What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
leveraging federated semantic layer feature, helping business users
Great support and utilities around the powerful Trino engine
What do you like best about the product?
The care Starburst put in the UX clearly shows. Also, their support and knowledge of the engine are great. The updates on the platform are very frequent, and documentiation is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, in particular. We still have to understand if the costs will grow too much, but it doesn't look like it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst is used as the Data Mesh Query Engine in our company. It allows connecting BI tools and notebooks to analytics engines as well as exploring the operational databases thanks to its federated nature. We are also exploring using it for data transformation processes instead of Spark, for some cases.
I am data Engineering Manager and our team heavily used this tool to meet our business needs

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend this tool to other teams and other companies
Starburst review from SOPHiA GENETICS
What do you like best about the product?
Regular business meeting, functionality of the product being able to run data queries against decentralized data centers worldwide, great technical support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing policy defined on the deployed resources instead of Starburst usage only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst Enterprise enables us to query in single queries and very easily our data from multiple data source formats spread worldwide. Starburst includes access control features allowing us to define in detail data access to our users and services. With Starburst we are able to have data governance over our data using their Data Product feature.
Zalando is a very happy customer of Starburst Enterprise for the last 3 years
What do you like best about the product?
We have found that Starburst Enterprise that is built on the open source Trino project is very easy to use and administer. The default setup and the fact that SEP is choosing the right JVM and cluster configuration based on the hardware setup we use automatically makes it very easy to use for our workload and has very high performance. The response times of the support cases are very low and result fast in resolution. For critical issues, we can get support from the Trino contributors
What do you dislike about the product?
release management is lacking. We were hit by some undocumented breaking changes in the Trino open source project and Starburst Enterprise deployment model that affected our timelines in the past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst powers the serving layer of Zalando's data lake on S3. We have more than thousand internal users and 100s of applications using Starburst daily, running 30k+ queries that are processing half a petabyte per day. Starburst is connected to many different BI tools that power dashboards and drive Zalando's business and internal KPIs
Starburst Enterprise deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst improve the response time and incorporated AI/ML capability.
What do you dislike about the product?
My previous comment still stands. In addition, while Starburst has improved response time, certain connectors, like SQL Server, is single-threaded so the performance is lacking in comparison to other connectors that can do parallelization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our big data environment is slow and Hive performance is inadequate. Starburst speeds up the query speed for our customer base (>100 analysts) up to 80% and also allow customers to perform cross-platform queries (Big Data and SQL Server) together without having to copy data.
Data Mesh / Data Virtualization Realized
What do you like best about the product?
Starburst Data Enterprise Trino is a solid solution to enable ad-hoc analytics and cross-platform data join capabilities. It supports both on-premise and the cloud, dozens of connectors, and levels the playing field for folks looking to work with Big Data (without being a Big Data engineer!). It's simple and easy to use, with most folks able to jump right in with high school-level knowledge of ANSI SQL. Performance meets or exceeds most expectations, and we see significant performance gains over technologies like Apache Hive for querying time and efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike here. On a rare occasion, you may run into "bleeding edge" issues and need to wait (usually not too long) for edge cases to be addressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Starburst to make it easier for users to perform cross-platform joins (between data types/technologies), lower the barriers to entry for data exploration, support production-grade ad-hoc analytics, and move in the direction of a data mesh architecture. We have realized benefits in the form of faster processing times, reduced data transfer over the network, and reduced data duplication/storage, resulting in both cost and time savings.
One of the most reliable and convenient analytics engine!
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is that it is fast, reliable and open sourced. Starburst Presto is very good for parallel processing, and maintains performance even when a lot of people are simultaneously using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation can be slightly improved for a new user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us do cutting edge analytics to understand user behavior on our platform, to design tailored experiences for our users.
great features to work with multiple data sources , easy to deploy on AWS / GCP using kubernetes
What do you like best about the product?
starburst presto has very good performance for short running queries ex queries taking 3-5 minutes so for dashboarding this is the go-to choice &
good performance with the delta connector in SEP 370 + compared to the previous versions, Insights Query editor IDE, reduction in query planning time

What do you dislike about the product?
there are some initial hiccups when getting started with a new cloud ex GCP , like applying the license which increases the overall time needed to get started to any developments
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are able to easily run 100000 dashboarding + adhoc queries without scaling up the cluster , by using a combination of new performance feature from latest presto version & caching at bi tool
due to faster runtime presto is the first choice for our end users
