Overall Satisfaction with Treasure Data

We leverage Treasure Data for storage of unstructured data at scale. By using a tool which does not enforce a schema to write to, we are able to capture all data of interest. As our storage needs increase exponentially, Treasure Data has the speed to respond to our needs.
  • The Treasure Data team was quick to provision additional infrastructure as needed so we did not experience any downtime when we recently experienced a tremendous amount of growth in our data storage needs.
  • The documentation for implementing API calls is accurate, detailed and intuitive to navigate. This leads to quicker implementation and reduced Q & A sessions as new clients are onboarded.
  • Stickers... They provided us a ton of Treasure Data stickers (and not cheap ones, the nice vinyl ones). Never underestimate the importance of stickers to a developer.
  • I'm personally not a fan of AWS, which is the backend provider of the hardware leveraged. I find it is less consistent in delivering the tier of performance paid for, and this then requires selecting a higher level of package to ensure minimum requirements are met. I would like to see Treasure Data provide the OPTION of choosing Google Compute Engine.
  • It would be a very nice feature to have some business rule filtering applied prior to ingestion of data, with invalid records placed in a type of quarantine storage. Nit picking, I know.
  • It doesn't happen often, but when multiple queries are queued, it would be nice to set a priority level for these requests so our ad-hoc requests do not hold up the regularly scheduled infrastructure requests. Perhaps UI requests should default to a level of priority less than API initiated requests.
  • By choosing to use a service, instead of building and maintaining in-house, our engineers are able to spend more time improving our core products/services.
When massive amounts of unstructured data is needed to be ingested, without the time (or perhaps skill) to setup the infrastructure within the organization, leveraging a turn key solution like Treasure Data is a simple choice. The pricing is excellent as is the level of service and reliability.
