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 ### 2. Dashboarding and correlation between multiple data source made easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The way it can aggregate seemlessly data from different datasources (CSV, Snowflake, ...), super easy to spin a new chart and tweak a few options to get the display I want. I particularely appreciate the fact that now SQL cells can render as charts. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Reusing code and components isn't easy, lot of expecations aren't met such as versionning (pick a version, not migrate to the latest). We can integrate with GitHub but if we go down that path it feels as if we would want a homemade tool and not in Hex. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Low code way of connecting to different data sources Good looking visualization (vs pyplot) with little effort ### 3. My review of Hex **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex produces very pretty dashboards and I hear that presentation mode as well. It's easy to get set up and plugged into my organization's Snowflake account. It's relatively easy to make nice-looking charts, although the number of options is limited. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Things sometimes randomly glitch or can give strange SQL results (e.g. from the automatic typing). Memory errors are encountered far more frequently than with Jupyter notebook. Runtime is heavily impacted by time of day. Can't use local dataframes and Snowflake connections in the same SQL cell. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Dashboarding and analytic story-telling ### 4. HEX is an unmatched tool for leveraging Snowflake in evolving world of Security detection & research **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** HEX enables us to quickly integrate Snowflake, Splunk and Crowdstrike to build a robust and powerful security detection and alerting platform. The python/pandas native approach enables development of complex alerting capabilities while ease of visualizations provides confidence in correctness of the underlying logic. Further we have been able to quickly create investigation applications using HEX app view, that are used by security analysts without programming experience during incident. **What do you dislike about Hex?** HEX would benifit from a deeper integration with Slack and other tools, currently the alerts are limited and required us to write our own small library to for fine-grained alerting. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Syncing information from Splunk, Crowdstrike into Snowflake via scheduled projects. - Complex alerting logic using Python powered by ML - Ability to craft visualizations that give us insight - Lightweight apps that allow security analysts to quickly query identifiers across data sources during incidents ### 5. I'm a Data Engineer who also makes some front end apps using Hex **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Easy to get started, especially for someone like me who mostly works with Python and SQL **What do you dislike about Hex?** Apps can be a bit slow, but that's a very tough problem for Hex to solve Also it would be nice if users with view only access to apps could drop in files, e.g. csv's, and then the app's code could process those user-uploads **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Super easy to quickly prototype and develop apps Very nice and easy connecting to databases, and nice how you can use SQL or pandas on any table ### 6. Easy to use with beautiful visualization capabilities **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2024 **What do you like best about Hex?** Easy onboarding, it was straightforward to figure out how to create charts, reports, analysis. The connection to our BigQuery tables is also seamless **What do you dislike about Hex?** When I use faceting, I can't edit the axis names. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** From a visualization perspective, the ability to run large queries and visualize them without running into performance issues ### 7. Better than snowflake **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Hex?** Integrated well with snowflake. Snowflake does not work well in their web ui **What do you dislike about Hex?** lack of integration with IDEs Notebooks can't be saved as python files Airflow integration isn't great **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Snowflake snowpark integration is better than hex, our previous tool ### 8. Efficient but Slow **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The UI for Hex is easy to understand and something that our team uses daily. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Sometimes the product works very slow which can hinder our ability to run scripts that are high value for the company. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having a shared place where we can run scripts effectively and be able to see each other's work. ### 9. Extremely powerful + efficient tool for data science/analytics power users **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Easily the best tool on the market for going from a hypothesis/idea to execution for data science/analytics power users. Reliably connects to all of the most popular databases. Intuitive to query from wherever you want, and to manipulate data within SQL or Python. Excellent data visualization options. I haven't had to log into Mode Analytics for almost a year (thankfully!). **What do you dislike about Hex?** Hex definitely feels like the new kid on the block, and is not necessarily as feature-rich as incumbent tools. What it does, it does fantastically, and they are constantly adding new features to match and beat their competitors. But it is still missing some things like easy Slack notifications, easy web embedding of images/maps, etc. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can easily pull data from any of my team's databases, and quickly get a Python notebook running to analyze/process that data. Visualizations are also fantastic - in particular, creating a heatmap from custom geoJSON files is way simpler than I had expected. ### 10. Best tool for any data team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gabriel M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** We love Hex at Inventa because it is reliable, easy to use, and simply to maintain. It's simple for our data team to create some resource intensive analysis and workloads, but it's also very easy for a Business Analyst to use it for creating a dashboard or other type of analysis conducted by the business team. For admins, I can keep projects organized, users and permissions well defined. