Finally querying data from different sources feels effortless

What do you like best about the product?
I like Starburst to be able to let us query data from various sources but we don’t need to bring everything into one central database. It doesn’t matter it is AWS, Snowflake or other data platforms as we can work with data from multiple systems simultaneously. It saves ourselves from the extra steps like data transformation or migration and makes us to focus on what we should and actually need to do. It’s a big time saver and it makes it easier to streamline the processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem with Starburst is permissions and access control across multiple data sources. There’s no central place to manage the permissions of all platforms. And each system has its own security protocols. The simple implication is that there’s a lot of elements we have to log into separately to make the changes that we need to. It’s an extra step that can throw off workflow, and especially when working on several platforms, with different user access needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Starburst, you have solved the problem of accessing and working with data that resides in multiple systems. Until that point we had to merge datasets manually, which was slow and error prone. With Starburst, we have eliminated a lot of time and the potential to slip up by allowing us to query the data that we're getting from AWS, Snowflake, and so forth directly. This efficiency has freed us more time to spend our analysis and decision making.
