RDBMSes enable you to create materialized views only for data in the database. Materialize enables you to do this for any streaming data source in your organization, with the ease of writing SQL. This enables you to simply write a SQL statement joining data from Salesforce + SAP + Siebel as soon as the data changes, and store the results as a near real-time up to date database table. It does depend on a lot of underlying plumbing: streaming platform (e.g. kafka), and streaming data sources (e.g., kafka connect + debezium).