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The few points of improvement I have are: Putting more constraints on how users can interact with the Library, Components, and now Collections. In a governance standpoint, the amount of freedom each user has to create any of the objects mentioned makes really complicated to keep them organized and clean. There's no admin api, to enable, disable users, check for last logins and manage it without going in the platform, same thing for projects. Github integration has some flaws, as it's not uncommon for it to be stuck in PRs, even after they get approved and merged in GitHub. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're solving two main issues, a computing platform for Data Science and Machine Learning, as we would have from Databricks, SageMaker and so on. An integrated BI tool for end users. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > Thank you for the feedback, Gabriel! We're constantly thinking about governance and Collections was our most recent investment in this area (link below). We're also planning to revisit our Github integration later this year, stay tuned! ### 11. Easy for collaboration and spinning up analyses quickly **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** William Y. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Hex?** Being able to collaborate and share work easily amongst peers. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Lack of chart types, Ingegration w/ slack doesnt work **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to replace out dashboarding and analytics needs ### 12. Hex just makes it easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sydney C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** I've worked with many tools to deliver valuable insights, beautiful visualizations, and tailored dashboards to stakeholders. Still, none of them can compare to Hex regarding how easy it is to make something look beautiful. With Hex, what you get straight "out of the box" just from dragging and dropping looks nice enough that you can feel proud when a stakeholder inevitably takes a screenshot of your report to add to their PowerPoint presentation (It's inevitable). The reports feel natural and easy to use and will make your end users want to come back again and again. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The only place of improvement I could give for Hex is to allow for more customization of the layout on the front end of reports. Allowing a cell to be normal width in a wide-width report with center orientation and other customization options like that could help inspire other report-builders to do something new and different. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hex is helping our organization make beautiful reports while also allowing our analysts to focus on what is important - the data. Our analysts don't have to spend several hours in customization, organizing the format, changing fonts, choosing backgrounds, etc. They basically just drag and drop the report elements, and the report is done and looks done too. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > Thanks, Sydney-- we are working on improvements to our app experience this quarter, stay tuned! ### 13. Very user friendly tool, still some key functionalities missing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ana L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** - Very intuitive and easy to use - Allows me to combine SQL and Python in one notebook - Allows me to create graphs right after the queries - Customer support is very responsive - Very dynamic - new functionalities (e.g., folders) are added frequently **What do you dislike about Hex?** Not so much points I dislike, but missing functionalities: - Labels for totals in grouped bar charts (right now we can only include label in each of the subgroups, but not fot the total) - Not possible to "copy paste" charts from one notebook to another (sometimes I need to use the same chart in 2 different notebooks and I need to recreate the chart) -> would be great if you could add "other projects" as a source for the app, and I would just get charts from other projects to include in my new projects - App layout: the layout of the app still feels like a A4 paper with charts -> would be great to get a more 'dashboard' look -> possibility to add 10 (for ex) different charts in one page without having to scroll down - No index in the 'project tab' -> everytime I want to see a chart in the project tab, I need to scroll down to that query/chart: I have some projects with over 30 queries and charts so it can be a long process. Would be great to have an index with the dataframes so I could jump to specific dataframes straight from the top of the page **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Problem: Lack of user-friendly platforms for data viewing that I can easily share with non-technical colleagues; With Hex, I can share insights quite easily with Product owners ### 14. I haven't used spreadsheets once after switching to Hex 🚀 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ewa B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex enables you to seamlessly switch between SQL and Python and build simple visualizations using the built-in chart features. It's really straightforward, and it took me only a few days to switch from using spreadsheets to preparing reports to have all the analysis steps performed within Hex. The parameter features allow you to filter the data easily; components save time when doing a repeatable analysis, and variables allow you to easily understand where the numbers are coming from - in other words, there's no need to write separate documentation for your analysis since the work in Hex is documenting itself. Whenever I had a technical issue, I received help from Hex support within hours. The team regularly delivers new features, so it feels like Christmas morning whenever I get a Hex product newsletter. **What do you dislike about Hex?