Mode Overview
What is Mode?
Mode is a cloud-based software that helps enterprises leverage business intelligence (BI) tools to extract data from multiple sources and process and analyze it for reporting purposes. Administrators can use the dashboard to apply custom formulas across query results, configure staff access permissions, and visualize collected data in the form of charts or pivot tables.
Mode provides a built-in data engine, Helix, which enables businesses to use an SQL editor, drag-and-drop charts, and Python and R notebooks to build custom visualizations. Developers can embed white-label analytics into applications and define parameters for managing database loads. It also lets users access previous versions of queries, automatically update generated reports, and share them with colleagues through Slack or email.
Mode offers an API, which allows enterprises to integrate the platform with several data warehouses and third-party applications such as Amazon Athena, Databricks, Impala, MemSQL, Fivetran, Permutive, Oracle, ETLeap, XPlenty, and more. The software is designed for businesses in the finance, healthcare, food, media, and retail industries.

Great tool for daily data analysis
It is a great place to start for your data analysis requirements
Mode is a powerful tool for your business
10/10 we couldn't have run our business without it. All of our production reports and alerting happen through Mode and it hasn't ever let us down. Mode works great with other tools in its space and fits nicely in to the modern data stack. Two thumbs way up from our team.
Good for operative reporting but not as well as bi tool.
Small companies without any reporting tool is good to start.
Solves the problems we need it to
Mode clearly cares about the success of their users with their product and it’s shown in the features of the offer and the support that they have. Mode has helped us eliminate the need for a two or three step business process by allowing us to set up SWL reporting for any college to run, as required. This product is worth exploring if you have a team that needs data to be run re time or on a scheduled basis in order to provide insights that will help them with their day-to-day activities.
Reporting that is real time or on a scheduled basis in order to provide insights has been helpful in streamlining day-to-day activities that are data dependent.
Excellent Query Tool / Embedded BI
We needed a centralized query tool, as well as a tool that provides BI capabilities. Mode provides both.

Great tool for daily data analysis
Pros
I like that in a single place I would be able to query data from multiple data sources, visualize them through charts/tables and if needed create python notebooks for further analysis. Also, the ability to share your work and rerun your work by setting schedules is amazing.
Cons
Inability to visualize map data. Not exactly clear on how to custom aggregate data on the Pivot table.

Pros
- You can query database tables directly using SQL
- The visualizations are easy to set up and beautiful
- you can literally style ANYTHING on your report using CSS, Javascript, and HTML
- the Python notebook is powerful and easy to use, you can use Plotly along with a whole bunch of other great libraries for working with data.
- There is a Mode API so you can use report results in tools like zapier to help build alerting around your business metrics
- flexable parameterization for reports
Cons
This is minor, but the UI can get the tiniest bit glitchy, on occasion. That said I've seen the Mode team address lots of the issues over the years.
Good for operative reporting but not as well as bi tool.
Small companies without any reporting tool is good to start.
Pros
Easy to use with technical background. Easy to run a queries analyze the results and built interesting charts to do some exploratory data analysis or follow some KPIs. Also is good subscription by email (or other methods) and great to use python to create some sophisticated analysis.
Cons
It's not easy to use for final user without SQL background. If you are looking for operative reporting or EDA is a good solution but if your final users don't know SQL and wats to do some analysis with data like: drag a drop dimensions measures from data mart and build their own analysis, use "drill down", use some sophisticated filters (or/and) or analysis to compare two sets of data,... it has a great way to go.

Reporting that is real time or on a scheduled basis in order to provide insights has been helpful in streamlining day-to-day activities that are data dependent.
Pros
The thing that we liked most is that any employee who is familiar with SQL could set up reporting that can be run by all of our staff (technical or otherwise) to solve problems and avoid directly contacting developers when common data issues come up. For example, when our clients call and ask a common question, the team can immediately run a Mode report and provide the answer in real time, leading to a simple business process and effective solution for the client.
Cons
Certain SQL functions are not available in Mode. Organizing reports was hard to manage, and we had many legacy reports from past colleagues that had no context unless the user opened the report, which became time consuming.
Excellent Query Tool / Embedded BI
We needed a centralized query tool, as well as a tool that provides BI capabilities. Mode provides both.
Pros
Security First - It's clear to us that security a primary consideration for all features they roll out
High Customizability - we are able to skin our reports as we'd like
Great Integrations - we post reports to Slack, via API, etc.
Usability - it's extremely easy to use
Cons
White-Label Feature doesn't seem to be a priority, as it doesn't get frequent updates
