It's a useful tool if you can't have something customized
What do you like best about the product?
you can catolog all datasources and dashboards, and easily track the unused and most used ones. So, you can plan deprecation and focus on which ones take more traction and need your attention.
lineage is the most helpful, especially for new-hires that don't know how to reach the initial sources

What do you dislike about the product?
1. I think that the ai-bot still needs a lot of improvent - not able to anwer many question, but to guide you, so that you answer by yourself
2. some easy fixes that could help faster set-up, ie add mass labeling in dashboards
3. not so much added value if you can develop something custom on your own

Column-Level Lineage and Dashboards Association
What do you like best about the product?
Select Star offers a highly detailed column/field-level lineage feature that enables precise tracking of data origins and transformations. This capability is particularly beneficial for data teams where analysts/engineers frequently edit tables and fields, as it helps track the potential impact of future changes on downstream processes.
With the ability to integrate various visualization tools, Select Star offers the association of dashboards with tables in the data warehouse. This feature allows users to see exactly where each table field is used, down to the specific page of each dashboard.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a certain learning curve for maximizing its advanced features e.g. ERDs or lineage visualization. Enhanced documentation or use morecases could help mitigate these challenges.

Go-to-tool for Column Level Lineage
What do you like best about the product?
Things that I like -
1. Column level lineage - it helps in identifying the downstream dependencies and if things would break if there is a change happening to the existing field
2. End to End lineage available if you have your transformational tool, data warehouse and reporting tool integrated
3. Seamless integration with the most used tools in the market
4. Great Customer Support team

2. API documentation and support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a long list of tables built across different environments, and it wasn't easy to make any changes without knowing the downstream impact. Select Star helped identify what downstream changes would must be done with intact production reporting. The product is also helping us streamline our data cataloguing, where data owners can add field descriptions, tags etc.
A True Gamechanger for Fivetran Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Select Star has been an invaluable tool for our data team here at Fivetran. We have quickly learned what our most popular assets are, enabled our team to find data assets and linage swiftly, and began to decrease tech debt using Select Star.
What do you dislike about the product?
Select Star has been a little difficult for our non-technical users to pick up, but the Select Star has been incredibly helpful with enablement materials and support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As we continue to evolve and update our data assets, Select Star has been invaluable for helping us deprecate assets while ensuring we are actively considering downstream dependencies.
Review of SelectStar
What do you like best about the product?
As a developer, selectstar has been really helpful in understanding what tables and columns people are using. This makes deprecation of columns and tables or migrations run more smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there could be some enhancements on column popularity . Currently, if a table is part of a join, its not included in the popularity. This is misleading because not all tables are part of Select * from table queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding who is using what data at the company.
Our analytics data dictionary
What do you like best about the product?
Great to be able to track data lineage. When we have changes pending to our dbt model, one of our standard steps is to check the Select Star lineage to evaluate impact. I use it almost every day to check stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike! A few small things - it can't parse SQL using `exclude` and it doesn't track lineage to Mode definitions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an analyst, Select Star makes it much easier to understand and visualize our data model. The popularity metrics are a great feature - nice to be able to see how many reports or downstream views reference a particular field.
a map for data
What do you like best about the product?
Lineage and connection to Tableau are a gamechanger
What do you dislike about the product?
Some times the queries take too long. It can get slow at times depending on the data you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our data warehouse is way too big for anyone to know entirely. This helps us find fields we didn't know exist, and to put them to use very easily
Better data discovery and Better data governance
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that makes me think positively about Select star is the Search bar. The search bar at the top of the page allows you to search for any data asset, using spaces as delimiters. The search results page includes filters for Asset Types, Tags, Owners, and more, which can be adjusted to display or hide specific items. This is a helpful tool for data professionals looking to quickly and easily find data objects across a range of sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that could be improved is that when organisations turn off data edit on the Select Star, even the Admin and Data manager can not edit it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Select star help us better data discovery and Better data governance. As I mentioned before, Search bar help our organisation do better data discovery. If we are talking about better data governance, Select Star allows companies to assign owners to datasets, helping to ensure data is well-documented and properly maintained. It also helps identify abandoned datasets that may need to be removed or updated.
Easy to use data management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The lineage tool is a selling point, differentiates it from other data management tools
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a bit buggy, but the Select Star team is working with us to make the fixes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cost effective data management tool