** If you're looking for something to replace data visualization tools such as Tableau - Hex is definitely not the answer (yet?). It's not the best tool for visual data exploration - it works better when the analysis steps/metrics and visualizations are planned. The built-in chart options are quite limited - they cover ~90% of my needs. For the other 10% I need to get creative ;) **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use hex daily for data analysis and dashboards - it fulfills most of my use cases as a data analyst. A huge benefit is that there's no need to document the work since it's documenting itself, and the analysis is replicable without effort. ### 15. Best data exploration and moddeling tool i have used **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** chris w. | Director of Business Intelligence, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The ability to seamlessly integrate SQL and Python without the need for additional libraries like SQLAlchemy is fantastic. Generating charts and applying filters is a breeze, and it saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent writing code for charts. Sharing and collaborating with colleagues is effortless. To put it simply, I would be extremely disappointed if I were to lose access to this tool. **What do you dislike about Hex?** We need to bring the co-pilot feature onboard. It would be helpful to have the ability to scroll through dataframes easily, as currently, it's challenging to view a large amount of tabular data. I often resort to downloading the data into Excel for better visualization. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** - It saves me time exploring complex data sets via built-in visulaisations filtering etc - building complex models and running code blocks stage by stage rather than building a lot of CTE's and running them all each time. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > Chris, thanks for the feedback! The Hex Magic (link below) release is coming soon and we are investing in our front-end performance this quarter to improve workflows like this. In the interim, please feel free to flag projects where you have challenges to support@hex.tech. ### 16. Comprehensive tool and Easy to use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2024 **What do you like best about Hex?** Easy to use for works that have a mix of Python and SQL, easy to collaborate and demonstrate the result **What do you dislike about Hex?** Limitation of memory when needs to use a large data set **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes the integration between SQL and Python easy ### 17. versatile, essential tool for data analytics; visualization and AI feature needs improvement **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** It's a must-to-have tool for data analytics; it has the flexibility to connect with different types of data warehouse and query languages; can help create simple, clear visualization of data; AI magic feature is helpful for coding. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The embedded visualization tool can be improved to be more customizable. For example, current pie charts cannot display both value and percentage. AI Magic feature can be improved on its accuracy. Sometimes it doesn't understand prompt properly, repeating same mistakes in the coding. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** data analysis, data visualization. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > Hi! Thanks for the great feedback. We'd love to learn more about the challenges you've experienced to-date using Hex's Magic offering. If you'd be willing to share more information with us, please reach out to magic@hex.tech and we'll get you connected to the team working on those features. Nisha ### 18. Hex is the best 💯 otherwise disparate tools and tech integrated intuitively and aesthetically **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Noah S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Our data warehouse, Python, DuckDB, and cell lineage graph, and easily creatable apps are al in one place **What do you dislike about Hex?** Not much yet, it covers most bases for our use case **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. Bringing together Python and our SQL data warehouses, and even live OLTP database 2. Quick exploratory analytics 3. Fresh, dynamic, and lightweight to build apps / dashboards ### 19. Hex is the magical analytics tool I've waiting for my entire career **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sterling P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** One of the best things about Hex is that they innovate at a breakneck pace. The features avaible 18 months ago were impressive, but now they're divine! **What do you dislike about Hex?** I don't have much to say here. Sure, there are a few features I'd like to see and some minor improvements to others, but I'm confident they'll get there. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hex allows us to rapidly iterate on analyzing data using advanced SQL/Python code and then quickly publish those results as dashboards to non-coding data consumers. ### 20. Amazing product **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** I like that it is possible to mix SQL and Python. The idea of storing a query results straight to a dataframe is awesome. I also like some chart options, that's is very handy. **What do you dislike about Hex?** I realized that sometimes when I filter a dataframe in a chart, it modifies the underlying dataframe. That can be annoying, because I have to run everything again to have the original dataframe. I think that's not a expected behaviour. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hex is very useful for exploratory analysis and sharing insights with stakeholders. I also think it is easy to collaborate. ### 21. The best MDS fitted data product in the industry **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pietro C. | Architect, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Incredible product vision, iterating very fast to integrate with he latest advances in the industry such as Semantic Layer, Python support on Snowflake, and even AI Magic. My team loves it and it made us deliver more value to the business than any other tool **What do you dislike about Hex?