Enigma Big Data Tool

According to its website, Enigma is a powerful big data tool that can sift through and analyze contents of over 100,000 large public data sets hosted on its site. Enigma allows for searches across data sets such as aircraft ownership, government spending, and patents from various local, state, and federal institutions all on one local interface. You can take advantage of Enigma's processing tools to get quick and easy statistical analysis and filtering on any of its data sets, seamlessly combine several of the data sets together, and export your data into almost any format that you need. Furthermore, Enigma allows its subscribers to have API access and requests for custom data sets.
I tried getting a request for a trial to Enigma in order to get hands-on experience with the software, but it is currently not available even though the company says that they will be launching it shortly. I hope that this tool will be released soon because it seems to be able to allow not only for easier access to lots of public data sets, but also serve as an impressive analytic tool. Further information about requesting trials and company pricing can be found here.
