## Hex Reviews
  ### 1. Extremely user- friendly business intelligence platform

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

The best thing about Hex is its ability to integrate and implement SQL, Python, Jinja, and charts all together in one!! Rather than having to export your data to another visualisation platform which is a lot of hassle.
The customer support is also very prompt and helpful.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

One slight thing is the limitation of chart types like box plots, violin plots etc.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is solving the ease of implementation required. The main benefit is that it saves a lot of time to be able to do everything in just one app.

  ### 2. Best solution for collaborative analytics

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Having used some competitors, I am a big proponent of Hex and find it one of the best enterprise solutions for getting from raw data to shared narrative data viz. Some things I greatly appreciate -
1) The library, component, collection, share features are intuitive and allow for a wide array of collaborators (whether data users or not) to tap into insights quickly. 
2) Freedom to use Python/R packages - if you can install it, you can likely use it (unlike other solutions, which really limit what can be used.
3)  Input/parametizing features are intuitive and quick

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

There are still a number of areas that are in development - 
1)  R notebooks aren't well integrated with native table/chart functions. As someone who prefers R, I've pretty much abandoned using it in favor of python 
2)  The native chart/table functionality is limited: unlike other solutions I've used, you're unable to create table calculations and I've run into situations where a chart was less legible because of limited functionality

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rapidly conducting exploratory analysis. Sharing and collaborating on larger scale reports.

  ### 3. The best python notebook

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Victor U. | Analytics Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I'm thoroughly impressed with Hex's user-friendly design and its readiness for immediate use. I used to have a lot of jupyter notebooks locally, and previously, I found myself constantly bogged down by the need to manage Python environments, versions, and updates. With Hex, these concerns are a thing of the past. Also, managing database connections is always time consuming, but in Hex it's just a one-time setup for all users in your organization! You just start coding, slicing & dicing your data, creating charts, and if that wasn't enough, they also have the AI magic, which is really cool when you find errors, and it's a true collaborative tool. I love it.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

I'd like to see more features to organize notebooks with more identifiers (labels, subprojects, ticket number, etc.). That's the only thing that I'd love to see. Other than that, I'm happy with the tool.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hex helps me sharing projects with my team, and work collaboratively with them. Also, the tool helps me save time when starting these projects, since everything there works in a seamless way. Sharing by itself is not very important, it helps me solve and discuss any business topic with data users and other engineering teams.

  ### 4. Hex is an amazing tool, and it will be even better in the future

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Political Organization | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex makes it very easy to switch between SQL/Python with minimal code

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Still a work in progress-- but I think we could do with more/more flexible graphs, and allowing full use of jinja would be great

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

How to make pretty reports, how to conduct analyses, how to upload dataframes of scored tables from python models into big query

  ### 5. A compelling and versatile alternative to Jupyter notebooks that makes it easy to deliver data

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Seamless blend of Python and SQL for maximum flexibility in data pulls and visualization; strong native filtering/pivoting/mapping/transformation tools that reduce code workload; ease of collaboration with colleagues; genuinely helpful AI integration

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Lack of ability to reliably join external data sources to dataframes internal to notebooks; external apps fail rather easily, which requires end user education to avoid; despite recent progress, mixed ability to intake app user-uploaded files

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Data analysis and delivery through traditional Jupyter notebooks is hard to set up and share. Hex is a Google Docs for data analysis, allowing me to use whichever language I'm most comfortable with to pull data, get input from my colleagues on my code, and create end user-facing apps for my customers to visualize and interpret it. What used to be hunting for example SQL language to help me write my queries and emailing CSVs has been replaced with Hex, and it's been tremendous for my productivity.

  ### 6. Awesome tool but lacking in documentation and debugging help

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Compared to the current data visualization software we use, Hex is much faster to implement and update. Also love the integrations for alerting.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Debugging queries is a nightmare in Hex and the "AI fix with magic" tool is garbage. If I can't get a query to run for anything but the simplest error, I have to figure it out somewhere else (snowflake for example) and only put it in Hex once I know it runs. Documantation on functions and uses is lacking as well.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Decreasing the time to generate meaningful visuals to help make business decisions.

