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.

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
Recommend select star for data catalog
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of connectivity to existing BI stack
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not mature enough compared to competitiors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One tool to show complete data lineage for Analysts and documentation of important business and technical concepts, and strategic KPIs. Complete lineage helps to track data flow from source to reporting layer
SelectStar helps our team learn our data model quickly and easily without needing hundreds of docs
What do you like best about the product?
I really love SelectStar's popular joins feature. With many fields named differently and tribal knowledge being a large storage space for the best way to join different tables, it makes it easier for me to figure out how to join two different tables without having to interrupt other folks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could have SelectStar sync in our data from every single data pipeline. It's so helpful, that I'd like it available in even more areas of the business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It requires us to focus less of our time on creating documentation around our data warehouses and data visualization programs and more time actually using the data to solve problems.
great data discoverability tool
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a new hire and user of Select Star. It's enabled me to more quickly onboard and become better familiarized with our data. In my previous org, we had a custom internal tool that served a similar purpose but was way more basic -- just a searchable catalog of tables. Select Star contains that functionality on top of giving insights into data lineages, joins, and usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's slightly buggy and slow here and there but not in a way that significantly detracts from my experience using the product. It would also be awesome if we were able to see table snippets or insights into row coverage / distinct values, like is available in Snowsight.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
enabling me to onboard more quickly and answer my own questions around data lineage
Very happy
What do you like best about the product?
The product is very easy to use, and usually self-inituitive. I very much like the lineage depicted on the creation of tables and the connection with Tableau datasources, because any employee (from engineer to C-level exec) can easily trace the path of the information from dashboards to tables and vice versa.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of features for data quality metrics
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like the discussion feature on the items appearing Select Star.
