DBT the Design Tool for the Data Engineers
What do you like best about the product?
Ease with which it integrates with Python and Postgres Database.
What do you dislike about the product?
No native connector for Spark Datawarehouse. There is connector to other warehouses like Snowflake/BigQuery/Redshift
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Modeling and Data handling are the 2 key areas that DBT helps to automate. DBT makes it a breeze to move the data between schema and stages programmatically

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up a test on unique row_id and add descriptions of tables or columns.
The "Format" function is super helpful. It makes coding clear to read.
The "Format" function is super helpful. It makes coding clear to read.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I don't find anything I dislike. just a suggestion that adding --full-refresh on quick bottoms (ex: build, run)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
testing unique. running time.
dbt metadata works well with Monte Carlo
What do you like best about the product?
It allows me to add metadata upstream that can be read by downstream applications. I only have to change the metadata in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way we have set up our models, there are many, many different versions of the data through the pipeline. It can be hard to figure out which one is the end user model and therefore needs to have the metadata.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
allows more of the BI team to be involved with the data pipeline
Good product to transform raw data and pipeline it to analytics and business needs
What do you like best about the product?
What I use the most is the documentation feature. It is very robust and complete, which helps me understand where the features I use daily come from and how they were built.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd say there is a learning curve to start using it which could be smoother. Some basic guidelines on the basics would help a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understand how features from the tables are built
I <3 dbt
What do you like best about the product?
The core product has completely changed the way I think about and build data pipelines. It's hard for me to imagine the analytics world without dbt.
What do you dislike about the product?
The metrics layer still need to do some maturing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
dbt helps you convert you raw data into data tables that humans can understand and use.
An Absolute Powerhouse
What do you like best about the product?
There's a lot to like! Especially the ability to: connect dbt with GitHub for version control and documentation, add testing, work on multiple branches at one time, and visualize and manage the relationships between models. We have created documentation that is pulled from the schema files to our BI tool, which is super helpful. Being able to install packages and utilize macros is incredibly powerful as well. I'm also excited about the recent addition of Python - we plan to use it this year. dbt is also surprisingly easy to use; I started using it in my first data job and loved it immediately!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's nothing that I dislike. Jinja has been the most challenging part since it requires thinking differently, but that's just a learning curve and nothing against dbt itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My use case has been breaking down data silos and building data models that generate a combined view. With dbt, we've automated reports that saved teams a ton of time and gave them a unified view of metrics they've never had before! We've also been able to set up customized tests that alert us to problems within the business/our own software.
Makes data transformations easy to maintain
What do you like best about the product?
Maintaining data transformations are easy with SQL- and git-based workflow. Integrates nicely with Big Query.
What do you dislike about the product?
IDE is not perfect but improving. Git support lacks some basic functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining our data pipelines is easier with dbt than other tools or techiques I've tried.
An amazing product that change the way any company handle data
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly develop, test and deploy models at scale has increased our team productivity enormously and lead us to focus more on adding value to the company and less on maintaining ETL's
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love it if the python compatibility became better and faster, it will dramatically change how we build models and I can't wait to see it live. I also think the cloud IDE can be faster
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of unifying and transforming data to better fit the visualization and analysis needs throughout the different teams in the company. We can now focus on adding value and not in maintaining ETL's
DBT is saving our time and money
What do you like best about the product?
I love that we can document destinations and sources and automatically test the sources. We recently tried making dbt package and hopefully will soon bring it to production.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss the option to define loaders the same way we can define exposures. We are using 4 different loaders, and it would be beneficial to document the responsible person and the link to the loader.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DBT is solving the automagical orchestration of our queries, testing, documentation, and much more. And it is built on top of git!! At the same time, the dbt community is fantastic.
dbt is very intuitive to use and works great in our data tool stack
What do you like best about the product?
dbt cloud's structure and the ease of transforming the data without worrying about the warehouse connection. Also being able to see the lineage easily to understand the connections.
What do you dislike about the product?
sql help could be much more improved and also showing when there is a false syntax before having to compile or run the preview because there are many times that you need to go out of the platform just to check sql syntax
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
transformation of that in a structural way where you have control over the lineage greatly and surfacing reliable models that can be exposed to consumers directly