  ### 7. Hex has transformed workflows on my team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

- Hex has become a powerful and easy to use dashboarding tool (quick to build, easy to iterate)
- Has transformed how we do analysis, since SQL, transformation, visualization, etc are all in one place
- We've built simple operational tools that has upscaled our effectiveness as an analytics team
- Hex is always iterating and improving

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

- More advanced/visually appealing visualizations are still not built-in

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Hex is becoming a dashboard replacement for us
- Python-based analysis is made easy with Hex magic
- Operational workflows are easy to build

  ### 8. Versatile and convenient for exploratory analyses

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Josie A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

This notebook is great for exploratory analysis. What I enjoy the most is that you can seamlessly swtich between SQL and R (or python). It really simplifies sharing the analyses with other colleagues since you don't have to scroll through the whole code making the experience a bit chaotic. Also, it's great for comparing side-by-side plots.
I started working with it a few months ago and I can really see an improvement on how much faster and less buggy it got. The fact that you can pick Vim as editor is super convenient.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Having worked with other notebooks, I really miss being able to switch between python and R in the same notebook.
Killing cells looks a bit buggy and not always works out, forcing me to restart the kernel and having to start from scratch.
It would be great to have Vim macros working.. right now I have to copy things to my Vim editor outside HEX, do my editing and then copy paste things back.
I think the ouline could be a bit better, it feels slightly messy.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main benefit of using notebooks is making analyses easier to share with other colleagues since they don't live locally, depending on my laptop's configuration.

  ### 9. Great product to level up your analysts

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex is a powerful software to provide analysts with the tools they need to excel in their roles. While there are many features that I enjoy, one that stands out is the ability to visualize results and share with non-technical stakeholders rapidly.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

To my knowledge, their is no ability to upgrade the GPU (or TPU) of the virtual environments, which can be a limitation for running more intensive models

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to quickly iterate on analyses and share with non-technical stakeholders!

  ### 10. My go-to tool for analyses

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luis J. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex allows me to do what I used to do in a Colab notebook but in a much simpler and cleaner format. The app layer is great for sharing analyses with non-technical members of the team. The tool is great for productizing python notebooks quickly and cleanly. The input fields allow me to make self-serve tools for the team which is also great.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

There built-in charts are still not very robust but they have been working on making them better. I personally find myself still using plotly for most of my charts.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can quickly build advanced analyses with python and then productize them to share with the team. It bridges the gap between Google Colab and traditional BI tools.

**Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:**

> Thank you for the feedback, Luis! We are continuously investing in our native charts experience, so keep an eye out for improvements! If you have specific asks or feedback, you can always share them with support@hex.tech. 

  ### 11. Best in class support, best data tool I have used

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

- I love how easy it is to use Hex when considering the amount of features that are available. I'm using it every day for work.

- Transforming data using both Python and SQL is really powerful.

- I also love components which let you reuse logic in different notebooks.

- The code editor mimics VS Code's (eg. multi-line editing, carret movement, etc) which is very important to me.

- The Hex team is always available to help and listen to feedback.

If you haven't tried it yet, I encourage you to do so :)

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

- Sometimes the shortcuts are clashing with the ones available natively on Chrome/Brave, which is a little annoying me.

- I also find the UI a little tedious to use sometimes, for example publishing a notebook is a little frustrating every time I need to.

- Making Hex metadata queriable (eg. views) would be very useful

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our goal in the Data team is to help the rest of our teammates make more data-informed decisions.

Hex lets us build analyses and dashboards to surface insights to the rest of the company.

  ### 12. The all-in-one tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Freddie Z. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I have used Tableau, Looker, Mode, BigQuery console, & Hex is the best tool that lets me do it all. I am a heavy user of SQL, & I need all of the flexibility to model my data as I need it. Hex provides me with the tools to take an ad-hoc data request to a fully functional dashboard with detailed information for all stakeholders. Tableau & Looker are great for standard reporting when models are nicely set up & ready to go, but sometimes I need that flexibility to bring in that extra dimension or calculation, & this is where Hex excels in. When I used Mode, the layout was not that great, sometimes I found myself copying the same code into another SQL box to modify my code & had no option for DRY. With Hex, i don't have to repeat my SQL CTEs & can call them at anytime. Also, I have now started taking Python courses to expand my data analysis capabilities. Lastly, I no longer have to share BigQuery SQL script links with my colleagues since I can now share my work with Hex & make it really collaborative.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Not enough out of the box visuals. I want to more visuals types.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hex helps me my team create rapid insights when we need to do research & present findings. Also, it is a great tool to document our work & even use reusable code (components) to be more efficient in our workflows. I no longer have to have a Google Doc to document my work, add a link to a Looker explore analysis, & include a Google sheet link to the data. I can do replace all of these by using a Hex notebook. Working in a start up means moving quickly, & I can achieve that with Hex.

