AWS SaaS Boost provides us with effective visualization capabilities of data. It also enables us integrate with a number of software but with some limitations. It has wonderful data merging capabilities .Boost's code is customizable enabling us modify it to meet our environmental requirements when needed. To use it well, one has to have high coding skills and should be familiar with AWS entanglements.
