“Massive complexity for most use cases. Unless you're operating at true scale, simpler alternatives are better.”
“The semantic layer is becoming essential as teams serve data to more applications. Cube leads this emerging category.”
“Purpose-built for the scale that enterprise AI will demand. The CNCF backing adds credibility.”
