Lightdash Reviews & Product Details

Lightdash sits directly on top of our dbt project and therefore abides by the same governace principles, including version control. It's easy to deploy new fields and tables by making updates to the schmea .yml files. Our stakeholders generally find the interface easy to navigate and are able to self-service for core data needs.

It took some exploration to fully integrate Lightdash deploymnents to our CI/CD workflow, but that's been working well since we invested the time to stand up a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's similar to Looker but open source and even the cloud offering is much more reasonably priced.

If you are using DBT, it integrates much better with Lightdash configurations living in the same repo as DBT. This removes a major source of headache keeping two repos in sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's still a relatively new tool so many nice to have features are not there or involve complex workaround. e.g. it's easy to build stacked bar charts but converting it to a stacked % chart is not easy.

The team are releasing changes at a fast pace though so expect these to be fixed in the near future. At that point, I feel there will be little reason to pick a tool like Looker over Lightdash Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
