"Intuitive AI Dashboards with Customizability, Needs Pricing per seat adjustments to B2B2C model"

What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

I love the AI building features of Omni Analytics and the simplicity of the drag-and-drop interface, which enhances responsiveness. The dashboards are equipped with more tools than just querying data, allowing text or markdown format integration and AI queries. I appreciate the customizability and advanced functionality that makes the product feel polished and professional. The Slack support has been beneficial, and the collaboration with a third-party training team was very helpful. The ability to white-label the dashboard aids in branding. The smooth setup process and the innovative AI dashboard creation greatly contribute to efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

The pricing structure is a significant concern for me. The current model, which charges $15 per user per month, is quite expensive given I have thousands of users. Many of these users are end users who simply need access to the application occasionally, and the cost per user does not align with the revenue generated per user. I would also prefer having an in-house customer success team to support us with setup and onboarding processes. Currently, this service is contracted out, which might not provide the same level of personalized and consistent service that an internal team could offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in class business intelligence tool for small to medium sized teams"
5/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

Our organization has used a variety of business intelligence tools over the years, including Tableau, PowerBI, and most recently Looker. While all of these platforms are powerful, we often found them bloated and cumbersome to use. Looker’s LookML is excellent for data modeling, but it also locks you into the platform and centralizes modeling in a way that limits flexibility.

We use dbt for our data transformations, and Omni’s two-way integration with dbt has been a game changer. It allows us to leverage our central data model while also giving us the flexibility to do quick, ad hoc analysis directly in Omni when needed. Whether we are using our dbt models or building something fast in Omni, we can push the results back to our data warehouse with ease.

We transitioned all of our worksheets from Looker to Omni in about two months, largely because of how intuitive Omni is. The user experience draws on the best elements of other platforms. It includes Looker’s ease of drilling and exploring, Tableau’s tabbed workbook layout, and familiar Excel-like functions for non-SQL users. It covers everything we need without the extra weight of features we do not use.

Most importantly, Omni’s customer support is the best I have experienced from any vendor, not just in the business intelligence space but overall. We are in a Slack channel with their team, and their engineers and even their CEOs respond within minutes. They are hands-on, collaborative, and eager to help solve complex problems.

Omni has been a transformative partner for us. I highly recommend it to any team looking for a modern BI tool that blends power with simplicity and offers unmatched support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

Omni is still a relatively new product, so there are some rough edges. I often tell my team to expect a little bit of jank here and there. But in our experience, the trade-off is well worth it. This might not be the right tool for a massive corporation that requires a perfectly polished platform with zero errors. However, if you can tolerate the occasional quirk, I highly recommend it.

We do run into small bugs from time to time, and a few expected features are still missing. For example, some visualization types and formatting options are not yet available. That said, the Omni team is incredibly responsive. They actively listen to feedback, frequently add our requests to their roadmap, and often come up with smart workarounds in the meantime. It really feels like they are building the product alongside their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very effective BI Tool that combines the quick ad hoc experience of excel sheets with scalable SQL"
5/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

Hard to speak to one thing. Omni Analytics is by far the best BI tool I have used and I have used many from Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Superset, etc. The list goes on. Being able to have data modeled into topics within the Semantic Layer, have git branch like dev and prod releases, connect multiple data sources (within one connection), flexibility when working with data, separation of concerns with model layer and workbook layer, great customer support, straightforward implementation and integrations, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

Don't really have down sides. It would be nice to have a best practice guide on how to best work with the platform to scale your data and achieve optimal performance but that is more of a modeling issue than platform specific at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Omni: Easy to use, powerful analytics, an upgrade from Looker in every way"
5/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

For users of Looker, picking up Omni is an easy process, and our business users have also found Omni to be intuitive and powerful. Omni's visualization options are powerful, and they are constantly adding new features. It's a 100% upgrade from Looker. The Omni team is also easy to work with, easy to reach, and extremely helpful.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

As with any great BI tool, there is a learning curve to using Omni, but Omni's is the shortest I've experienced among modern BI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent, ever-evolving BI tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

The best thing about Omni is how flexible and versatile it is, both in terms of visualizations/ways of interacting with the data, as well as how it allows you to manage things in the backend to make the end-user experience as smooth as possible. I think they've nailed the approach of different logical layers and found the right balance between needing to declare everything explicitly vs. sensible defaults to get you up and running ASAP. The cherry on top is the excellent team behind the product, and the speed at which they ship new features and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

Honestly there isn't much to dislike. I occasionally wish their documentation was a bit more thorough/up-to-date, although given the pace at which they release new features this is somewhat inevitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything you want in a modern BI tool!"
5/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

The best thing about Omni is it's flexibility. It's easy to build out and work with the shared model when that makes sense, but it's also super easy to build a quick report from custom SQL when there's a new question or data set. And if you want to use that custom SQL in the shared model, that is super easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

Because it is a newer, smaller company there is more of a learning curve for users compared to going with a larger, more established tool like Tableau or Looker. But Omni's training and support team make it very easy to get the team up to speed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Business Intelligence: Episode IV – A New Hope"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

The semantic layer approach provides consistent and reusable definitions for aggregating data. Not just within a report, across all reports. Business logic that used to be tribal knowledge buried under layers of field calculations is instead brought to light, agreed upon, version controlled, and made reusable. An opinionated BI tool that encourages best practices instead of enabling as many bad ones as possible is like a breath of fresh air. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

While Omni is version controlled and enables data environment switching, that functionality has not yet been extended to make the dbt integration fully git-aware. Lots of potential on their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic tool and even better company"
5/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

This is a next generation BI tool that my company chose after evaluating about a dozen BI options. We moved from Tableau to Omni in 3 months and the business absolutely loves it - to the point that within a month of launch we needed more licenses since it was so popular. The model/semantic layer allows these less technical users to create new analyses based on curated datasets and get people much closer to data. It has a nice visualization library, iFrame integration (Hex, Google docs, etc), and native Markdown, allowing for a lot of versatility. It sits right on top of the database, so there no extra refresh step, and the smart caching is actually smart. The dbt metadata flows seamlessly and has both SQL based and Excel based syntax to meet people where they are at. On top of the technical value, the people at Omni are fantastic and have responsive ongoing support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

Understanding the modeling layer is a challenge at first. Bugs happen since they are constantly adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

Omni is super quick to integrate into your existing workflows. We were able to replace our business intelligence tool in two months while keeping our same data foundations. Although Omni can be attached to any company, it is constantly releasing updates and adapting to the ever-evolving data landscape, which pushes and inspires everyone to innovate rapidly.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

Omni is one of the best BI tools out there. I don't have a downside right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great BI tool that is always improving and has met the needs of our team and company."
4/5
What do you like best about Omni Analytics?

I really like working in the "Develop" mode where I can define, provide descriptions, and create and modify and dimensions all in one place. It is easy to maintain and control our datasets and 'topics' which results in consistency across all dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omni Analytics?

At times, Omni is slow to respond. A 1-2 second delay adds up when modifying many field name, cleaning up formatting, or just working in general in Omni. There are also some chart types that are not available. One in particular, trellis, is one they are woking on adding soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
