"Lightdash: Lightning-Fast dbt-Powered BI with Rapid Feature Releases"

5/5

What do you like best about Lightdash?

It is built on top of dbt and combines the best of all worlds:

- it is 10x faster to compute visualizations than Tableau

- it is much easier to built data models than in Tableau or Looker

- data models are directly "verified"/they break if they are not compatible within dbt (in Tableau/Looker, similar tools -- these are two separate worlds)

- the Lightdash team releases new features (also upon request) at lightning speed

- I can build new dashboards/charts via prompting in Cursor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightdash?

Honestly I don't see any so far: If at all, it requires relatively high technical skill. It cannot be used effectively by a "plug-n-play" BI Analyst.

If the price is an issue, one can consider self-hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightdash solving and how is that benefiting you?

I started off liking Tableau as a BI tool better than PowerBI.

Then, I could see the compute downsides and missing git repo in Tableau compared to Looker.

Then, I can see the issue that Looker is very expensive and that Looker is not dbt integrated, i.e. you constantly need to maintain two disconnected repos and make changes in two places.

Lightdash is by far the best BI tool out there today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
