Data Cataloguing, Discoverability and Governance on steroids using Select Star
What do you like best about the product?
Select Star provides a great variety of tools and integrations for Data Discovery and Cataloguing, with a high sophistication level. The main features that I found the most helpful for my everyday work are:
1. The multilevel search on tables, columns, schemas, tags etc, multiple sources (Snowflake, Tableau)
2. The Column level lineage views.
3. The automated integration with Snowflake for documentation purposes.
4. A very simple process for tagging multiple resource objects such as columns, tables, and dashboards.
5. The ability to choose which source object I want to sync with Select Star, and which I don't.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since Select star is a recently established Start-up that is trying to take a share in a very antagonistic market, it's inevitable to have a lot of space for improvement. From my point of view, the section that I would like to invest more in is the APIs. Currently, there is a big variety of functionalities and feature which is exposed from their APIs but I believe it needs a redesign, in terms of API Standards and Authentication and Authorization, in order to be safer and easier for a partner to integrate multiple automated processes with Select Star.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most critical business demand that we are using Select Star for is the centralization and exposure of the Data Documentation. Since Orfium wants to apply Data Mesh principles to their main Products, Data Cataloguing and Documentation were the major requirements for us to succeed in this endeavor.
Furthermore, Select Star has been used for critical components related to Data Governance by applying Business and Technical Ownership to schemas, tables, and columns, as also multi-tagging them with the current statuses and the categories they belong to.

What do you dislike about the product?
It seems to crash a lot, or pages are unavailable/broken due to technical issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We never had a solution for data lineage prior to select star. This solves it very nicely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go through the trial and understand whether it meets the company's needs.
Best Data Catalogue I've Used!
What do you like best about the product?
One feature that I love about Select Star is the "Popular Joins" view, which shows you how tables are commonly joined to other tables, in addition to the join keys. Super helpful for understanding how to use the data and minimize errors!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be a bit slow to load when you're searching or navigating between pages, but it doesn't affect the usability at all. It's still pretty performant overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Select Star is really helpful for allowing us to document our tables, helping people navigate our data model, and tracking lineage to understand how our data flows from one table to another.
A Great Data Catalog for your Modern Data Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Select Star is a great data catalog that helps us discover our most important data. The best parts are the seamless integration with Snowflake (our use case) and the support from Select Star's team. Furthermore, Select Star is a fully interoperable tool, it has an API that anyone can utilize to insert/extract information, and it automatically maps the documentation from the source. Last but not least, Select Star is cheap for what it offers, and the team is always there to help with your specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there isn't anything I dislike. There is a constant development of features that cover more and more needs, but the most important features of a Data Catalog are already there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Select star is our primary data discovery service, and it has enabled us to build a map around our data and their dependencies. It also helps us identify how our datasets are being used and connected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a value-for-money service that will cover your Data Discovery needs.
Value for Money Data discovery, great team / cooperation
What do you like best about the product?
I very much like the lineage feature that shows the trail of the information among tables on Snowflake and especially the connection with Tableau. This allows from engineers to C-level execs to trace info from dashboards to tables and vice versa.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific at the moment. Features are being developed on a daily basis and the collaboration with the Select Star team is very close. It would be unfair to write something on a review when it is highly probable to be evolved within the next days literally. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem solved was the connection between Tableau and Snowflake. The biggest benefit realized is that there is a commonplace to gather documentation for everything in the company where it is easily accessible and discoverable
Nice tool for setting up a data driven culture in your company
What do you like best about the product?
Select Star really helps with the organization and explorability of all types of data in use at rebuy. We are using dbt, Snowflake and Looker and all of them are set up really easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the tool is pretty new, there are some minor bugs but up until now Select Star has been incredibly swift in addressing them and they are actively listening for feedback and implementing changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using select star we had no clarity about which department is responsible for which KPIs, how those KPIs are defined and where reports and insights can be found. Select Star makes setting up a structure like this really easy.
