Pipeline monitoring has improved and visual lineage now provides trusted, anomaly-aware data
There are many ways Dagster Labs can be improved. I believe the UI is very slow and it prevents loading state. Regarding needed improvements, I think there should be very good support available for migration if someone is migrating from a legacy system to Dagster Labs. Maybe that support needs to be better in a way that there should be customer service available for it, with more documentation or GitHub documentation that details what you should do and should not do, including do's and don'ts and how it will be beneficial or not beneficial. Something approach may be helpful during migration.

Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax
One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dagster Labs has provided a good sense of the data pipeline I have been using, and I have started to trust it even more because I have full confidence in whether it has been updated correctly and if it has failed."
"As a product, it is one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted our organization by making it much easier to create data pipelines, helping us create new use cases, and allowing us to transform all of the data we have into features, which Dagster Labs has greatly assisted with."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted my organization because whenever there is a change in the data, it becomes easy for me to schedule the job, run the changes, and make changes to be imported to the slowly changing dimension tables."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"The solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"There are many ways Dagster Labs can be improved. I believe the UI is very slow and it prevents loading state."
"Dagster Labs is currently providing a Dagster University course, but those offerings are somewhat high-level."
"Additionally, the billing for Dagster Labs Cloud Plus is somewhat restrictive regarding the number of seats, which often pushes users towards the enterprise plan."
"Something that could improve is writing SQL to integration studio because it is not that straightforward. There should be better integration with other software."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"One area for improvement is the installation process."
"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
