Identifying Products to Integrate with Query

To achieve value from the Query Federated Search Platform you must add an integration -- called a Platform Connector -- into your tenant. When you first log in you will be directed to the Connections page which contains a list of Platform Connectors in various categories. You can onboard various tools ranging from Microsoft Entra ID, Crowdstrike Falcon and WhoISXML as well as more dynamic data platforms such as data lakes built atop Amazon S3 with AWS Glue Data Catalog and Google BigQuery.
