Holistics Data Software Reviews & Product Details

We’ve been using Holistics for a while now and overall, it’s been a great experience. We needed a BI platform that could handle drill-down analysis, offer a semantic layer for consistent metrics across different data sources, and give end-users more self-service capabilities. And so far, Holistics has checked all those boxes nicely.

What really stands out to me is the support. I’ve never had this kind of help from a BI vendor before. Most of the time, I get support from people who work on the product. They reply fast, they know what they’re doing, and they even suggest better ways of solving problems, or sometimes go ahead and fix things for me. That level of hands-on help is rare and super appreciated.

The platform is evolving fast. There’s a steady rollout of new features, and I’ve been especially excited about their AI chat and composable query language. It’s clear they’re building with the future in mind, which gives me a lot of confidence in sticking with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slight Learning Curve for Self-Service: There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to setting up the data model, which means most of our team still leans on a central data builder for now. We haven’t fully tapped into the self-service potential just yet. That said, we’re optimistic about Holistics AI, which can help our business users explore and access data more independently and more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost of the product compared to other competing tools is very good value.

Their team are very friendly and love to work with their customers to improve their product.

Overall, the product is fairly easy to use and provides a single place to define your tables and their relationships, leading to less duplication of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Holistics is missing a few key features that other platforms have e.g. Role Playing Dimensions, Cross model calculations.

However, I know the team are looking into these missing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation is easy and customer support is great, it supports major databases. Also supports developing custom charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of localization support, filtering based on text values Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to use, very intuitive. It has all the data visualizations that an organization might need, but it has the capability to let you create new visualizations via (xml- vega lite visualizations). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some visualizations I would like to have a bit more of autonomy to run my own specific configurations. For instance: mark with colours the cells in a metric-sheet depending on conditions over the numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, Ease of Implementation, and great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need more flexibility in customizing design of charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is to use and how it meets all our needs. I havent come across any issues with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snowflake has been a problem for us since it affects the integration and retrieval of data, from different sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the UI, it's very clean and easy to understand. Makes the job of checking on specific data a lot less cumbersome compared to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't compatible with all of the internal databases that we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's been pretty easy to get acquainted with it, as I haven't used this type of platform before.

I reckon with some time spent on training, if the platform produces its own learning resources, I'll be super-confident with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only quibbles are around finding it difficult to customise existing datasets and visualisations, and our team finds it very slow - we'll be stuck at 99% progress for minutes on end frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's ease of use. Every user on the company loves the product, and the empowerment of getting results quickly. Setup and visualization options are good, a good fit for a startup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Holistics works very slowly with Snowflake. I've been told that it's not easy to solve, but it's quite irritating for new users, or those that has to deal with it too many hours each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. Reduced time to get results. Good learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extreme slowness with Snowflake, the DW we use, with no solution on the near future. I understand it does not happen with others DW, but this issue makes it really difficult for Snowflake users to use the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