  ### 13. Convenient way to build quick ad hoc visualizations

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Ease of querying snowflake and sending that right into Python dfs that are ready to go for charts. Also that I can re-query them in Snowflake

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

The way cells are run in published dashboards is inconvenient and seemingly inefficient.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating flexible dashboards that aren't as easy to build in Looker. And quickly sharing analyses across an organization in flexible charts.

  ### 14. It's a good to use but it needs to be improved in terms of chart usages, we need more flexibility.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 29, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

It's easy to use most of the libraries together. It's also easy to implement in our warehouse. Customer support is also fine, sometimes, it's difficult to reach out to them if there is an urgent thing. It can be related to timezone issues.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

It generally has a bug, and working on this tool is difficult. While writing a code, sometimes it deletes automatically, and sometimes, it's not refreshed. In general, we have performance issues. As I said before, we need more flexibility in charts, like changing units of values, etc.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using it generally for visualization purposes. We have datasets and need to visualize them in a platform. We're sharing these dashboards within the company.

  ### 15. Easy data science and custom analytics

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Antonio D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I like being able to easily combine data from multiple sources and choose between using python or sql. Additionally easy input integration and charts make this great for setting up fast analytics dashboards

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

The magic feature could be more usefull if it didn't remove your comments and if you could  choose specific lines to add

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allowing easy combination of multiple data sources and writing code that can be quickly implemented into visualizations

  ### 16. One stop shop for data extraction, modeling and reporting

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I can use SQL, Python, R and other data tools in the same notebook. It's easy to use and implement.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Sometimes the notebooks run automatically from the first cell even though I change a later cell. This process is very time consuming. It's not that easy to integrate with other softwares.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Integrating multiple languages together in the same notebook which is making it easy to solve a wider range of use cases at once.

  ### 17. The best everyday notebook tool for analysts, analytics and data engineers, and data scientists

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I've used Hex at several companies and several roles now, and remain a huge fan of what they've built and the directions they're going. They internalized what works well about older notebook technologies, as well as what needed to be upgraded to be a cloud-first, collaboration-first tool. In particular, the fact that it drastically upgrades what an analyst who knows only SQL can do, while also providing a Python engine for data science workflows, means that everybody is working in the same platform, which is game-changing. Additionally, the integration with dbt means that everyone is using the "right" data, which is a huge win. Most recently, the AI integration regularly saves me hours of work.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Hex is adjacent to two other types of tools -- BI tools (think Tableau, Looker, etc.), and internal tools builders (think Retool). The temptation is to use Hex for these things, as you sort of can, but there are big problems. For BI tools, the way filters and visualizations work is just a bit too clunky for anything except the simplest dashboard. And for internal tools, the execution model is just too slow and inflexible. Every time I stray out of Hex's comfort zone -- notebooks -- I get frustrated.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rapid data exploration. PoC's of software features. Supporting documentation for Analytics Engineering workflows. Etc.

  ### 18. Easy and effective tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

App builder is the best part of the hex. I can also code in sql and python in the same notebook. Can create input button and dropdown. Output can be used as a dataframe. Ai assitance is also a big plus. All this with the affordable pricing option.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Need to add more database connection like azure sql, aws rds and need to allocate dedicated Virtual machine to a user so that it can use the compute power of that VM which does not bother the production Notebook runs.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy to write python and sql simantaneously. App builder to build dashboard.

