As somebody who works on a data exploration platform (Looker <- disclosure), I'd say that far from making us freak out, it makes us super happy (which is why we're so excited to partner with Segment).

I can't tell you how many potential customers are crazily excited about the idea of centralizing the data that all their apps produce into one central warehouse and putting Looker on top of that, but are stymied by the middle step of actually getting the data OUT of the vendors' APIs and IN to their own warehouse. Being able to point them to an off-the-shelf solution for that problem is a big win for us.
