Baptiste Bergelin - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Architect at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Data platform has unified diverse sources for mesh use but has needed query cache tuning
We contact the technical support at least weekly; currently, it's more or less daily because we face performance issues, crashes of queries sometimes, and we also need support for configuration of the query engines and so on. We are using the support extensively, and we are under a Gold support plan. The quality and speed of the support are satisfactory. Sometimes it depends on which support engineer is taking up the case, but very often it's quite responsive, reactive, coherent, and the response is of good quality. I would give the support an eight on a scale from one to ten, with ten being the highest.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
"The primary value I find in Dremio is that this tool is mainly used to query data that are split amongst several sources and to virtualize those sources so that the end user faces it as a single source of truth of data."
"The native error interface has been most valuable."
"We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"Overall, you can rate it as eight out of ten."
"Dremio has positively impacted my organization as nowadays we are connected to multiple databases from multiple environments, multiple APIs, and applications, and Dremio organizes everything in an amazing way for me."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"It's almost similar, yet it's better than Starburst in spinning up or connecting to the new source since it's on SaaS."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

Cons

"Many developers and programmers, when they are starting to work in this specific field or area, are much more used to SQL Server, the Microsoft way of querying, and Dremio has some features that are different when we are talking about the syntax of coding, so I would improve that."
"One area where Dremio can be improved is the lack of tooling or functionalities for importing data in a pipeline way, as it is not an ETL or ELT component."
"The community version lacks information or documentation."
"We had some crash issues concerning part of the engine caused by one query that made the engine crash."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"They need to have multiple connectors."
"Dremio could be improved by making it easier for data cataloging, especially when working with open table formats, as you have to choose a data format and then go into it."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"Customer service is below average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Dremio is less costly competitively to Snowflake or any other tool."
"Right now the cluster costs approximately $200,000 per month and is based on the volume of data we have."
