Mixed Data Sources
Mix different data sources in the same graph! You can specify a data source on a per-query basis. This works for even custom datasources.
Annotations
Annotate graphs with rich events from different data sources. Hover over events shows you the full event metadata and tags.

Ad-hoc filters allow you to create new key/value filters on the fly, which are automatically applied to all queries that use that data source.
The largest unexpected benefit of adapting Grafana, however, is that it empowers so many other teams to create dashboards with the data.
