In addition, Galaxy offers proprietary features such as fully managed connectors, global search, schema discovery, monitoring and metrics, and data sharing with data products that allow your data teams to focus on generating unique insights from your data - not managing and building analytics infrastructure.

    Reliable way to retrieve and work with data efficiently

    Reviewed on Apr 04, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Probably the biggest standout from Starburst is that it decreases our dependency on operator data retrieval. We no longer have to extract and put things together from separate locations because it is accessible in a structured format. It has substantially reduced redundant work and made sure that our team dedicates its time to meaningful analysis rather than an excess on data preparation. This has helped us structure our decision making a lot more and has made it more efficient.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Starburst is powerful, but some advanced query functions are as complex as you would expect for something that involves moving notoriously complex data. Not all team memebrs are comfortable with some features sometimes which sometimes causes to hindrance as we wait for someone who is more experienced. The documentation could also be clearer, most especially when trying to identify a particular scenario. Because of this lack of clarity, some processes have been slower than they should be.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Starburst has saved a huge amount of time that we used to spend performing data preparation. This means we’re duplexing our limited time concentrating more on applying insights rather than piecing together information from a number of sources. It has proved a great advantage when working on cross functional projects as everyone has the same copy of the information to be able to work on. It has allowed us to work better with less of the usual bottlenecks.

    Our productivity was substantially improved by the implementation of unified data queries.

    What do you like best about the product?
    My favourite Starburst feature is its multi-source querying. It excels at huge data, which speeds up processing. Its integration with Tableau for dashboards and Apache Kafka for real-time data feeding boosts our efficiency. This unified data management solution has greatly improved our analytical operations.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Starburst's biggest drawback is resource consumption, which might affect performance with huge data sets. Our analysis and workflow productivity may suffer. System setup and settings are not straightforward, therefore new users need a long initial training period. Sometimes these challenges slowed our work and required extra effort to resolve.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Starburst makes querying several data sources through unified software easy. This has made data analysis faster by allowing us to quickly connect datasets from diverse platforms. We have found that the unified approach has increased our efficiency by allowing us to produce more insights and make more decisions faster. It has improved the ability to meet immediate company demands and possibilities.

    Our team doesn't panic before data analysis anymore

    Reviewed on Mar 14, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    One of the highlights of the Starburst architecture is its data lakehouse architecture. This enables us to query data between different formats and locations without any issues. This has been a lifesaver for our data analysts so that they can have faster access to and analysis of data. The cost based optimization feature is also good since it helps us manage and optimize query costs. Moreover, it is easy to integrate with different data sources for the purpose of data consolidation from different platforms, offering a single view.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Setting up Starburst is a bit challenging, especially for those who are new to data lakehouse concepts. Although the documentation is comprehensive, the huge beginner friendliness. In addition, it may take a while to learn the curve of optimizing queries, and you can certainly need some trial and error to achieve the best performance.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Starburst provides the solution to siloed data and slow query. Our data had been scattered across different platforms beforehand, and was not easy to get a holistic view of before using it. With Starburst, we can now query many formats and locations, offering a single, full view. This has greatly contributed to having better data analysis and making decisions. To give an example, previously, with hours, we used to run complex queries across different data sources. But now in minutes, we can run such queries.

    Our team's stress levels have dropped since we started using Starburst

    Reviewed on Mar 13, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Starburst’s query engine is very powerful. This allows me to do such complex queries on mutiply data sources without lifting a finger. This is a game changer for my work with my data analysis tasks. It is impressive that the software handles large datasets efficiently. For my work, I can process and analyze lots of data but will never get a lag. Furthermore, the user friendly interface of the website makes it easy for the user to navigate and use even if one is not so tech savvy. Top notch with regards to integration capabilities as well.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Starburst can handle robustly, but for beginners, it is steep learning curve. On this matter, the documentation is very complete, but for new users it can be quite overwhelming. It is also a bit confusing in pricing structure as different tiers come with different access to the features. A standard price model would be really good. Finally, the customer service is too slow to respond. Sometimes I had to wait for a longer time than I was expecting to receive help.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It was a difficult, time consuming and frustrating process to analyze large datasets before the advent of Starburst. To achieve this, I had to use a lot of tools and manual processes, that were slow and error prone. However, with Starburst, I can run complex queries and analyze data from other sources in the same place. It has made a huge difference to process my work. To give an example, before I used to export data from various sources and later, for analysis, I had to manually combine them.

    What do you like best about the product?
    Great help, answers all questions, and responds quickly to first requests. Great product that meets practically all of our demands. Delivery was of good quality and extremely accurate. It needs to improve in a few areas, but nothing that discredits or leaves much to be desired.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    We sometimes experienced delays in the ticket loop. Should make some aspects toggleable to increase flexibility. FTE, multi-tenant, and displaying query history on the console with statistics would be ideal.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    When we made starburst available to all corporate members, it transformed the way they saw data. We no longer have delays in delivering information because Trino can connect to numerous databases/datastores by design.
