Overall Satisfaction with dbt

DBT is essential to our data strategy. We use it on a day-to-day basis in order to transform our data layer to solve & answer key business questions. It allows us to clean & deliver high-quality data to our internal reports & dashboards. The continuous integration feature of DBT also allows us to manage deployments in various environments while still allowing our engineering team to work on separate projects at the same time.

Yes

Did dbt live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of dbt go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy dbt again?

Yes

DBT seems to work well when your data needs arise from your production environment. The IDE allows for integration with a GitHub repository but the current setup makes it a little complicated if you need to develop in other environments for system integration & user acceptance testing. However, the tool does perform its duties well & works with current modern tools such as Snowflake.
