Starburst Enterprise Review

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We originally had our data lake built on a Hive engine. One of the tings we like about Starburst Enterprise is the improvement it provided to our consumers by providing a powerful distributed SQL query engine built on a Trino engine, allowing fast querying across diverse data sources.
We also shifted away from an Enterprise Data Lake secured Privacera Ranger to a Data Mesh architecture governed by AWS Lake Formation. From a business and customer support perspective, Starburst were attentive to our technical/business requirements, feature requests, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
One area of improvement for Starburst is to consider the rollout of GA features after undergoing somewhat further rigorous/comprehensive use case testing. Or alternatively, perhaps be more mindful with the language of GA vs Public Preview vs Private Preview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst is providing our consumers a seamless and easy method to; scalable, high-performing, cross-data source federation solutions for many of their use cases. With our analytics community being empowered to continue developing more efficiently and productively, this overall reduces the time to market business impact

2) High performance: Optimized for fast query execution on large datasets through features like intelligent caching and query optimization.
3) Scalability: Can scale horizontally to handle growing data volumes and concurrent users.

What do you like best about the product?
What I really like about Starburst is how much better it makes managing our scattered data. And we’ve integrated it with S3 and Snowflake to move data in a way that’s not manually moving data. This is incredibly user friendly, and enables us to run SQL queries with minimal hassle which saves us so much time. And just its broad feature set one in particular is that its real time queries ability also keeps our work flows efficient and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Starburst’s biggest drawback, for small teams that are scaling, is the cost. It’s also a little more technical to setup and configure than some teams have readily available expertise for. Some of our projects have slowed down due to these challenges as we become more dependent on IT help. While it’s well integrated it can be more complex from a technical perspective so onboarding new team members can take longer and be more difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Breaking down data silos is one thing I love about Starburst, because we can query multiple sources all in one place, e.g. Google Cloud and on premises databases. We’ve spent tons of time manually merging data and it’s saved us that time. It’s easy to manage the large datasets because of its smooth integration and features like the SQL based system. This has been a game changer to decision making as it helps us make decisions across departments more efficiently, and work quicker on complex analytics.
