a map for data
What do you like best about the product?
Lineage and connection to Tableau are a gamechanger
What do you dislike about the product?
Some times the queries take too long. It can get slow at times depending on the data you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our data warehouse is way too big for anyone to know entirely. This helps us find fields we didn't know exist, and to put them to use very easily
Better data discovery and Better data governance
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that makes me think positively about Select star is the Search bar. The search bar at the top of the page allows you to search for any data asset, using spaces as delimiters. The search results page includes filters for Asset Types, Tags, Owners, and more, which can be adjusted to display or hide specific items. This is a helpful tool for data professionals looking to quickly and easily find data objects across a range of sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that could be improved is that when organisations turn off data edit on the Select Star, even the Admin and Data manager can not edit it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Select star help us better data discovery and Better data governance. As I mentioned before, Search bar help our organisation do better data discovery. If we are talking about better data governance, Select Star allows companies to assign owners to datasets, helping to ensure data is well-documented and properly maintained. It also helps identify abandoned datasets that may need to be removed or updated.
Easy to use data management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The lineage tool is a selling point, differentiates it from other data management tools
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a bit buggy, but the Select Star team is working with us to make the fixes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cost effective data management tool
Recommend select star for data catalog
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of connectivity to existing BI stack
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not mature enough compared to competitiors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One tool to show complete data lineage for Analysts and documentation of important business and technical concepts, and strategic KPIs. Complete lineage helps to track data flow from source to reporting layer
SelectStar helps our team learn our data model quickly and easily without needing hundreds of docs
What do you like best about the product?
I really love SelectStar's popular joins feature. With many fields named differently and tribal knowledge being a large storage space for the best way to join different tables, it makes it easier for me to figure out how to join two different tables without having to interrupt other folks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could have SelectStar sync in our data from every single data pipeline. It's so helpful, that I'd like it available in even more areas of the business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It requires us to focus less of our time on creating documentation around our data warehouses and data visualization programs and more time actually using the data to solve problems.
great data discoverability tool
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a new hire and user of Select Star. It's enabled me to more quickly onboard and become better familiarized with our data. In my previous org, we had a custom internal tool that served a similar purpose but was way more basic -- just a searchable catalog of tables. Select Star contains that functionality on top of giving insights into data lineages, joins, and usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's slightly buggy and slow here and there but not in a way that significantly detracts from my experience using the product. It would also be awesome if we were able to see table snippets or insights into row coverage / distinct values, like is available in Snowsight.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
enabling me to onboard more quickly and answer my own questions around data lineage
Very happy
What do you like best about the product?
The product is very easy to use, and usually self-inituitive. I very much like the lineage depicted on the creation of tables and the connection with Tableau datasources, because any employee (from engineer to C-level exec) can easily trace the path of the information from dashboards to tables and vice versa.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of features for data quality metrics
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like the discussion feature on the items appearing Select Star.
A must have tool for modern data stack and implementing data governance practises
What do you like best about the product?
Select Star gives the best view of data lineage for all the connected tools.
Another important feature was for documenting the metrics and summary which is very useful if multiple teams are working across the company.
The popularity of tables is a very nice feature to determine the most commonly queried table and most commonly used dashboard.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are no major dislikes that we came while working with Select Star
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Lineage. Select Star helps to unveil the large spaghetti tower of data that we have and helps to understand how the data source and which attribute is affecting the frontend tableau/looker dashboard.
Documentation is another major challenge which can be tackled using Select Star as it has a great feature for auto data cataloguing, and metric documentation.
With these features, 70% of the time can be saved in the identification of problems (if any) and while building new products with data.

Great for deprecation use case & interesting features on documentation

- The column-level lineage and seeing multiple layers of lineage are super helpful for deprecation use cases.
- They're developing features that'll enable great documentation, which we're really excited about.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Not a ton of downsides, I'd say biggest downside is that it's another tool you need to remember to use / pay for.

Very helpful tool for data exploration and discovery
What do you like best about the product?
Selectstar is super user friendly and fast. Easy for me to navigate our and understand our tables.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation can be a bit confusing, but the search bar is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Select star helps me quickly find and understand data tables and columns. This is especially useful when working with unfamiliar data. Understanding data lineage helps me ensure I'm looking at the right information too.
