Reliable performance for large-scale data management
Reviewed on Nov 14, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Starburst is its awesomeness at querying data from multiple sources without having to move or transform data into a central repository. This saves us huge amounts of time and resources. It works with platforms like Tableau and Apache Kafka thus making our data visualization and real time analysis. We have been able to quick query large datasets with its efficient distributed query engine, increasing our team’s productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
A disadvantage of Starburst is that execution often requires resources in some cases it affects the general performance of the system particularly when retrieving data on large scale. This has caused some delay at times that hampers quick analysis primarily during high traffic usage occasions. Also, to set it up and fine tune it for sophisticated searches needed some real heavy work and knowledge, which could sometimes be a problem for teams without applied data scientists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst solves the problem of stored data being in silos by making available to us the ability to access and query information within different data sources without doing complex ETL. They’ve certainly greatly benefitted our workflow by offering fast and unified insights, and thus faster data driven decisions. It has given our teams the ability to work more effectively, minimises reliance on centrally maintained data warehouses and shortened our reporting time, reducing our overall operational efficiency.

Powerful data querying across multiple platforms
Reviewed on Nov 11, 2024

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.

Really powerful analytics for large datasets
Reviewed on Nov 07, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that stands out about Starburst for me is how it enables querying of large datasets across all platforms, with no need for data movement. This makes analytics on distributed data sources so much quicker. I find it very convenient that is connects seamlessly to our data warehouses, and allows to extract data from different systems to analyse. The ability to work with queries of any complexity has made it a core tool for our analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my view, Starburst has a major drawback - it is complicated when you are first launching it. The adoption of the architecture can be challenging, especially for organizations’ whose teams are not conversant with distributed data systems. Furthermore, it gives relatively slow results if many users simultaneously perform computations, and we have experienced lateness in the processing of numerous important inquiries. This has also hindered decision making in some ways over the years particularly when the organisation is trying to adopt a new data source urgently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary pain Starburst helps to address is the existence of data distributed across different platforms which must first be joined to perform analyses on. The greatest improvement we achieve with Starburst is in query flexibility, which eliminates the need to perform several requests to multiple systems at once, thereby reducing infrastructure costs. To relate the improvements in the decision making process and how it has supported team work through the simplification of access to information and increment in the precision in our analytical work.

Great reliable solution for handling complex data queries
Reviewed on Oct 08, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
For me, what makes Starburst unique is that it runs large analytical queries from multiple data platforms with no performance penalty. It is relatively easy to integrate work with other programs, such as Power BI and Tableau, and that saves time on implementation of tools. Consequently, due to the numerous features that make it easy to use, we do not have to necessarily use other tools frequently in my line of work to realize how much it improves our data processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that at times Starburst is costly and this may be problematic for a small team or business. The software is capable of producing simple and effectively outstanding features with no additional cost, but this utility can be difficult to market when you are not operating on a large scale. This changed our budget, and we had to wonder if we could still use it as a long term solution. On the plus side it has loads of features for the price, but which makes it unsuitable for smaller applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst solves the problem of having to work with many data sources individually yet interrupts all this with the power of all in one without having to integrate them manually. It helps to simplify our work and makes the analysis faster. It has improved productivity because we do not spend time transferring between applications, and our work partners can quickly obtain important information and make more precise business decisions.

Efficient solution for data queries across multiple sources

Review provided by G2
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.