** I wish the ceilling for the advanced UX would be higher. I feel I have infinite freedome to do backend stuff (python) but I'm missing similar power on the frontend. I think the visualizations and widgets are still a bit imature. We opted to do our own viz components using commercial js libs. While they work great if you're doing read-only stuff, the momenet you want to interact with the runtime or add writebacks, its a dead end (to be clear you can do writeback using hex native but for more advanced stuff you cant) **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We answer questions to our users using Hex. We also build a variety of prototypes to leverage AI, generate embeddings, scrape pages you name it. Its our Swiss army knife for many things. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > Thanks for the feedback, Pietro! We are continuously investing in our native charts and visualization experience (link below) so keep an eye out for improvements! If you have specific asks or feedback, you can always share them with support@hex.tech. ### 22. Fast and easy streamlining analytics **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The interface allows to write queries in a fast and easy way and connect between them. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The enviroment is not always stable...There are some bugs. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is easly connects to our snowflake DB. It provides an intuitive interface where I can write sql queries and create dashboards. ### 23. One of the best IDE/notebooks I've ever used **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Very intuitive interface that abstracts away much of the complexity of plain notebooks. The cell-based workflows make it possible to break down analyses into logical steps, and the in-memory caching helps keep warehouse costs low(er). **What do you dislike about Hex?** It can be challenging to navigate the project page easily, which is an issue when you have a sizeable multi-step analysis or dashboard. The outline view is helpful, but it would be great to go one step higher so that it's easy to navigate throughout your project based on your chosen cell name. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hex is giving us an easy-to-use yet highly flexible tool for a number of use cases: exploratory analyses, dashboards, root cause analysis, and more. We continually find new ways to use Hex to solve a business problem we are facing. The benefit for us is that we can enable our engineers and business analysts with the tools they need to quickly come up with solutions to problems they are facing. ### 24. Convenient All-in-One Tool for Data Teams **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex is very flexible and is able to support a wide variety of use cases for modern data teams, from in-depth analysis and scheduled jobs to simple SQL-based dashboards. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The development experience in Hex is basically a Jupyter notebook, which can become unwieldy as a project or analysis grows and becomes more complicated. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hex allows the data team to incorporate SQL-based data visualization with python-based analysis in a straightforward way, which allows one tool to support a wide variety of use cases and reduces fragmentation of work product. ### 25. Great for sharing analytics across an org **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The easy ability to create data driven applications **What do you dislike about Hex?** Git integration could be improved - it's hard to branch or track changes **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps create an easy way to proliferate data driven analyses ### 26. A Great Resource for Modeling All-Things Data **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anthony S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Super smooth UI. Great feature library. So many potential use cases. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Finding and accessing support could be easier. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Modeling data outside Amplitude and sharing data stories to members of my organization ### 27. Fantastic tool for data teams **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maia P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The hex team clearly understands the needs of data teams. Easy environment management, moving data between sql and python, exploratory data analysis, and transforming tables. Plenty of features that I would like to see in the future but hex has already gotten so much better in my last 1.5 years of using it that I don't doubt there will be plenty of great new features coming our way **What do you dislike about Hex?** some of the default settings (using cached data, auto-running cells) are not ideal for my team's use cases but those are easy things to update for each new notebook **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** quick and easy python tools for the data analysts - ability to make BI tools that are more complicated or interactive than what we can do in sql alone the ability to create quick and easy data loading pipelines ### 28. Great notebook with a rapidly increasing suite of additional features **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Development with both SQL and Python in an easy to use environment **What do you dislike about Hex?** It tried to do everything and some of the features are a bit cludgy. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly answering business questions without the overhead and lengthy development of platforms like Tableau. ### 29. 10/10 would recommend **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Schedule run and the option to write python and SQL in the same notebook. We have built workflows that uses these 2 features and they work like a charm. 10/10 **What do you dislike about Hex?** That I cannot send app reports or tables directly to my slack. Would really like the feature of being able to send reports via slack. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Scheduled runs which is allowing us to automate our workflows without daily intervention. ### 30. great tool for data analytics and data science **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** easy to use to combine datasource, notebook enviroment for both SQL and Python **What do you dislike about Hex?