Treasure Data (TD) was used as a Customer Data platform in order to improve the quality of marketing having a single view of the customers. It was used across all the world units but mostly by marketing areas. It was used in order to unify the data about the customers that are stored across several (too many) databases.
  • The first and most important feature is that it is completely out of the box. You contract Treasure Data and the day after you are able to ingest data, manage it, segment the audiences and then export it.
  • The power of calculation. Even having billions of records across hundreds of databases, we never wonder about the power of Treasure Data to ingest and manage it.
  • The customization of scripts. It is really easy and intuitive to write script inside the platform and even workflows (series of customizable on the fly queries).
  • The chat support, available 24/7, is a really nice option for a global company!
  • Some features, important for our business use cases, were in development such as writing scripts (other than presto/hive).
  • There was no SFTP for data ingestion provided out of the box, this could be nice-to-have.
Treasure Data is really well designed for data management. It is a high-quality data lake, but even more than that there are many features developed specifically for real-life issues that most data engineers are used to encountering and can be hard to solve. For instance, the management of the jobs is really easy to handle and understand at first sight. Also, the parametrization in workflows made the deployment of the tool in all zones of the world as easy as a copy/paste. It would have taken weeks to adapt the workflow to the specificity of each country otherwise (zip code, phone numbers, SSN equivalent, etc.)
On the other hand, the creation of not-available connectors (not that many, but existing) inside the platform may be improved. It is now configurable only in CLI.

It is used by BI department to fill the gap between transactional database and data warehouse.
  • API connection for multi sources are made very user friendly
  • Workflow option makes it easy to manage day to day manual activities
  • Easy to join multiple datasources in one code
  • User access can be more layered
  • Some of the programming language functionality are not available which makes it hard for developers to find work arounds.
Bringing Google Analytics data via API into the environment was very helpful as we were able to utilized GA attributes with our internal KPIs.

We use Treasure Data to collect and transform data from multiple sources for the purpose of product analytics.
  • Great library of connectors
  • Workflow engine is simple, but in a good way
  • Presto query performance is very good
  • Support is very good, especially with live chat
  • Presto support is missing key types making it surprisingly verbose to do this as you need to cast things back and forth
  • Lack of support for deploying our own connectors
  • Cannot write Ruby or Python code in workflows
If you are a mid-size company with disparate data sources and you want to build a data lake and/or data warehouse, Treasure Data may be a good fit. If you want to syndicate data to other data sources, when supported by Treasure Data, beyond a data warehouse, such as to Salesforce or Amplitude, Treasure Data is also a great fit.

For most of your data collection and analytical needs, Treasure Data is a great stack.

If you have very complex privacy requirements, esoteric data stores or have a capable and unconstrained infrastructure team, a better path may be to build instead of buy in this space.

Treasure Data is used by the Data and Analytics team to act as the basis for our entire data infrastructure.

Treasure Data makes the process of ingesting, organising, processing and then outputting data extremely easy, centralised and reliable. It allows our small data team to focus on the outcomes that the data supports, the use-cases, instead of dev-ops.

As such, the data inside of TD is used by everyone in the organisation in some form or another, from making data available to Looker, our BI tool, to pushing audiences out to Advertising Platforms, to generating complicated reporting for specific management stakeholders. The easy of not having to build connectors into services, or a workflow management system is a major benefit to us.
  • Workflow Management -> Easy to integrate saved queries, centralised, good debugging, powerful Directed Acyclic Graph functionality
  • Support -> Absolutely outstanding support, I have never had an issue which has been put in the "too hard, cannot fix, work around" pile.
  • Effective Management of Hadoop Clusters -> Interactive querying of our Hadoop clusters, never having to think about the dev-ops, availability or CPU load of our queries is an incredible force multiplier for us
  • The breadth of connectors to APIs is good, but some of the connectors are at best confusing, and at worst outright hostile to users. Some of the errors and connection settings are incomprehensible.
  • I would like to be able to run simple arbitrary scripts in the workflows, though I understand why this is hard.
  • I would like a breakdown of utilisation by query, to allow me to understand which elements of my workflows are potentially so inefficient as to be causing problems. While TD's compute power is (to me) effectively infinite this isn't a blocking problem. However on the understanding that it actually is finite, this is important. This will get more important the more we set up.
The only scenario where I would not suggest Treasure Data, is either in organisations which are too small to pay the fee and must resort to open source solutions, or organisations so large and sophisticated that limitations around workflows and connectors are more critical than the overwhelming efficiency saving.