  ### 19. Nice features, overall UE not as good as local Jupyter, using in production is problematic

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Using it for simple scheduled tasks is great, you log in, write a script turn on scheduling and it works and you can easily share it with other team members

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

For reaserch and design I prefer local Jupyter, working on Hex is laggy in general, and on top of that has often hiccups of queing or just freezing, not to mention the fact that at some point of the project/notebook it becomes too long  (with no accurate idea what is too long) and then Hex is completly unusable.
For production, using Hex is definatly possible but keep in mind that there is no way to use the code in any other platform, at least without significant manual refactoring. Also, at one occation Hex had an internal failure/bug that was not reflected in their status page which makes it hard to rely on.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It provides a platform that combines sql and python in a way that is easy to share and schdule

  ### 20. One of my favorite data tools

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

For an analyst like myself, Hex is the best one-stop shop for analysis.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Since Hex is still in the earlier stages as a data tool, the useability in terms of product bugs (speed, jumpiness, etc) is a big pain point.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hex allows members of my analytics team (as well as myself) to effectively run and produce analysis in one place. For instance, we are able to connect directly to our DWH (Redshift) to begin querying data with ease and then organize & explain our analysis in a well organized app for accessibility throughout the company. The ability to switch between different types of data cells (e.g. SQL to Python and vice versa) is a unique feature to Hex that is my favorite; allowing users to swap between coding languages is a big step forward in terms of data analytics since different languages offer different data manipulations. Lastly, the ability to incorporate filters in order to build dynamic, self-serve dashboards is another strongpoint of Hex's since analysts can now focus on scalability and net-new analyses vs. churning out similar analyses one after another.

  ### 21. I love the ability to straddle the fence between a jupyter notebook and BI tool.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taylor W. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

The best is the jupyter notebook style cells...for non-professional data practicioners...very helpful to iterate one at a time

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Honestly, a couple of thoughts:
1. I wish you could expand the cells width in the middle to better fit your screen and see more code in a wide format
2. I wish the chart functionalities were a bit better (i guess i need to get better at making charts in python or something)

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Its allowing me to have a dev scratch pad as i query data to try to figure out where items are, what they are composed of etc.  Very very capable and helpful.

  ### 22. Data pipeline engineering

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Integration with data warehouse/data lake, visualization on data, python to support data processing, all in one

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Maybe some ui/ux, sometimes hard to find func bottom I need

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Magic helps sometimes so I don't need to copy error to ChatGPT for bug fixing

**Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:**

> Hi there! 

Thanks for the feedback. Our Design team is super interested to learn more about where the UI is creating challenges for your workflows. If you'd be open to sharing more with our team, please reach out to design@hex.tech, we'd love to hear from you!

  ### 23. The Most Intuitive Python + SQL Notebook

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex is extremely easy to use and makes coding simple.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

The map feature doesn't support large enough files.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Data manipulation and web app creation.

  ### 24. Best all in one data tool out there!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brayden H. | Product Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Easy to get startesd. Slick user interface. Extremely flexible.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

I wish it had more UI customization when creating public apps

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It gives me a fast way to build and interate data apps that I can then share with others. I have done similar work before using a mix of notebooks, python, and streamlit. Hex makes it so that I can prototype and interate and once I have something to share I can share it in the same interface.

  ### 25. Some conveniences for python/R analytics, may not be the data scientist's best friend

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Ability to access snowflake directly through SQL cells.
Ease of scheduling recurring activities.
Enterprise access to projects.
Easy to get started.
R is supported, even if the capability set is weaker than Python, it's still great to have access to Python and R in the same environment.
Support responds pretty quickly to my inquires.
The autosave makes it easier to rollback to previous edits.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Kernel only exists for 8 hours and the current state can't be saved for easy recovery.
Kernel dumps due to memory restrictions, resulting in suboptimal performance for modeling development with very large data sets.
File storage limits require external integration (like S3).
UI components aren't suited to advanced analytics visualization (e.g., facetting).
Missing really basic things like sorting worksheets by name, or creating folders to organize content.
The git integration will hopefully improve in time, getting this set up and maintaining it required effort.
Documentation is missing 'gotchas' for example, the S3 integrations don't mention limitations or intended use cases.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our organization uses Snowflake, and our team is building advanced analytic engines for the organization to enhance decision-making.

