What do you like best about the product?

I really appreciate how Starburst keeps everything very simple to access and analyze data from all the different data sources and it’s all in real time. Integrating with cloud data warehouses like AWS Redshift and Google BigQuery means that we can work faster and can concentrate on figuring out insights rather than connecting. It enhanced our overall data, from the duplication to moving to data, and overall data workflow and productivity.

What do you dislike about the product?

Starburst has great functionality and whilst lots of people find it helpful, it has some performance issues when dealing with very large datasets. And setting everything up was more complex a challenge than anticipated, especially so when I considered integrating all the data sources. Our analysis was slowed down by the fact that at times the software lagged when running complex queries. Also, it can sometimes be difficult to resolve performance issues if not someone with knowledge on the system.

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

Starburst eliminates the problem of scattered data and slow data search over different platforms. Centralized data queries eliminate data transfers or replication and allows by means of it. What that has accomplished is slipped data analysis into our workflows, freeing up more time for us as a team to work on actionable insights. The business has been revolutionized by our ability to easily gain access and analyse data from a multitude of sources and implement a decision.