TD is good for any team which does not wish to invest significant resources in developing and maintaining their data infrastructure. Even teams with dedicated Data Engineers should benefit from those engineers working on more interesting issues than "keeping the lights on".

Treasure Data is being used across about half of the organization. It gives us the ability to ingest, store and analyze a very large volume of gaming events. It also helps us to get near instantaneous data events from our games. Ability to handle large volume of events is why we went with Treasure Data in the first place.
  • Treasure Data is excellent in integration with various software and services.
  • Implementation of the their SDK is also very easy.
  • Treasure Data SDK works well in our applications and does not crush.
  • Data management is very challenging with Treasure Data (can't delete records, update tables, create indexes, etc.).
  • Analyzing and queries tables with very large number of records is near impossible or takes a very long time.
  • To effectively visualize data we need to first export it to SQL and the run our viz tools due to the reason above.
Treasure Data is well suited for small to medium companies who don't have a very large data sets, and need to be able to integrate with a variety of various software or services. For very big companies with large amounts of data and a decent Data Engineering team, Treasure Data might not the right fit.

We use Treasure Data within our mobile games to track in-app events. The entire company uses the data however the major use is within monetization. Treasure Data’s platform is very much misunderstood. TD is not just a cloud storage or hosted middleware solution, it is an entire information management platform which offers cradle to grave data services from ETL to Stats. TD SDK + Digdag + TD workflow + TD storage + TD Connections + TD machine learning = IT/BI/DA off the shelf
  • It is reliable- uptime is 99.99%
  • Job processing is easy
  • The new workflow tool is outstanding. It allows various data processing options with extensive metadata surrounding the success of the workflow. 100% dynamic including options for parallel processing jobs. One of the best features in my option. And with digdag
  • Easy integration
  • Td needs to focus on increased processing speed. Not by adding more resources but rather indexing partitioning or allowing primary keys outside of time.
  • What Treasure Data offers requires a change of mindset with a focus on the big picture. I believe it is largely misunderstood. More education and really- you need a solution architect to ask how the technology is used and not why.
  • Data mapping from their sdk to Treasure Data should be more flexible.
Treasure Data is meant to be used for large data. If your collecting over 100gb of data daily Treasure Data is your plan form to support. The best scenario is to connect Treasure Data directly to the source of data. Relaying data from source to internal then to Treasure Data is not recommended.

We are e-commerce startup without a data engineer. It's quite hard to find a good one and it also takes time to set up the infrastructure ourselves. However, the urgency of processing data is critical for us. We spend a lot on paid e-marketing and we need a way to measure the ROI daily.

Using Treasure Data, we started fast. We could track all user actions and which paid channel the users come from just by using Treasure Data's JS library. Since Treasure Data also has a connector to Postgres (our transaction DB), Facebook Ads, and Google Ads, data ingestion becomes much easier. Moreover, since Treasure Data already has a cron scheduler, we can easily run the queries (we have over hundreds Treasure Data queries) repetitively. The output is fed to Periscope data to be visualized and accessible across the organization any time. Now, all decision-makers in our company monitor the dashboard and make decisions based on it.

Yet, all that is done only by 2 data analyst and no data engineers.
  • Data engineering as a service. It's like PaaS but for data infrastructure.
  • Rich end-points. Almost all major services are connected to Treasure Data.
  • Easy to use the web UI, yet feature rich.
  • Pricing, a bit too expensive. Also hoping more flexible pricing plans
Treasure Data is well suited if your company wants to move fast (is data-oriented), without having to worry about data infrastructure. How much time and cost would be needed for planning, development, tweaking, and maintenance if you consider implementing it by yourself? Consider the opportunity costs as well.