  ### 26. Seamless workflow from query, to visualization, to modeling, to result sharing

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I think the top three thiings I like are the ability to change cell types but still reference the output from any other cell type, the app builder, and the general UX

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

The SQL Fluff formatter fails quite often! This could be user error somehow....but it would be nice to feel confident in the formatters from a UX perspective.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Going from analysis --> visualization with ease. keeping analysis, visualization, modeling to one space.

  ### 27. A great alternative to traditional tools

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark S. | Product and Data Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Functional, adapatable, and intuative to learn.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Not as "easy" as other tools. A little newer and so some bumps along the way.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easily sharing data with out customers.

  ### 28. My go-to tool for data analysis.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex has transformed the way I analyze data. What I love most:

1) Our team can create written analyses where paragraph content references dynamic variables. If I tweak a condition of a report I've previously written — like the date range — I don't have to manually update any of the text. Also, as a result, we never have to ask teammates: "how did you calculate this number?" — instead, you can just look at the lineage of the variable. Overall, a huge time-saver when reports inevitably need to be updated.

2) It's easy to connect and join data from multiple sources, like our data warehouse, a CSV import, or a Google Sheets import.

3) Hex Magic is amaaaaazing. It lets anyone write Python code without needing to memorize the entire syntax.

Aside from the product itself, customer support is great.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Relatively minor things about the UI:

Commenting (e.g., for peer-review) is frustrating. Previously submitted comments disappear when you hit CTRL+Z. Tagging people in a comment is buggy (their name appears somewhere random on your screen). Link-style formatting keeps being applied after you've pasted your link. I wish that there were more formatting options, like block-quotes, so that I could more easily reference people's previous comments.

They recently redesigned their "split screen" view, and it's not as good as it used to be, in my opinion. For example, jumping from the "app" cell to the corresponding "notebook" cell is buggy.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

1) Producing great written data analyses. Easily updating conditions or incorporating feedback from others without re-doing work.

2) Understanding lineage for how calculations are made (in combination with dbt).

3) Joining data sets of different types and formats.

  ### 29. Hex - Best Platform Analytics

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Akshat G. | Data Scientist - Lead Enterprise, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

The best thing about Hex is the flexibility to use SQL and Python within the same notebook. Apart from thsi HEX also provides options to create interesting vizualizations. Option to saving version history and see datsets loaded in the memory are also good options to have.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

HEX contains some bugs which need to be removed. For example, when selecting display for a table, all the other cells start loading. The same happens for charts as well.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HEX caters to all our analytic needs. It is directly integrated with our database and any analysis that we wish to conduct is easily doen on HEX

  ### 30. Great tool for a research/analysis-focused team

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

With a proliferation of BI tools, there appeared a tendency for folks to create lots of ad hoc dashboards to answer analysis questions that both lack context and immediately turn into tech debt. Having a notebook solution that can be a platform for an exploratory analysis or a prototype that can be easily shared with a non-technical stakeholder has been great. The polyglot nature of it is compelling too, as it provides a neat Python entry point by eliminating the need for newbies to fiddle with environment management as it can be the hardest part of getting started.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Hex can get pretty pricey pretty quick. It can also be pretty slow with larger queries/datasets.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making data team more efficient.

  ### 31. Great notebook interface, easy to circulate internal data analysis

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** TZ (Ting Zhe) Y. | Senior Data Scientist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

- Hex's graph-based execution makes it much easier to use as compared to Jupyter notebook
- Being able to manipulate the same dataframe with either Python or SQL makes data analysis fun and seamless
- The ability to produce charts and dashboards with Hex's in-built component makes it fast to turn a data analysis into a report that can be consumed by business stakeholders
- Seamless integration with Snowflake

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Limited customization option for in-built viz. The current viz makes it look like a prototype/MVP report rather than one that is ready to be consumed by business stakeholders or executives.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sharing data analysis and SQL code with data team members or business stakeholders

  ### 32. It's good but I need more for what I want to do

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I love that Hex mixes python and SQL. It makes retrieving SQL and manipulating df much easier

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

I may be too used to traditional BI tools, but I'd like to see more visualization options and be able to parameterize more. When costs matter, I need to go the extra mile to make sure Hex doesn't run queries every time the user interacts with the app.
It also gets heavy very quickly on the browser side.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's helpful to manipulate data using python and combine various data sources

  ### 33. Great for fast experiments and checks on data

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oleguer C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 24, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

The seamless integration betwen sql and python at the same place. Great for easy and fast experiments.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

- I find annoying and slow having to manually upgrade the components whenever I want to make a change on them on each script using them. I won't make changes which break old functionallity and I don't want to have different scripts using different versions of the component as it very easily can lead into chaos

- I miss some organization of the scripts. Maybe there is but it wasn't intuitive and now I jjsut have a list of random scripts which I just keep in mind which is which .

