt solves this problem of mine by using a unique indexing technology and a cloud-native architecture that enables it to deliver fast query performance even on very large datasets.Traditional data warehouses are very expensive to set up and maintain, especially as data volumes grow. Firebolt's cloud-native approach and pay-as-you-go pricing model make it more cost-effective than traditional data warehouses, allowing me to save money while still getting the analytical insights I need.
Fastest place to store data
What do you like best about the product?
I like how fast it is to run queries and retrieve data using Firebolt. It is really good and our performance increase exponentially when we moved our data from on premise to Firebolt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Right now the integration works very well. But I think it would be really good if we are able to seemlessly integrate with many services out of the box with minimal adjustment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Firebolt to host our data. All of our data was moved from on premise database server to Firebolt could database server. And every day we ran thousands of queries to retrieve data from Firebolt.
Firebolt is Awesome.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a cloud data warehouse that offers high performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency, which are some of the most important features that I typically look for in a data warehousing solution.
Its unique architecture is built around the use of low-cost storage options, which help me save money on storage costs compared to traditional data warehousing solutions.

What do you dislike about the product?
Firebolt is a relatively new technology, so it does not have the same level of community support or third-party integrations as some more established data warehousing solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance:It is built to handle complex data workloads and execute queries quickly, even on large datasets. This helps me save time and resources by enabling me to process and analyze data more efficiently.
Scalability:it is designed to scale horizontally, it adds additional compute resources as needed by me to handle larger workloads. This helps me avoid the need to invest in expensive hardware upgrades or additional data centers to handle increasing amounts of data.

Great performance oriented DWH solution
What do you like best about the product?
Firebolt delivers outstanding query speeds, not seen by other DWH solutions. In addition, they provide a very flexible, pay as you go, pricing model.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some missing features that are provided by other offers, like other CRUD operations besides SELECT and INSERT or missing RBAC permissions. Since the development of the platform is still very active, I assume these features will be added soon to the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having tried different data stores for our data needs, we came to Firebolt as our DWH solution, as it offers great support and a very competitive pricing model. It helped us solve the scaling and storage needs for our data sets since we can just push our data into S3 and ingest it easily into firebolt for querying.
Firebolt is a great solution for data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Firebolt makes it easy to index and query semi-structured JSON data, as well as import database snapshots, which allows us to aggregate data from many sources to answer questions, generate reports, and explore data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Firebolt could do a better job of explaining the underlying error when querying data from an external data source. When a service error occurs, Firebolt could pass through more information to help identify the source of problems, for example, when network errors or permissions errors arise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to ingest data from our game services and 3rd-party services providers, along with database snapshots, to generate scheduled automated reports and create explorable data dashboards. We further want to be able to quickly answer ad hoc queries based on summarized data. Firebolt, along with Tableau (for visualization & data exploration) and Prefect.io (for data ingestion and automation), allow us to solve for these requirements.
We use Firebolt as our DWH solution to run analytics on a huge data scales
What do you like best about the product?
The performance is great on multi-petabyte datasets
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some missing functionalities in the product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
