Feature Comparison Chart: Bamboo List Rollup Web Part vs. Content Query Web Part in SharePoint 2010

Out-of-the-box, SharePoint 2010 provides more data mining features than ever before but, as you can see in the feature comparison chart below, with Bamboo List Rollup Web Part, users can take aggregation of lists beyond the confines of a single site collection, same list/library types, column data types and restrictive scoping options.  Including the ability to perform inline editing, run-time filtering/sorting/grouping and ability to export results to Excel, List Rollup Web Part is your one-stop solution to data mining in SharePoint.
