| Disclaimer: I am working on an analytics operating system on top of dbt, and we have overlaps with dbt cloud. I think dbt is a great tool but such a significant price increase at this time of the year + forcing people to upgrade to Enterprise, on a product that is quite feature limited, is quite draconian - reminded me of the 90s IT software selling. I have heard time again from data leaders how the dbt cloud price-value curve is broken - very little product updates & hefty price increases. As y'all have been saying, I think some of the options going forward are: 1. You can cut down your dbt-cloud seats and move people to VSCode (Cost: $100k+/yr) - zero tool cost, but very high time & FTE cost to build and maintain. 2. You accept the price hike and increase your budget (Cost: 100 - 600% up, likely no budget left for 2023) 3. Migrate to alternatives such as paradime.io (up to 70% cheaper) - and you get a fuller platform covering 80% of your daily analytics work + Looker / Tableau integration, Github apps, CI/CD etc. If anyone is interested, I am happy to demo what we've been building. |
