"Easy to edit, easy to search, a bit slow to navigate."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Select Star?

Pros:

- Easy to search: can search by both table and column names. Can view how popular a given column is by popularity. Can see how different tables and variables are connected.

- Easy to edit: users can doubleclick into table and column descriptions to update descriptions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Select Star?

Cons:

- Slow to load and to navigate: when searching for tables and columns, the recommendations take a while to populate. Uncertain if this is due to issues with the backend on our side or with Selectstar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Data Catalogue I've Used!"
5/5
What do you like best about Select Star?

One feature that I love about Select Star is the "Popular Joins" view, which shows you how tables are commonly joined to other tables, in addition to the join keys. Super helpful for understanding how to use the data and minimize errors! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Select Star?

It can sometimes be a bit slow to load when you're searching or navigating between pages, but it doesn't affect the usability at all. It's still pretty performant overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Value for Money Data discovery, great team / cooperation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Select Star?

I very much like the lineage feature that shows the trail of the information among tables on Snowflake and especially the connection with Tableau. This allows from engineers to C-level execs to trace info from dashboards to tables and vice versa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Select Star?

Nothing specific at the moment. Features are being developed on a daily basis and the collaboration with the Select Star team is very close. It would be unfair to write something on a review when it is highly probable to be evolved within the next days literally. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the tool is pretty new, there are some minor bugs but up until now Select Star has been incredibly swift in addressing them and they are actively listening for feedback and implementing changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"functionality is there but UX needs improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Select Star?

Search bar is highly functional, it is well segregated by data source. Placement of assets is well thought out and relationships made between different assets is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Select Star?

The UI/UX still needs a big facelift. There's no data dictionary functionality which is one of our biggest needs. We have to workaround by using their document type page which is pretty much a notion page or Google doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
