       | A lot of people want a product like this, or at least think they
       | do, and many have also attempted to build parts of this. The
       | issue, of course, with this product is that there is no evidence
       | of a product nor an ability to assess it in abstract of a sales
       | person presumably emailing you.
       | 
       | Questions I think would be important to answer:
       | 
       | - What types of queries are supported?
       | 
       | - Does data size or update frequency have performance
       | implications?
       | 
       | - Is discovery embedded in this product?
       | 
       | - Is it available on-prem or only as an API?
       | 
       | - What are the data security guarantees?
       | 
       | - What workflows are easy to do in the UI?
       | 
       | - Does this support alerting on queries?
       | 
       | I could go on, but I think the point is made. There's a reason a
       | lot of data tooling companies use a freemium model -- users want
       | to feel the system before investing in it, maybe only reaching
       | out when they're ready to load test.

       | Interesting product. I am wondering how does this fit into
       | typical workflows.

       | Sounds interesting, but I was a little annoyed by the
       | "transparent pricing, no need to talk to us" then no pricing and
       | a form to fill in instead.
       | 
       | What sort of pricing is this targeting?