However, Treasure Data is not really suitable if you do need to build a complex data infrastructure. If your company is familiar - and willing to set up Kafka, Spark, Hadoop, Apache Beam, HBase, Presto, etc., Treasure Data is not suitable for you.

Treasure Data is used by my organization to log lots of data points such as: events, device type, device OS, app version, and many others. Using the results we get from Treasure Data, our product owners are able to see what areas of the game people are using frequently and which areas they are not. Armed with this data we are able to make determinations of what features to include in other titles or what features may need some re-working. From the engineers incorporating Treasure Data into the game code to the Data Analysts decoding the data to the QA team making sure events fire when they are supposed to; Treasure Data is used widely across our game studio.
  • Provides an immense amount of detail into customers and their uses of the application.
  • Verification of the new features added into the products and if customers are using them or not.
  • Provides a great tool for determining which bucket customers fall into while running an A/B Test
  • Amount of time it takes to get data to populate columns after recently adding them to Treasure Data, could definitely be improved upon.
  • A simple quick Query system that can be use by not programmers to quickly confirm data is being retained by Treasure Data.
Treasure Data is very well suited for a high demand data driven market like mobile applications; where trends and markets change constantly. With the data your team would be able to have a great snapshot of where and when people are doing what in your application. The amount of data that can come back can be very overwhelming and too much to sift through, but with fairly easy changes you can remove columns of data and reduce the time it takes to get the data back and read it.

Treasure Data is used by a select analysts and data engineers as the main ETL platform for event based data.

Our company includes two main sets of data, app analytics events logged when users interact with our apps and static data that is more business/inventory/finance focused.

Treasure Data deals with the former (in correlation with the rest of the datasets that we house at our company) to aggregate and transform raw data into actionable usable tables
  • Connecting with other platforms. Love the connectors that TD offers and how easy they are to use
  • Scheduled queries are also very easy to manage and incorporate in workflos
  • TD UDFs are particularly handy and a great way to simplify code
  • Searching for past older jobs can be tedious sometimes. wish there was a more robust ability to search oder queries
Well suited for:
- workflow management
- aggregation an transformation layer

Not well suited for:
- Quick check queries

Treasure Data is used mostly by our analytics team in order to run large queries that would otherwise take a long time to execute. This drives insights into our users and A/B test ideas as well.
  • Query optimization.
  • Information flexibility.
  • Querying language is slightly different than SQL and there are things that you don't have access to.

We use Treasure Data to collect and store information from all departments within the business, including web analytics, marketing spend, email activity, and customer engagement. The data is also used to build reports from board level reporting to day to day actionable reports for marketing, customer services, and product development. It helps us solve a range of data-driven problems across our whole business.
  • Easily stores a large amount of data - meaning you're not put off collecting things that may be useful in the future. We don't have to be conservative with what we store.
  • Connects to multiple data sources - so data generated outside platforms we control - like Facebook, Google Adwords - we can pull key data from these places too.
  • Quick querying - the query writing in Treasure Data is helpful, they are also good UDFs that speed up and simplify queries.
  • We want to see our data, so to visualise it we need to use another tool on top, or export it.
  • At the moment, you can't search saved queries by the tables they use - I think it would be useful.
Treasure Data is suitable for large-scale collection, storage, and analysis of information where users have a reasonable level of technical know how. If you're not capable of learning SQL, it would not be for you.

Mainly storage of web pageview data, which we retrieve, filter and pull back into our own system. It's good, fast and easily queryable. We also use it for logging of application errors within our own dashboard and other interesting events that may occur, such as successful logins, etc. We've been able to query it via the JavaScript SDK for testing, verifying code/tag deployments.
  • JavaScript SDK works very well
  • Ease of creating new data structures easily
  • Ease of user management - setting up specific queries for non-techincal users to access queries of interest.
  • The javascript sdk returns data in jsonlines format when json is chosen, would prefer using actual json
  • https://treasure-data.ideas.aha.io/ideas/SQL-I-107 - my request for a default sql statement when opening a table
  • Speed, speed speed, we have about a 2-3 minute lag time between posting data and seeing it in the dashboard, there would always be room for improvement here
Great for storage of large amounts of data, web traffic etc to be manipulated later - fire and forget scenarios Good for slicing and dicing data, analysis of potential usage of data. Not for fast, dynamic retrieval of information or backing source for an application

