Not Helpful with Querying
Sherloq is a 3rd party plug-in to Sherloq solely meant for query management, there is no querying, visualization, workflows, or other features.
Limited AI Functionality
Sherloq has limited AI functionality due to being a plug-in, making dev teams more inefficient when querying their data
Lacks Key Features
As a plug-in Sherloq lacks key features needed to create a querying platform with no integrations to productivity tools and a UX that is tied to the DataGrip ecosystem
Galaxy is the best platform for data-centric organizations.
Dedicted Query Client
Galaxy is not a plug-in like Sherloq. It is a dedicated querying platform with all the bells and whistles that a dedicated SQL editor should have.
Query faster with AI
Galaxy's AI allows users to write queries faster and more accurately than ever before.
Don't just share, endorse
Use Galaxy to do more than just organize and share queries; Use galaxy to actually sign off on the correct way to calculate a metric via a query on your team.
