Reviewer scorecard
“Write analytics once, send to every tool. The destination catalog and identity resolution are genuinely valuable.”
“Built-in vectorizer modules mean less glue code. GraphQL API is intuitive. Self-hosting option is a huge plus.”
“Absurdly expensive at scale. RudderStack is the open-source alternative that does the same job.”
“Open source and self-hostable gives you an exit strategy. The module system is genuinely innovative.”
“Customer data infrastructure is essential but commoditizing. Segment's Twilio integration creates a unique data + communication platform.”
“Multi-modal vectors and generative search point to where databases are heading. Weaviate is building for that future.”
