24 New Product Releases

At Astrato we prioritize innovation and forward-thinking, and this ethos is reflected in the upgrades and improvements we continuously make to our software. 

Since January, we have brought you 24 major product releases that add real business value to our solution. This includes significant improvements across the board – from cutting-edge engine updates (see: Astrato’s New Analytics Engine Enables a Self-Service, User-Friendly Experience) to sleek tweaks to the user journey and visual design. These new additions give your team new capabilities and better real-time insights into your business data. 

And that’s just the recent updates – throughout the year, our team has worked hard to bring you exactly what you need from Astrato, and more! Other personal highlights include Astrato’s data source expansion, enabling support for PostgreSQL, BigQuery and Dremio (in addition to SnowFlake and Google Sheets). 

Astrato also now offers passthrough authentication for both Snowflake and Google BigQuery to ensure that users will only see what they need to. Needless to say, it’s been an ambitious year of product releases!