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Quick queries with sql combined with deeper python analysis of the data

  ### 34. Wonderful Data Analysis Platform

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex Magic is a life saver. I have used magic AI in times where Im stuck on how to write in python on certain things

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

I wish the app builder was a bit more customizable as far as color, fonts, etc.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The company i work for is moving in a data-centric direction. Hex technologies allows us to provide optimal reporting to stake holders

  ### 35. Level up from Jupyter notebooks

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

It's no longer just for developers! Hex notebooks being hosted in the cloud mean that folks without a Jupyter notebook environment set up can also query data, look at existing dashboards, etc. It's a real level up.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

It's a young team and there are still a few bugs that come up from time to time. The other day, all my dataframes were printing out double, and sometimes cells freeze up. But it's still a 10/10 for how young of a company they are, and these bugs tend to get fixed up pretty fast.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Metrics dashboards and analytics explorations

  ### 36. really helpful alternative to larger delivery tools

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Quickly query, manipulate and visualize data.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Limitations on visualization options and AI features don't seem to be usefull a majority of the time.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A-B testing, quickly setting up dashboards to track results of product changes

  ### 37. Pricing Analyst using Hex to discover insights

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex's interface makes querying from the database quite easy. It has become my standard for querying from the db. Support responds very quickly as well which is helpful.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Some of the visualization capabilities are a bit slow and take time to load. If you're patient it's not a huge issue.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ad-Hoc custom queries that need to be built and a quick visualization made.

  ### 38. Hex is a powerful tool to set up lightweight reporting and operational tooling

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I really like how seamless it is to build tools that require read-only functionality for our operations teams.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

While the BI features have improved at Hex, the filterability of visualizations and processing times make it a hard tool to rely on at times.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have a lot of self-service reports that Hex services for us. The copy to clipboard and export buttons are nice for operators to easy grab data they need to further analyze.

  ### 39. Great product for data analysis and rapid prototyping of data products

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

1. Ability to use SQL and Python together.
2. Ability to use SQL on dataframe. I blame HEX for me forgetting pandas syntax!
3. Ability to easily plot interactive common charts.
4. Users inputs are very powerful addition to make notebooks customizable to end users.
5. Inclusion of common packages are helpful.
6. HEX Magic is really handy to build custom charts.
7. Sharing, commenting and version control are very helpful for collaboration.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

1. Sometimes "silent" updates lead to unexpected behaviors.
2. Sharing is a bit cumbersome.
3. Some buggy behaviors: undo comments can undo changes in notebooks for example

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using a mix of SQL and Python code in the same place is super powerful. Python syntax is not optimal for selecting, joining, filtering and aggregating data.

  ### 40. Love the "magic" feature

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

As someone who knows SQL but does not use it regularly, I love using the "magic" option to write more complex queries and debug my work. It's a great "assist." 

On desktop, the drag and drap functionality and ability to work seamlessly with others on the same notebook, is great.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Hex is not very mobile friendly compared to other BI tools we've used in the past.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A place to write and store queries internally, and develop customer-facing dashboards on the fly.

  ### 41. Great notebook frontend for snowflake

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Hex has great integration with snowflake. The SQL + python notebooks are super easy to use. I love the data and workplace management tools. Collaboration is easy.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

The compute is a bit limited for larger projects. You have to rely on snowpark for big tasks. The integration is easy to use on the hex side but snowflake has weird solutions for ml tasks.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hex is the frontend for our snowflake data. It's an easy tool to write notebooks to interface with our data on snowflake.

**Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:**

> Hi there!

