What do you like best about the product?

I think the most useful function of Starburst is its capacity to query several sources at once. What makes it stand out is that it excels particularly well with big data, which eventually allows for quicker processing. How it connects to other applications such as Tableau for dashboards and Apache Kafka for real time data feeding improves our total effectiveness. I have found this unified approach to data management as a marked improvement in our analytical functions.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main downside is that Starburst may become resource intensive, which results in some implications for performance with very large data sets. This can hamper our analysis and the overall productivity of the workflow. Furthermore, system setup and configuration is not very intuitive and this has made initial training time long for new users. Sometimes these issues have led to a decline in our productivity and more effort was needed to handle them.

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

Starburst eliminates the challenge of dealing with an array of data sources and querying through unified software. This has helped us in analyzing our data in a faster way as we can now integrate datasets from different systems into one easily. In terms of benefits the unified approach has to offer, we have noted that it has enhanced our efficiency as more insights can be produced and more decisions made within less time. All in all, it has helped in improving the capacity to meet quick business needs and opportunities.
