Very easy to use (even as a data novice)
The fact that it's so intuitive (with some initial training) allowing all members of the team to create their own dashboards.

This is how business intelligence should be
Lightdash has been an absolute gamechanger, its eliminated shadow semantic layers and the disconnect from business driven insights and those from the data team.
It has very strong inituitive seperation of dashboards and charts which is all validated through DBT.
Therefor every element of a dashboard is answering a business question and stakeholders and pick & mix different charts that are governed and semantically correct for their personal usage.
This was one of easiest tools tio implement and we were up and running within less than 2 days. We've depreciated Tableu, PowerBI, and GoogleLooker for Lightdash and we've noticed a higher usage amongst our business stakeholders since.

Excellent experience
Lightdash is our primary BI tool. It is very simple to get started on, and has all of the features needed to run a BI team.
It's also part of the 'semantic layer' community of BI tools, that do much more than create pretty charts. It allows for lay people to explore data, and get rich insights, based on pre defined logic that the analytics team creates in the tool. Too often in the past, I would give a business user access to a BI tool, and they created dashboards with incorrect conclusions because there was no way to pre-define calculations/joins/metrics/etc. Lightdash solves this problem in a big way.
I like how lightdash is fully integrated with DBT. In previous roles, using other BI tools, there was a gulf between our database logic and the BI tool. It was almost impossible to scope changes across the systems, and determine how upstream changes would effect BI. Because Lightdash is built on top of DBT, this is much easier to understand.
The ability to create a report, that any user can explore, filter, group etc. while within the guard rails set up by our analytics team is also very nice.
The team is very responsive to bug/feature requests and support.