Thanks for sharing your feedback, we're excited that you have been able to use Hex successfully as the front-end for Snowflake. This use-case is super important to us, any chance you'd be open to a chat to discuss where you are having success and/or running into challenges? If so, feel free to shoot us a note at partnerships@hex.tech so we can set something up!

  ### 42. Easy to use reporting tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

The ability to streamline data from different sources, integrate both SQL and Python together, and build user-friendly reporting tools exceeds any tool I have ever used.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Very limited for R users and it doesn't appear there's much of an initiative to improve

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Build scalable reporting that can be collaborated on between users

  ### 43. Fantastic product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

The collaborative element of Hex makes it easy to share and work together on notebooks. I also love the speed at which the product develops, every week there seems to be a new update that improves the experience and capabilities.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

No real downsides to note - there have been bugs or lacking capabilities in the past but whenever raised with support this is either something they are already fixing or they are happy to help.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sharing reports that can contain both regular reporting and the ability to do further analysis, this being collaborative is a great benefit particulary for a smaller team that often have to pick up work when others are away.

  ### 44. Hex is my new favorite tool.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Garrett E. | VP, Director of Data Science, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

It's incredibly easy to use. Whether you're performing EDA or sharing complex ideas with non-technical users, it's the best place to build/deploy/share/repeat. I've fallen head over heels for Hex Magic.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

It's easy to create projects and forget about them :). I'd recommend using tags and categories early on, and finding moments of pause to whittle down code before things get too messy.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We communicate with all sorts of business users. Some are technically savvy... but most are not. Hex allows us to tailor the user experience to the technical maturity of the client / stakeholder to ensure we're speaking the same language. Other editors, notebooks, and IDE's quickly obfuscate our main message by being too intimidating for the average user. Hex is a perfectly agnostic platform.

  ### 45. Just started using it but already unlocks so much more than Mode

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

The notebook first environment makes accessing APIs and incorporating more analysis tools much easier

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

The slack integration is not great - Ideally, have a way to automatically send charts with comments into channels, rather than a PDF of the report

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hex helps us provide data access to our users without high cost. The intuitive platform makes it easier for non-technical folks to surface insights quickly.

  ### 46. Fantastic Software that Combines the SQL and Python Flawlessly

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I use it everyday. It has great visuales, is very intuitive, well presented to stakeholders

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Takes too long to process, the cache sytem isnt the best, giving permisions slows down reporting

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Presenting business problems in an understanble way and easy to read format

  ### 47. Well-built data science and analytics tool to produce shareable insight dashboards from cloud data.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

I like the multi-language support between SQL and python which helps in producing quick and easy insights using SQL from cloud data as well as deeper analysis which require a more complex approach via python.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Although it's easy to share findings with staekholder, colloborating with the rest of the team could be better. An example is the github integration which is not fit for use for a team working on the same report.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We primarily use hex to produce analytics dashboards that require bit more complexity that is not aviaable with with traditionaly BI solutions as they lack python supportl. It also helps in the early discovery stage for ML projects. An example is highlighting issues in our conversion funnel and be able to produce a quick POC for projects.

  ### 48. Hex is intuitive to use, and minimizes infrastructure overhead while making collaboration easier.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

That it has driven collaboration and centralized our notebooks.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

The main downside we run into are instance sizes when working with large datasets. I expect we haven't explored using server side compute on snowflake enough.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Analysis and modeling of specific investments and geospatial analysis and modeling.

  ### 49. Functional with a slight learning curve

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2023

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Its flexibility & modularity. Its easy to use once you've familarized yourself with the tool. Very easy to integrate with Snowflake and runs very fast once its optimized. I like that it has many features from Databricks that I'm used to using and the ability to switch between SQL and Python.

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

Some features are still not very clear and not enough tech documentation on the internet to help with questions. Setting up a scheduled run took a lot of time the first time around.

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Economical option and easy to use for a first time user

  ### 50. Good way to use python, sql and visualisation in one place

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2024

**What do you like best about Hex?**

Best is the user-interactive design and flexibility to use sql, python, jinja and visualisation at one place

**What do you dislike about Hex?**

It is sometimes too confusing, specially with the visualisation charts. There's not much flexibility with visualisation

**What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

One stop solution for all technologies
