- Enabled stakeholder access to data via self-serve, reduced data team BAU burden and allowed us to focus on higher value task- Works well with the Modern Data Stack paradigm- Great in our requirement discovery phase, when we weren't sure what kind of regular dashboards would be needed. Allowed stakeholders/users to do the first level of requirement discovery via their own self-serve, and iterated on that afterwards.

Pros

- Reasonable pricing per-user, good for data democratisation initiatives- Self-serve tooling and data set are more flexible than most competitors, while remaining quite reliable- Very easy to set up and connect to data warehouse, with dbt and git integrations- Team regularly releases new features

Cons

- Access control are less granular than the big enterprise products- Covers the majority of basic data visualisations, but highly customised visualisations are more difficult (via custom Vega viz)

Alternatives Considered

Sisense, Tableau and Microsoft Power BI

Great experience overall. Has helped our business a lot. We thought their customer support would be a problem since they are ona different time zone in Asia, but they have pleasantly surprised us with very in depth and responsive answers.

Pros

Features/functionality.

We've tested about a dozen or so BI softwares until we finally ended up on Holistics. One of the major pros of Holistics is the features/functionality that some of the other companies do not support or they just have it implemented entirely different (in ways that just don't make as much sense). Also, their new data modeling functionality seems far better than the overly complicated data modeling layer at Looker (another company we considered).

Cons

Not a lot of bad things to say, otherwise we wouldn't be subscribed to them.

Alternatives Considered

Looker and Sisense

Reasons for Switching to Holistics

They offered everything the other products offered (combined), and more. And on top of that, at a lower price point.

We were able to acccomplish the following;
1. It's easy to analyse our datasets.
2. We can create any variation of dashboards and implement it for our client usage in seconds.

Pros

Holistics aim to make it easy for semi-tech users to be able to make an analysis on their own without the need for technical assistance. It's really easy to set up and you can get running within minutes after connecting your databases.

Cons

As your databases get more complex and you require some processing before merging the relationships, Holistics might not be the best software. That said, they are probably not designed for this function.

Pros

The products is easy to use. Basically it has a standard query builder, and from the result we can build the visualizatio as we like. And the interesting part, we can build one query and reuse based on filter templates

Cons

I can say the access time, sometimes its depend on the internet access but also when all user access dashboard at the same time we need to wait a bit longer to show the report

Pros

The software simply works as advertised. The price to value ratio for us is also quite high. The speed at which they're able to resolve bugs for us has also been quite impressive.

Cons

We use Bigquery and found that there are some Bigquery specific features which would help us quite a bit which they don't support (Like the preview feature or the query validator)

Awesome experience and great team.

Once more companies learn about Holistics, they will being taking a huge chuck of the share from the big players in the market for sure.

Pros

I love the product. Reports are simple to create. The Metrics over time are a great feature and reduces need for complex date joins. I use scheduled report emails for alerting. Slack integration.

The support is phenomenal-- one of the best support teams I have encountered in dealing with countless software platforms.

Cons

Potentially could get pricey for large orgs who might require over 6000 reports?

A business intelligence solution for all our data needs

Reviewed on 2018/08/09

Pros

Highly useful tool when we need to transform, import, prepare, or load data from our database because it helped us save a lot of time and resources when we no longer needed to code to do this. Setting up automation can be done with great ease, and the user interface is user-friendly with very dynamic features.
Their customer support team is very responsive to all questions and requests, and are highly engaging and professional.

Cons

Currently doesn’t support Python, only SQL. We hope it will at some point in the future though. It is a very promising solution though.

A well-rounded option that's not as hard on your budget

Reviewed on 2022/03/31

Overall, it's been great.

Overall, it's been great.

Pros

Data modeling - Holistics gives you the power of other, more expensive SQL-based modeling tools at a budget-friendly price that scales as your needs grow. In addition, it provides persistence mechanisms to a variety of destinations and integrations with other common data tools such as spreadsheet software. While some of the functionality is a bit limited, it's a great way to start analyzing data across a variety of different sources!

Self-service reporting - once you've built out your analysis-friendly data models, building a variety of reports and dashboard is simple, and with just a bit of training even our non-analyst users are building their own reports in minutes.

Cons

Organization - there's quite a few quirks when it comes to organizing your data models and reports. A couple examples include the inability to rename data models once they've been created and the fact that all reports *must* be associated with a dashboard and can't be shared on multiple dashboards.

Data visualization options aren't the most visually appealing and offer limited ability to customize.

Alternatives Considered

Looker, Metabase, Tableau and Microsoft Power BI

Reasons for Switching to Holistics

More robust data modeling tools.

Overall, Holistics is great for fast-paced teams. It enables us to quickly get and deliver data to consumers without spending extensive amounts of time on development and support of this process.

Pros

Holistics is easy to adopt and use as it is web-based. No client installation, user licenses management, additional dedicated infrastructure requirements or other clutter like that.Data sources are easy to connect, and once connection is set you are ready to create data models and visualization on top of them.Data models are built using SQL which is great for us, as it is commonly used by our development team.Holistics rolls out updates regularly and their support team is responsive and quick.

Cons

Variety of supported visualization options is not super extensive (Holistics plans to add custom built visualization functionality, which should solve this though)

Reviewed on 2022/03/31

Pros

As we use it as a Self Service platform, so the main users are non-technical we needed a tool very easy to use as Holistics is.
Many types of visualizations with powerful features, and in addition very professional looking.
Very good customer support to ask questions when needed. They show you workarounds if needed. They are great.
They are continuously improving the platform and releasing new features, so we know that what we don't have right now will be at some point :)
So, in summary we are super happy to be working with Holistics.

Cons

Low capability of customization. What it has is OK, but It would be perfect to have more freedom.
I also would like to have drill-down feature in charts

Pros

Reports Structure and Data preparation/ import module, doing this it is very handy to create ETLs for different data sources and develop a business intelligence database.

Cons

query editor and fetching its results functionality. Query editor history takes too much time to reload history, Most probable reason in my opinion is, it is fetching past query and past query result for all which is not required at all. the reason i am pointing out this is being a hardcore SQL writer it is taking too long to fetch my query and my query result,
You should only fetch past queries.
