Fast, scalable analytics
with Tableau and Starburst

• Streamline access controls in Tableau

Implementing data access controls in Tableau often involves embedding security measures directly into visualizations. This approach becomes particularly challenging when integrating data from multiple sources, as security controls may vary across different systems. Embedding these controls within Tableau itself can lead to increased maintenance efforts and potential inconsistencies.

A more efficient alternative is to centralize data access management through a platform like Starburst. This approach consolidates security policies, significantly reducing maintenance overhead and ensuring uniform access controls across all connected data sources. By centralizing security management, organizations can achieve more consistent and reliable data governance while simplifying the overall administration process.

• Minimize data movement and disruptions to data access

Modern data ecosystems rapidly adapt to meet user demands by integrating new data sources for improved performance and cost efficiency, while phasing out inactive or costly sources. These changes necessitate updates to Tableau visualizations, which can lead to temporary access disruptions and increased storage costs due to multiple data copies.

Starburst simplifies this process by providing a centralized access point for data, offering several key benefits:

– Consistency: Tableau users maintain a single, stable connection for their visualizations.

– Reduced Maintenance: As data migrates, the Starburst connection remains unchanged, minimizing the need for updates.

– Efficiency: Starburst eliminates the need for data duplication by enabling high-performance access to data wherever it is located.

By utilizing Starburst, organizations can ensure seamless access and consistent performance in their evolving data ecosystems.
