Here’s the difference between Datafold and Starburst. The comparison is based on pricing, deployment, business model, and other important factors.
Datafold offers a cloud-based quality assurance & monitoring solution for analytical data. The solution enables the users to automate the quality assurance of analytical data. It verifies the data to prevent data corruption every time a developer makes a change that impacts the data in production. It also provides integration over PostgreSQL, etc.
For data-driven companies, Starburst offers a full-featured data lake analytics platform, built on open source Trino. Our platform includes the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migrations. We believe the lake should be the center of gravity, but support accessing data outside the lake when needed. With Starburst, teams can access more complete data, lower the cost of infrastructure, use the tools best suited to their specific needs, and avoid vendor lock-in. Trusted by companies like Comcast, Grubhub, and Priceline, Starburst helps companies make better decisions faster on all their data.
