Below are some great features that we use:
1 - Multi-tenant (we can split workloads and costs)
2- Cost per GB ingest is very low compared with other SaaS solutions
3 - Index we can turn on/off index based on users' behavior to make queries faster
4 - Kafka integration is straightforward
5 - Simple and intuitive UI. **What do you dislike about Apache Pinot?** Using on a daily basis, a limitation is that we can't ingest data directly from API. Converting from some complex schemas to Pinot schema takes time. **What problems is Apache Pinot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Apache Pinot bridges the gap between generated and consumed data, where previously it took hours to take seconds. It also resolved cases where the huge amount of data made it impossible to execute queries. ### 2.
