Pros

The SaaS version (Galaxy) will eventually be acquired by some bigger company, they've certainly tried to be acquired already.

Cons

The SEP product will eventually die a slow death, an agonizing process that's already started. There's no value over Open Source Trino (read: free). If you think Starburst is faster, then buy more OS Trino nodes. It will be cheaper to buy more OS Trino nodes on a cloud cost basis than buying Starburst software. Although I guess we can't forget to talk about the JDBC connectors which set the world afire at 5K rows per second.
