-Azure Analysis Services is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) that provides enterprise-grade data models in the cloud. Use advanced mashup and modeling features to combine data from multiple data sources, define metrics, and secure your data in a single, trusted tabular semantic data model. The data model provides an easier and faster way for users to browse massive amounts of data for ad hoc data analysis.

 Manage your servers and model databases by using [SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms). Connect to your servers in the cloud. Run TMSL scripts right from the XMLA query window, and automate tasks by using TMSL scripts and PowerShell. New features and functionality happen fast - SSMS is updated monthly.
 
+### Open-source tools
+
+Analysis Services has a vibrant community of developers who create tools. Be sure to check out [Tabular Editor](https://tabulareditor.github.io/), an open-source tool for creating, maintaining, and managing tabular models using an intuitive, lightweight editor. [DAX Studio](https://daxstudio.org/), is a great open-source tool for DAX authoring, diagnosis, performance tuning, and analysis.
+
 ### PowerShell
 
 Server resource management tasks like creating server resources, suspending or resuming server operations, or changing the service level (tier) use Azure PowerShell cmdlets. Other tasks for managing databases such as adding or removing role members, processing, or running TMSL scripts use cmdlets in the SqlServer module. To learn more, see [Manage Azure Analysis Services with PowerShell](analysis-services-powershell.md).
