In addition, among its main features the following are mentioned:
- It has an efficient real-time query engine for very large data flows.
- It comes without a persistence layer.
- It is light, cheap and fast.
- It is Multi-tenant.
- It is connectable to any data source.
- Provides a user interface and a web service.
- Allows you to filter the raw data or add it.
- It can run on Storm or Spark Streaming.