** a little bit hard to move the cell, hoping to add more features to visualization **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** it helps me easy combining data source, quickly do explortory analysis ### 31. Great tool for exploring, combining and modeling data **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt W. | S, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex's simple notebook-style interface is easy to navigate and use, but the powerful combination of SQL and python cells allows you to do a huge amount with your data. **What do you dislike about Hex?** A challenge with all notebook-type interfaces is how long they can get as you add more cells to your project. This is certainly not unique to Hex but you **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hex allows me to quickly write queries against our analytics data warehouse, before building on the datasets to using python ### 32. Useful product, with a lot of potential, with still a very big margin for improvement **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** I like that the product lets us mix python and sql in a very simple and intuitive way, and that it's in general very flexible. **What do you dislike about Hex?** I think that the product is still young and there is a lot that can be improved. Here are a few things I (and some of my colleagues) find problematic. I will be super direct in the feedback and won't polish it much, hope that's ok! - The frontend in the logic section is very very slow for long or complex projects. Scrolling becomes incredibly slow, and this slows down our productivity noticeably. - The offline managmenet is terrible (or rather, non existent). If my internet disconnects and I don't notice (which happened a few times), after it comes back all my changes just disappear. I don't get any notification that this happend, and I can't even know what I changed in the meantime. It's just terrible! - The fact that it's impossible to understand what caused an error during the pubblication of an app is incredibly inefficient, especially in long notebooks (we can have notebooks that take 2 hours to run!!). The fact that you have to rerun the WHOLE published app after fixing a small bug or after changing the title of a plot or some other minor thing like that is just silly. - Often cells get stuck as "queued for execution" without any reason. - The 20 outputs per block limit is annoying, because we often use internal python libraries or loops that need to plot more than 20 things and we have to find workarounds for that. Can this be lifted? - While printing multiple things from the same block, they then can't be reorganized in the app section. This is annoying as well because if I want to neatly organize a notebook I am forced to put plots in different blocks, but often (as I said before), we use libraries to print multiple plots in sequence, which then can't be reorganized. - While potentially powerful, in its current implementation the new search feature is currently very bad. Finding stuff has become complicated, and often I don't find it. This is for a few main reasons: It has too much noise, it seems that it's not good at finding substrings in the title (e.g., experiment_xxx is not found when looking for xxx), and it seems like it doesn't prioritize the title over contents of the project. Also, I would leave the title as the default search target and then add the possibility of seaching in the contents as an advanced option, to reduce noise. - Organizing of our organization's hex is a mess. Tags have become unusable as we added a lot of them, and we can't even scroll properly. Also, it's not a scalable solution at all. For an organization like ours with hundred of notebooks I think that a navigation system with folders and such is a must. Collections go in that direction but they are still not a scalable solution. - Not being able to query from different data sources in a single SQL cell can be very annoying at times. I understand it can be technically complicated to integrate this but it would be very handy - It would be nice to have a neater, more intuitive and faster way to bunch groups of related blocks together to perform operations on them (moving, copying, deleting) but also to have a cleaner organization of the logic section, which is hard to navigate for long notebooks at the moment. - Adding plots on top of each other was useful, but not doable anymore (feedback from a colleague) These are the most relevant things that come to mind, if you wish to discuss further I would be happy to do so **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's very useful for analyzing data and easily switching from SQL to Python. Love the dataframe querying. Love the fact that I can share the apps easily with my whole company. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > Thank you for spending time sharing this great feedback with us! We'd love to discuss some of these points further with you and share what we've built to address some of the gaps. If you're interested, please reach out to support@hex.tech. ### 33. HEX = Say Less **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** Ease of use, hyper powered jupyter notebook. fast and sleek UI. HEX has allowed me to quickly automated many repetitive tasks that would've taken forever in any other instance of Python or SQL. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Needs better access to files on shared drives or scheduled loading. could be pipeline tool as WELL as data analytics. Application side could likely be better, including inputs etc. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automation of data manipulation and interactions with end users as well as applications and other environments. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > We are working on allowing teams to access files from shared drives and we are actively improving the application experience-- stay tuned to our release notes (linked below) for updates here soon! ### 34. a place to connect different platforms together and generate a simple UI for the clients to work on **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** i can use Python, Git and big query an one place and put the notebook on automatic run so that it can produce the results and update Google Sheets for dashboading **What do you dislike about Hex?