Overall Comment:"A very robust tool that serves most of our use-cases, the only complaint being related to how some of our third-party vendors have technical difficulties sharing their data sources and projects with us with the intent to integrate them to our data lake/warehouse. We faced both issues with permissions and intra-region availability, delaying the process of making the datasets available to our users."
