dbt is a development environment that speaks the preferred language of data analysts everywhere—SQL. With dbt, analysts take ownership of the entire analytics engineering workflow, from writing data transformation code to deployment and documentation.
The best thing about this tool was how easy it made my job as an analyst much easier than any other tools I've used before or since! It's very intuitive for beginners who have no coding experience at all like myself (I'm not even sure what "code" means). There are some limitations in terms of functionality but they're being fixed quickly so you should be fine with their current version. If there were more options available such as customizing reports then we could do things better ourselves…
Pros
Even those non computer literate individuals may now able create advanced reporting formats effortlessly through simply entering basic numbers into simple excel sheets via only 1 button click
The visual representation of business rules can be helpful at times when working with complex queries or models. I dislike how the application requires an active internet connection in order for it to sync with its database that resides online. It also takes time for your model changes to show up.

Pros
Great system, good customer service
Easy implementation process.
Helpful UI
Visualization makes senseEasy visualization without needing complicated programming knowledge
The ease with which I can write SQL statements for my application without having any knowledge about databases or database concepts! This makes it so much easier when you have new requirements coming up along your software lifecycle as well as in daily work life activities!! There are some cases where things do not get translated correctly (as expected) but this happens rarely compared other languages like java/ruby etc., So far none has been able solve problems by using sql only - hence no…
Pros
Easy to learn
Very intuitive interface that allows one easy understanding even if they don't know DB basics.
The best part about this product is I can do my work without any problem. My team works remotely so our communication was always challenging at times. But with dbt we are able to have all of that in one place and access everything easily.
Sometimes it takes time for new features or updates to get integrated, but thats just because they're really busy. We've also realized how easy it's been to maintain our databases since there's only 1 source of truth. It helps us keep track of all the changes
Pros
