+=== Advantages of EQL
+
+* *EQL lets you express relationships between events.* +
+Many query languages allow you to match only single events. EQL lets you match a
+sequence of events across different event categories and time spans.
+
+* *EQL has a low learning curve.* +
+EQL syntax looks like other query languages. It lets you write and read queries
+intuitively, which makes for quick, iterative searching.
+
+* *We designed EQL for security use cases.* +
+While you can use EQL for any event-based data, we created EQL for threat
+hunting. EQL not only supports indicator of compromise (IOC) searching but
+makes it easy to describe activity that goes beyond IOCs.