It is used as a data warehouse. Raw data containing operative business information is continuously ingested to Treasure Data. Different batch jobs are continuously running to aggregate data based on a different number of dimension to achieve relevant granularities for specific use cases. The data is used across the whole organisation for: reporting to customers, troubleshooting by tech support, analysis and feature design by R&D, etc.
  • Very reliable data ingestion to their warehouse
  • Fast querying capabilities using Presto and Hive
  • Good API for programatic access to the data
  • Adding support for not only batch processing but also streaming data
  • Better grouping and organization of saved queries and jobs
It is very well suited for use cases where the main requirement is to process store data in a scalable warehouse as a service and do batch processing of the data. It is less appropriate if the main business requirement is to be able to process streaming data in real time.

Treasure Data is used for all of our server-side logging. We use it to debug issues that have arisen with our APIs and processes, as well as a way to collect data, which we then build into data pipelines to draw inferences about user behaviors.
  • Scalability - we have so many tables, so much data and it's organized quite well. Easy to pull from various tables.
  • The console is very clear and easy to use - makes onboarding easy, especially so for people that aren't as familiar with hive ql.
  • Could provide a way to easily view or visualize metrics. We currently move data from Treasure Data to looker for this purpose - would be cool if there were business insight tools built in.
  • Would be nice if there was search functionality in the console. Some simple wrappers around queries would be beneficial for operational people to look up the relevant data, rather than them needing to ask engineers to do a data pull for them.
Perfect for application logging - scales really well and easy interface for engineers to use to debug various issues that could arise.

We use Treasure Data across the whole company. For engineers, we use it to store important production logs, like request and response to a third party service. We also use it to store business data so that we can analyze user behavior...etc. Our fraud team and some other teams are also using the business data our engineers stored to generate all kinds of reports.
  • It is easy to quickly check what the columns for a specific table are.
  • It is easy to check all the previous queries I ran earlier so that I don't need to keep a record for myself.
  • It is also easy to check other people's queries and it is easy to share your queries with others. My teammates shared several links like this with me, I found it is super helpful.
  • It is pretty slow to load a database which includes lots of tables.
It is well suited as a place to store really important production log data. It is easy to query. It will make your life easier if you need to debug some production issue. It is well suited as a place to store production business data. It is not wise to rely on a production database to do this. It is easy to store those data into Treasure Data and share with other teams.

We use Treasure Data to ingest multiple data sources and once processed export them to Tableau dashboards.
One of our clients has data in more than 10 places (API, websites, local files), we use Python to gather all these sources and ingest them to Treasure Data. We also use Unity SDK and Unreal SDK to track user behavior in games.

After a processing passes we export the datasets to Tableau.
  • Treasure Data has a lot of connectors that allow for ingesting and exporting data easily.
  • Treasure Data has a Python library to easily interface with TD SQL queries to Pandas DataFrames.
  • Treasure Data has a very powerful workflow tool named DigDag that simplifies the multiple ETL processes we use.
  • The website UI and especially the searching option of some queries should be improved. The user should be able to create labels to group queries.
When working in a diverse data ecosystem where multiple data sources and outputs coexist, Treasure Data is a very good option. If the data pipeline is mainly powered by Python TD can be easily leveraged to move quickly data from one source to another. The web UI can be easily used by SQL newbies but also by experienced Analyst with the workflow and Python options.

We use Treasure Data extensively in the analytics team. As an analyst, I deal with data every day. Running those complex queries consumed a lot of my daily work time. But with Treasure Data's functions and support, I find it easy to run long and complex queries and export my results to any other platform like tableau.

I am particularly impressed with the active online support they provide. Any concerns with the tool and queries are very well addressed and answered.

