How does it compare to traditional reporting tools. Lot of modern day BI tools like looker for instance, do have features like this. Where do you position yours company as compared to traditional tools?

The main way that Secoda differs from a traditional reporting tool is that we offer a more complete view into the data knowledge/context of an organization. A traditional reporting tool like Looker does great for reports, but it misses context about how certain models are created, where data is coming from downstream, and more general knowledge that is stored inside of a wiki. Secoda takes all of the context across a data stack and puts it in one central place. So we actually see ourselves as complementary to these reporting tools as we are a layer on top of them.
This is my very naive opinion, having context of the data or report, I would perceive it as nice to have.

I would love to see some case studies or customers who attest that this actually created primary value which is kind of missing. Just an opinion.
