| - +Very fast, low-friction setup (often under an hour) with minimal ongoing maintenance, allowing data teams to start getting value quickly. Powerful ML-based anomaly detection that automatically learns expected ranges for metrics like row counts, freshness and distributions, reducing the need for manual data quality rules.
