AS
IT Consultant at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Automation and lineage visibility have transformed how our teams schedule and monitor ETL workflows
There are multiple products from Dagster Labs: Dagster Cloud, Dagster Labs, and sometimes it is quite confusing to choose which one for what purposes. I know there are some licensing buckets for small organizations, medium organizations, and bigger organizations, so the modeling and the cost estimation part could be more intuitive, making it easier for beginners to understand how much time and money they would save by onboarding Dagster Labs in their project. I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue. I had to get in a call with Dagster Labs subject matter expert, and we really struggled for two to three weeks because we could not establish the secure connection through that.

BI Analyst DW Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees
Quick to set up, flexible, and stable
The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

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."
"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."
"As a product, it is one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with."
"Dagster Labs has impacted my organization positively by enabling faster project delivery since it has reduced a lot of manual efforts, especially the manual scheduling part."
"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."
"Since automating with Dagster Labs, I save around 90% of manual effort."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."
"It has allowed us to produce consistently created, well-documented, easy to maintain DW solutions for our clients."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"During the POC myself and one WS resource were able to deliver a project in 3 days that had been in development by other resources for 6 months and still hadn't been delivered."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
 

Cons

"One major issue I see with Dagster Labs is with retrying the pipeline; of course, there is a retry of the pipeline available in case it fails, but it starts from the beginning at the first step."
"Additionally, the billing for Dagster Labs Cloud Plus is somewhat restrictive regarding the number of seats, which often pushes users towards the enterprise plan."
"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."
"I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes."
"As with any product, there are things that can be improved, but most are fairly minor, including things like greater flexibility in ordering job tasks."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"There are some newer features that haven't been included in the training materials yet so they're a little outdated (although the help documentation is very good)."
"Customization could be better. When you need to modify or write some custom code, it can get a little messy."
