Outstanding Performance and Savings with Robust Governance
What do you like best about the product?
The query performance, governance features, and cost savings stand out when compared to other solutions such as AWS Athena.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could use a more modern design and enhancements to make it easier to use. Additionally, the existing documentation is too basic for enterprise needs; users would benefit from more advanced, production-level examples instead of just beginner tutorials. Finally, the consumption-based pricing model makes it difficult to predict monthly expenses with accuracy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product offers capabilities in data analytics, cataloguing, and data governance. It provides tools that help manage and organize data efficiently, supporting both analysis and oversight. Overall, it addresses key needs in handling and governing data within an organization.

Streamlined Data Analytics with Excellent Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Starburst gives us more insight about the query execution plan. It's really helpful in understanding how a query is going to execute. It also has lineage and audit features. I find it user-friendly for managing data security with RBAC and based security controls, which are necessary for data governance. Starburst is especially useful for running complex queries, especially when dealing with multiple joins and data source systems. It supports multiple languages, which I find very valuable. Setting up Starburst wasn't complex, and I had good support from the solution architect, which made the process successful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I face challenges with the query editor. Whenever we have a big source code, it's not big enough to troubleshoot and run the query faster compared to a traditional SQL editor. I would definitely give feedback to the internal team to make it more user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst solves data duplication issues, allowing access to any source without copying data for analytics. It's user-friendly for managing data security with RBAC and facilitates complex queries across multiple data sources, supporting multilingual analytics.
Fast Data Queries and Robust Access Controls
What do you like best about the product?

Effortless Data Federation and Granular Governance Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Effortlessly federating data is a standout feature, and the ability to apply data governance with a high level of granularity is impressive. I also appreciate how easy it is to use overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback is the absence of a built-in data processing and orchestration mechanism.

Effortless AI Agent Creation with Robust Features
What do you like best about the product?
While creating AI agents its very easy to use starburst it already has most support and nice number of features. If you want to let AI agents use your data there are built in plugins controlling governance and ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of community support and reliability. Most of the companies prefer to go to Azure and have their own AI solution because main thing is about reliabilty.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating data pipelines and ease of connecting AI agents with organisational data.
Now we can work much more efficiently with data
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst has the speed of serving complex queries. I’ve found that it optimizes query execution whether the data is in multiple systems. And it helped reduce the hassle of asking people for data and querying it manually, which had skewed to a massive part of our time. Having the ability to take complex join queries, without worrying about movement of data has really elevated our workflow to be able to see more analysis instead of thinking about logistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be fair, Starburst is a very full featured product and pretty intuitive but some things are not so intuitive as I’d like them to be so troubleshooting can be more difficult. Moreover, when it comes to distributed query engines, those teams that are new to them will need some time to really get a whole picture of all the choices here offered. Occasionally, on a problem, I get so lost in the docs and have to dig it that we can’t work. This could certainly be made clearer and more accessible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By using Starburst we have removed the problems or fragmented data across many platforms as we can query everything through a single interface. By cutting down on the manual release of data from separate systems, we’ve saved ourselves a lot of time, and workflow has been streamlined with the data made easier to access. It’s also allowed us to work better with data, through more efficient use of data to work faster on the whole company and faster to make decisions on data.
Our team finally gains access to all data in one place
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Starburst is how it manages such complicated data environments. It lets us query data in multiple system data, AWS and google cloud without having to worry about integration issues. It’s also fast, and that worked even with large amounts of data, which is the performance, and the results. Making our data access just much easier and indispensable for our analytics team.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some reason, the initial setup for Starburst is the main downside I’ve found to it. It’s strong, but a lot of configuration is needed when combining with other data sources. Assuring that everything is attached and working in concert can take some time. Furthermore, there are some issues with dealing with bring complex queries, which can cause a performance hiccup when trying to pull all the data from multiple sources at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst has changed the game for us, out of data relevant to us now comes automatically and effortlessly. Instead of dunns between platforms to get to all the information we need we no longer waste time switching between platforms. All that is now accessible in the area of one place, and makes data analysis faster and more efficient. Moreover it’s helped with teamwork and fasten made making decisions suitably.
More than meets the requirement

The pricing is much on the higher side. Plus when it comes to renewal the annual escalation is high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have huge data of user activities playing different types of games on our various versions of app on android, iOs etc. Through distributed processing, Starburst has been able to provide optimal performance even with immensely high data volumes.
Fantastic product from the creators of Trino!
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst was one of the first to offer Fault Tolerant Mode(FTE) with Trino and it enabled us to execute larger queries without any time limit as imposed by other similar query engines like Athena.
Starburst SSO integration and SCIM capabilities along with the IAM integration with AWS was very well implemented. RBAC and ABAC capabilities are also robust.
Starburst support team has also been very responsive so far.

What do you dislike about the product?
Telemetry capabilities are still far from robust. CPU based autoscaling had a lot of issues, but has greatly improved recently. Lack of integration with alerting tools like slack or pagerduty is very limiting and making users to spend time integrating custom plugins. There is also no current feature to warn users if certain queries are blocking the cluster resources or some automatic termination of such queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabling Data Scientists and DataEngineers to run Large analytical workloads and ad-hoc querying.
