What do you like best about the product?
What I liked most was being able to transform models, which is easy with DBT because its been extremely good and useful, with understandable documentation, and it speed up development time. The documentation is interactive , managed, and essential. It works well now. I like most of its features.

The only issue I had a while back was that we received an error with no error code, which was difficult to troubleshoot because it wanst very informative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DBT does a great job solving problems in creating collaborative data models, bit data analytics, and data quality, which is beneficial for us, too, because of their ETL tools. Once you understand them, everything works together, making the job easier.
