So I'll take a layman's view here since I've only cursory experience of the big data tasks that this software seems to made for. Or maybe the pitch is still different and it went over my head.
It loads quick, and works with large data. Crucially, you can view and edit visually, not only programmatically.
Assuming those already working with such data have Excel and Python tools etc., the pitch here is that the $39 license fee saves time or effort. So, is it that the user can spot and correct errors that you couldn't otherwise do with either Excel or with other big data tools? And/or otherwise do the necessary data manipulations?
I came across the phrase 'eyes like a shithouse rat' recently, to describe the people doing final checks at a printing press. I think there's probably plenty of people out there who would pay $39 for eyes like a shithouse rat.
Also the website makes me nostalgic :)
