Overall Satisfaction with Treasure Data

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.
  • Setup cost is lower since the whole system is easy-to-use.
  • Dashboards created using TD are wildly used in the company.
  • It's very time saving to connect Tableau with TD when complex queries are needed for dashboard building.
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.