** getting to the latest version of python. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** it helps me make a UI friendly to the clients and at the backend i can use several other platforms at Hex to generate results out of it. ### 35. Indispensable data exploration tool with some limitations **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The "it just works" feeling I often get when using it. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The graphing functionalities don't check all the boxes so I end up needing to use non-native (i.e. plotly, or matplotlob) graphing libraries. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. A place to do EDA with SQL _and_ python. 2. An easy to use app builder for interactive data products for internal (often non-technical) stakeholders. ### 36. Outshines its competitors **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David F. | Senior Analytics Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex's notebook is miles ahead of other products out there and has everything you need for running an analysis. Absolutely love the fact that you can move between SQL and Python so seamlessly. Writing SQL against dataframes and Python against query outputs is just so magical. Passing variables from the front end "app" to the backend notebook has been extremely valuable too for so many use cases. The Git integration brings a lot to the table, allowing our team to back up our code and also run code reviews before moving dev work to production. In addition to a high-caliber product, the Hex team is innovative, responsive, and consistently (and rapidly) enhancing their product. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Updated this because what I wrote previously is no longer valid with the release of new features. Hex is an awesome tool, but if I had to pick something is that the out of box charting is kind of lacking. Ive tried to use it a couple of times but then ended up writing Python. **Recommendations to others considering Hex:** Set up a trial! Best way to see if its the right tool for your team. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** So far, we have mainly used Hex for all of our more complex, ad-hoc analysis which involved using Python/R for data modeling & visualizations. Through this analysis, we have better understood gaps in our day-to-day care center operations and found actionable insights that will lead to more efficiency and a better experience for our members. ### 37. Hex is a versatile tool for data projects **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hex?** The SQL integration, it makes pulling data for projects much easier. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Managing projects is clunky, as there aren't many ways to organize projects into folders. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hex is used as an experimental analytics tool and to create simple apps for stakeholders to pull data with. **Official Response from Nisha Dwivedi:** > Thanks for the feedback-- we recently launched Collections and a new search experience to help teams better organize their content in Hex. We'd be curious to know if that is aligned with what you're looking for. Let us know at support@hex.tech! ### 38. Great tool for data research, scripting, scheduling, and sharing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jay K. | Head of Data, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** There are many things I like about the tool: - Clean UX and easy to navigate - Environments are easy to maintain and spin up - Python to SQL (vice-versa) has super easy handoff - Sharing capabilities are amazing, charts or scripts - Graph view is really handy in knowing which Cell links to which - Building quick scripted apps is super easy - Scheduling apps is also really easy **What do you dislike about Hex?** Overall the tool is fantastic, something that they're actively working on are: - Improving charts and filters/sorting - Better connection with GitHub would be nice, just to see exact changes in GitHub. To be fair, there is already good version control, so you don't lose any changes but a way to see it in GitHub would be nice Hex Tech team is actively working on a ton of new features, which is amazing! Soon to be the best tool in the data world (if it's not already) **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Since we're just getting started with our data team, it's best to use a tool like Hex which can span across multiple functions. It can allow us to do the extraction, transformation, and loading of data, and helps with visuals as well. This is a perfect tool for our small team. ### 39. Great SQL/python workbench, though visualizations are still a bit raw **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chang S. | Analytics Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** I love that I can work on a combined SQL/Python project in a single notebook that I can share to collaborate with other users. In particular, when conducting an investigation, it's really helpful to be able to make new queries that are based on the output of previous queries, just as you can in a Jupyter notebook. I also appreciate the distinction between seat types - we are only charged for "Author" seats, whereas some competitors charge equally for each seat regardless of the level of usage. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The visualizations could use some more improvement. For example, the number of gridlines doesn't automatically adjust based on the number of tick marks you have on each axis. Another issue: autocomplete works pretty well, but it seems to default everything to uppercase. Not sure if this is an issue with how field names are cased in our particular Snowflake instance, or a more general issue w/ connecting to Snowflake. This is frustrating from a readability perspective, especially for field names. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a tool that could handle complex analysis using SQL (and occasional Python) and would let us create some basic visualizations to share with the rest of the company. ### 40. Hex is a magical tool for us to quickly go from prototype to deployment at the click of a button! