## Reviews

### "Value for monry Data discovery, great team / cooperation" — 5.0/5

> **Thomas** | *05 May 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The product is very easy to use, and usually self-inituitive. I very much like the lineage depicted on the creation of tables and the connection with Tableau datasources, because any employee (from engineer to C-level exec) can easily trace the path of the information from dashboards to tables and vice versa. I also like very much the discussion feature on the items appearing Select Star.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing specific at the moment, especially since the prodct it self is evolving daily, it would be unfair to mention something on a review while it could evolve/be solved a week after. :)
> 
> Overall, we are very happy with what Select Star offers and continues to offer given its pricing, we consider it a value for maonewy option and since we works closely with the team, we are happy to see our feature requests, being planned.

> **zdenek** | *17 June 2022* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Clear and simple UI.
Minimal effort is needed to set up. 
Quick response for user feedback and continuous improvements.
API access.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of features for data quality metrics
> 
> We need to have one place for our data-related documentation, and tool, which can help users to find information about data sources a Tableau reports related to them.
Select Star helps us to fill this gap. And also due to its automated metadata processing, it saves a lot of time and enables maintain fresh and up-to-date information about data.
