"Hex is awesome"
What do you like best about Hex?

It's super quick to get a dashboard up and running. Very flexible as well, I am proficient in both Python and SQL, so I love the fact that I can switch between both easily in one place. The feature to be able to query dataframes, not just data connections is also a game changer.

I love the fact that we can fine tune our conditions for considering data stale, not just for the whole dashboard, but also for each individual cell/data in the dashboard.

Also, re-usable components! So great.

The fair cost is also another huge point in your favor. I appreciate that I feel that our feedback is heard and not just filed in some black box never to be seen again. All in all, just a great experience and Hex is a company that I am proud to support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hex?

Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out the scheduling/caching -- for example, in one of my apps, I can see that the report was run recently but when I re-run it, I get different results than the run that happened only 10 mins ago or whatever.

Sometimes sorting by a specific column breaks the report or adds more rows for some reason. There might be a flaw in my logic, I have not investigated too much but it seems weird that a table would return 50 rows then when sorting by date, the table grows to 100+ rows, even when the table is showing results directly from a SQL cell.

Pushing updates back to DB when using table inputs can be a bit complicated, but I am not sure this can be done easily anyway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game changer for our company, but need some more "boring" features"
What do you like best about Hex?

The notebook-app split is great. As a developer, I like working in the notebook and then being able to drag and drop. Being able to use Python plotting libraries to make plots for dashboards has been a welcome improvement compared to the previous dashboards we've been using.

What do you dislike about Hex?

For developers, Magic has not been useful at all. It is easier and more efficient for me to copy my problem into chatGPT.

That said, I would rather see more basic features get improved on in Hex rather than fixing Magic. This would include:

- Ability to add totals to pivot tables. This one is also a huge downside for our stake holders

- More advanced conditional formatting in tables. I should be able to color a column based on the value in another column. This one is also a huge downside for our stake holders

- Two way sliders, for users to input a maximum and minimum value more straightforwardly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