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Harneet R. | Scientist, Data Science, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** We've been impressed by the balance Hex provides in offering the technical flexibility you’d want as a data scientist with low technical overhead for effortlessly publishing interactive apps. This makes it easy for us to go from prototype to deployment. **What do you dislike about Hex?** There's nothing really to dislike about Hex - we're mainly excited to see future iterations of some current features! For example, we'd love to see the extension of no-code tools (e.g. the chart editor for visualizations) to encompass code-free data processing as well. This would make Hex accessible to a larger fraction of our user base and enable more non-technical users to create and share analyses. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've been able to develop interactive data apps to (1) provide code-free analysis dashboards, (2) automate data-driven workflows, and (3) track metrics for various teams and processes across our organization. Hex has been the unifying platform that has allowed us to create apps for all of these use cases. ### 41. Hex: for data teams big and small **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Walt L. | Director, Analytics - Operations Strategy & Transportation, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** Everything _just works_. No fussing with packages or versions, UI elements are intuitive and easy to use, app layer is fantastic. If you had told me that I could put the level of scenario modeling we have today in front of a non-technical user and they wouldn't have to touch code, I would have laughed in your face. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Charting.... charts are ugly. Great that they exist, and way easier to use than other Python packages! But coming from a Looker or Tableau-esque design palette, Hex has a long way to go before I feel comfortable using it as my one-and-only presentation tool for data. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Most of our use cases breakdown between two areas: scenario modeling (what happens if we have this level of marketing spend? this conversion increase? this fulfillment matrix), and simple internal apps (lookup info in system A, make API call to system B, insert data into system C). Hex is extremely powerful and easy to use for both use cases. ### 42. Hex was a breeze as a first-time notebook user! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** 💿 C. | Engineering Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex was extremely welcoming. It has phenomenal defaults, but also lets you use more nuanced and advanced tools if you'd like. I was able to make a very presentable notebook on my first go, and I've never even used Jupyter before! I think tools like this, that break down walls for highly technical people to communicate with non-technical folks, are extremely important. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Hex has an opinionated design. I think this is a really good thing! But there were a few times I wanted slightly more flexibility than was provided. I'm sure that'll come as the platform matures though, and would never hold me back from recommending Hex to another analyst. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've only used Hex for a side project, specifically to analyze some data related to the New York Times Spelling Bee game. It was very easy to share this with folks on social media. ### 43. Director of Data Engineering **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Richard F. | Director of Data Engineering, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** Simple Jupyter notebook-like style SQL & Python cell with lineage graph makes the data analysis simple and easy. **What do you dislike about Hex?** There is still a limit to how much data an online Notebook can handle if you have very advanced/complex data graphing. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can get our data science and advanced BI user setup quickly. ### 44. A wonderful experience for niche data science users **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Venture Capital & Private Equity | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex makes it really easy to spend as little time as possible on anything surrounding setup, infrastructure, and management and to focus your time on doing the work that matters. It's intuitive, constantly improving, has all the right connections, and being able to switch back and forth between python and sql is really fun. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The dashboarding is still a bit clunky - it often stalls, is not quite agile enough to really build the things you want to and isn't the most intuitive for nontechnical users to interact with. I would call it a great place to prototype but not for production-worthy consumption en masse. Also, the not yet existant ability to not just pull from sql but also push back would be really great (I think this is on the roadmap) . **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use hex mainly for data science research questions, as well as some scheduled ETL jobs that are messier so they can't be handled easily with a snowpipe etc. We also use it for the dashboards to share work and access to our databases with less technical folks. ### 45. One of the best data tools I worked with **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** 1. It is so easy to set up and get started. If you especially have a smaller team, Hex is great because you don't have to think about maintaining anything from the infrastructure standpoint. 2. Hex makes it so easy to share your work with your stakeholders, set up scheduled runs, and build filters so you don't have to duplicate your code for similar requests. 3. Building reports/dashboards/apps on Hex has been super easy. They adopted Jupyter-style notebooks for their development environment -- it makes it super easy to get started if you ever used Jupyter, and you can use SQL and Python together without dealing with writing wrappers for your SQL in Python. **What do you dislike about Hex?** The organization of the queries/reports could definitely be better as there are just tags for now for you to organize them. However, this is not a pain for us as the # of queries we have is not that large. