This tool helps me when I need to visually organize processes, such as when I create internal workflows. It helps explain procedures during training sessions. While not directly focused on security, it's very useful for making information clearer and more objective for communicating with teams.

Very useful reporting tool with good set of features and easy to use interface. Report setup is straightforward and allows for user customizations to graph, charts and table driven data. Lacks the modern feel of the newer BI tools and capibilities to embed reports into your app. Integrates well with SQL server and its features but cannot integrate with cloud based databases.

One of the main features and benefits of Skyvia is it's ability to practically integrate anything, which makes it awesome, but at the same time because it's trying to connect anything to everything it makes it a bit complex to understand and connect different data sets without a lot of studying and researching.
