What do you like best about the product?

When it comes to what I like most about Starburst, I believe that one of the greatest benefits is the ability to run highly complicated queries on many data sources simultaneously, and the fact that it can do it without having to shuffle the information. This makes our analysis work much easier. Integrating with reporting tools like Tableau improves our reporting by adding rich visualization on top of the provided data. The ability to quickly and effectively process complex questions further enhances the value of detailed data analysis.

What do you dislike about the product?

The only issue that may be associated with using Starburst is the relatively high cost structure that may not be sustainable for teams and businesses of a moderate size. Due to this, it becomes quite challenging to justify the cost against the benefits that come with using this device. Additionally, although it is robust in many ways, there is always the issue of slow query speed when dealing with very large datasets. This occasional lag can cause havoc for data analysis and decrease the overall efficiency.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Starburst has revolutionized the manner in which I am able to process data from various sources as an organization. Before, consolidation of data was time consuming but today the queries that would have taken a lot of time can easily be run across different databases. It has enhanced effectiveness and expedited decision making. Another advantage that has emerged from interconnection with BI tools for additional reporting is the enhanced refinement of the strategic plans and analyses of data.