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using hex to help our stakeholders keep track of KPIs that they are interested in. Our organization has definitely become more data-aware since we adopted Hex as it makes it so easy for the data team to build dashboards/apps and share them with the team. ### 46. HEX is AMAZING!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Conner C. | Data Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** The ease of switching between python and sql and publishing apps, how frequently they are launching new product features, and their customer support is fantastic! **What do you dislike about Hex?** If I had to nitpick, it's that they're an early product, so they haven't built out all the functionality that they want to. But they'll get there :) **Recommendations to others considering Hex:** For technical users, Hex is way easier to use and faster to produce results than the current big-name visualization tools. There are many use cases for Hex that have made my life easier. Also, customer support is quick to get back with potential solutions to problems, and they're eager for feedback on additional product updates. I've used Hex for about 1 year and have seen many great product update releases during that time! **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've used it for deep dive analyses, building quick tools for operation personnel, to create dashboards, and for ad-hoc requests. ### 47. Unlocking value in data through unparalleled developer and business user experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris P. | Data Scientist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** Hex serves as a robust workbench for all parts of the data science process. Exploration of data and communication of insights are made frictionless through Hex's many features, like in-notebook SQL, an intuitive app builder, sharing, scheduled execution, and more. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Other BI tools focused on the no-code data visualization experience, and many do it quite well. Hex isn't quite there with their no-code visualization feature. but will be able to catch up rapidly. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're building ML models, pulling ad-hoc reports for business users, creating mission-critical dashboards, and performing data exploration. Though we've been able to do this without Hex, the ability to do it all within one tool makes it easier than ever to provide value to the business through data. ### 48. Hex Has Changed the Way We Do Analytics **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** 1) The ability to move between SQL and Python. SQL query outputs are stored as dataframes, which can be manipulated in Python or queried via SQL. This allows for incredibly easy and powerful exploratory data analysis, and after completing EDA it's dead simple to build a web-app for viewers with only relevant visualizations and tables. 2) The flexibility of Hex notebooks. We began using Hex for EDA, but quickly found use cases outside of that where Hex truly thrives. Recently, we've been able to use Hex to easily build QA tools comparing data obtained from our DBs as well directly from APIs (using the python requests package, which comes installed with Hex). **What do you dislike about Hex?** The standard visualizations are a bit limited, but this is not a large issue as our team uses primarily open source Python or R packages. **Recommendations to others considering Hex:** We originally had concerns Hex wouldn't meet our basic BI and dashboarding needs, but it is a fantastic tool for both EDA and building long-term dashboards. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** We started using Hex only for exploratory data analysis, but quickly expanded beyond that use case. We now have migrated most of our dashboards away from Tableau into Hex, and have even built QA tools for our operations team powered by Hex. The flexibility of Hex allows us to build a variety of analytical tools for our internal teams. It's become an indispensable tool in our data team's arsenal. ### 49. Its a straight forward, easy to use collaborative tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amir K. | Data team lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** working on SQL and python at the same time, making it **What do you dislike about Hex?** the performance is a bit slow when querying data with python **Recommendations to others considering Hex:** If you need plug and play, sharable notebooks, or you'd like to run code and extract the data back to google sheet/snowflake it a great platform to enhance your analytics stack **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** usually, it's a one step before we are ready to move the script to dbt and would like to refresh it frequently ### 50. Fantastic product that has truly transformed the way we do analytics **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ashish C. | Senior Data Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Hex?** Ability to collaborate with multiple people in real-time. A combination of SQL, Python, and Jinja in one environment makes for a very powerful ecosystem and allows us to provide much refined insights to our stakeholders. **What do you dislike about Hex?** Standard visualisation options are quite basic and require a lot of workarounds to make them look nicer. Can not import customer colour pallets. The inability of authors to save a data source connection that they can import into a new project. **What problems is Hex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collaboration between different team members in the analytics team. Increased transparency in terms of insights being delivered and the version-controlled nature of SQL scripts powering those insights. Better experience for stakeholders while engaging with data team. ## Hex Discussions - [What is Hex Technologies used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-hex-technologies-used-for) - [View Hex pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/hex-tech-hex/reviews?page=8&qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-21+21%3A44%3A03+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=94b34552-5329-4792-aed6-8d68510e792a&secure%5Btoken%5D=2a87a31f340137a0438478f5ee3dda38929777114aa8ae79f0b984f7964ce244&format=llm_user) ## Hex Integrations -
