The 10 Coolest Business Analytics Tools Of 2022

Rick Whiting

Businesses are seeking more efficient ways to analyze and leverage data for competitive advantage. Here are 10 of the coolest business analytics tools that can help.

Starburst Galaxy

In November Starburst expanded the capabilities of its cloud-based Starburst Galaxy massively parallel processing query engine. The fast-growing Galaxy, which debuted in 2021, can interactively query multiple data sources (including Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage and Google Cloud Storage) with a single SQL query. Galaxy has also become a popular tool for carrying out data analysis tasks on data lakes or data lakehouse systems.

Topping the list of enhancements, now in public preview, are a number of additions to the foundational Data Products features in Galaxy including new data and schema discovery and data privilege capabilities, which Starburst said simplify and streamline traditional extract, transform and load processes for data curation.

A new catalog explorer feature enables users to search and understand what data they have, where it resides and where it came from. And the new granular access control functionality allows data administrators to see and understand who has access to what data and how the data is being used.