Shortening the time to market for getting data in the hands of users and easily integrating it into other platforms to centralize this data in a single place was a huge win for us. The ability to then query across data sets from different source systems at a large scale was great. The performance on very large data sets (billions of rows) was pretty good as well.
  • Very easy to get up to speed on the platform, the web interface was simple and easy to use and we were quickly able to leverage our teams existing SQL based skill set without having to know a ton about the underlying HDFS based platform Treasure Data sits on top of.
  • Speed of development was great and built-in connectors for various cloud data sources and destinations were excellent.
  • The ability to write directly to data sets for Tableau Online was a nice feature.
  • The workflow scheduling piece, while very robust was still too code/script heavy for what other integration platforms do easily in a simple UI. The UI will need to improve here to accommodate all the underlying features and functionality that can be implemented via the scripting language.
  • Updating data does not exist as part of the platform features so you just have to know what you want to use the platform for before implementation. This would be a nice feature enhancement.
It is very well suited when you have a need for a simple way to integrate both cloud and on premise software into a central data repository. Do not try to use this as a data warehouse replacement However, it could work nicely as a compliment to any data warehouse considering it's built in snapshot capabilities of all data by default. I was impressed with its "schema-less" design in which changes in upstream systems of source data don't break downstream integrations like many other platforms.

We have a huge amount of data that requires processing, and Treasure Data provides the big data solutions required to handle it all. We have hundreds of terabytes of data that needs aggregation and filtering before it is in a state that can be meaningfully used by our analysts to make business decisions.
  • Handles queries on big data well
  • Easy to use in conjunction with other data warehousing and data processing tools.
  • Web application often not responsive when the database grows to too large a size.
Good if you want to run big hive queries on gigabytes to terabytes of data. Good in conjunction with other data stores and data warehouses.

  • Web based application so any device can access with credentials
  • Keeping records of all queries ran
  • Great customer support
  • Presto syntax takes a little to get used to
  • Some UDF takes time to get used to
  • Smaller queries takes slightly longer than traditional SQL
  • UIUX could improve. Make it easier for users to start new query, find jobs ran, etc.
It's appropriate when processing very large data sets. More than an order of tens of millions of records. Especially complicated operations with many different joins and conditions. It's not appropriate if you want to do table exploration. With small data sets and simple queries, traditional SQL workbench would do the job faster.

Treasure Data (TD) is used across our company. We keep track of KPIs daily or study on analytical thesis using TD.
  • Short running time compared to traditional databases.
  • Better but not too complicated UI.
  • Online chat is extremely helpful. There's always someone who can help improve the efficiency of you query.
  • As an analyst, I don't have a comprehensive understanding of how to maintain and manage the tables. Sometimes not all the data is available in TD and we need to talk to engineers and have them import the tables we need.
  • Syntax is a bit different and some TD specific functions are not very easy to get and learn.
TD can save tons of time due to its efficiency. However, if my colleague is not familiar enough with SQL or may have some hard time adapting to TD languages, I probably won't recommend TD to him/her.

Treasure Data is used at the department level. It allows us to perform analytics on huge amounts of data. We load realtime data as well as very large batch files. It integrates really well with Amazon S3.
  • Treasure Data provides a large portfolio of integration points, very easy to use and manage. Ingestion of data is easy, flexible.
  • Treasure Data has really great support, whenever there is an issue they are quick at responding and fixing the problem, or guiding us to resolve the problems.
  • Scalability is never an issue, ingestion of large amounts of data is so easy.
  • Auditing could be improved. It is critical to know the metadata around the ingestion process.
Treasure Data is well suited for analytics of large amounts of data. Ingesting the data using their workflows is made easy.

Treasure Data is being used as our analytics data layer. Most of our data analytics and reports are drawn from Treasure Data.
  • Executing large queries is relatively quick and scalable
  • Well integrated with other systems
  • Indexing functionality is lacking
  • Having a query plan or more detailed breakdown for queries would be nice
Having Treasure Data as a database for log files or analytics is most likely the best use case. If used as a production level database, the query times may be too slow.
