• Integrations: Perform predictive data analysis by integrating Amazon Sagemaker ML-based data models with its supported data sources, such as S3, Athena, Redshift, as well as third party sources that include Salesforce and JIRA, among others. Easily integrates with BI tools such as Domo and Tableau for data querying through an intuitively similar SQL interface. 
• Data Visualization: Create interactive visualizations and reports by choosing from a rich library of graphs, charts and tables. Build dynamic dashboards by interacting with data in real time through drag-and-drop, drill-down and filtering options. 
• Reporting: Its Enterprise edition provides ad-hoc as well as scheduled reporting to share targeted reports on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Subscribe to receive reports via email. Creates a custom snapshot of the report based on individual data permissions. 
• In-Memory Engine: Perform calculations and analyses at the speed of thought by querying through its super-fast parallel in-memory calculation engine, SPICE. Built from the ground up, it prepares data faster by replicating it in memory and updates in real-time as the underlying data changes. 
• Dashboards: Create data dashboards with 28 supported charts, such as filled maps, histograms, funnel charts, stacked area charts, waterfall charts and boxplots, as well as tables and pivot tables. View information based on business context by sorting on fields not shown in the visualization. Provide report readers with on-sheet controls to slice and dice data by filtering on fields. Offers multiple report layout customization options that include adding drop-downs with single-select or multi-select sorting. 
• ML-Based Insight: Get in-depth data insights through its out-of-the-box ML and NLP capabilities. Perform queries on data in seconds in simple language through its natural language attribute, Q. It learns from data patterns to provide accurate predictions based on historical trends. Detect anomalies and variations in data aggregates through scheduled anomaly detection.
