Powerful and Flexible platform for data driven decision making **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gopi k. | Principal Product Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Mode?** Mode strikes a clear balance between data analysts and self serve exploration for business users. As a principal product manager, I have a clear visibility on how many of users are using my latest release product features. the ui is clean and focus on different role based users. The configurable options on scheduling and alerting is also highly useful. I use it to frequently to to track the feature usage on my platform. It's also available to use organisation wide with SSO functionality solving the problem of ease of implementation **What do you dislike about Mode?** On-boarding less technical users is really challenging. it's not really healping for pure drag and drop audiences. Even though it's really easy to integrate with our existing data sources, support from admin is something which cannot be skipped for authenticating the sources. **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** Earlier we were struggling with usage pattern of some of crucial features that we release to customers all over the globe. Mode made the challenge easy by providing easy query and visualisation features which made our A/B Testing and experimental results more meaningful ### 2.

Super Helpful tool for analysis and dashboard creation ( Updates have made it too slow) **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alejandra L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Mode?** It is super easy to use, it is online and drag and drop features to creat graphs and dashboards make it super easy and intuitive to use, tableu needs a lot of more knowledge to be able to use while mode makes it super easy and friendly **What do you dislike about Mode?** Sometimes is too slow to actually run query's which makes it really hard to be efficient at doing analysis, now even creating raphs takes forever, or even filtering info on the graphics, which makes time super unefficient **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** Create automated dashboards or anslisis that can be run on the cloud by anyone in the team and can even be filtered out if someone needs to explore further the information making it super easy to use ### 4. Outstanding! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephan R. | MX Agent., Health, Wellness and Fitness, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Mode?** I like Mode because it's a versatile tool to use, and provides me with the information required about our customers' orders. The filtration options are amazing. I can filter with the customer's e-mail, name or order number! **What do you dislike about Mode?** I don't find anything wrong with Mode. It's fast to load, and it's been a great experience using it so far. Everything that I need to find is in one place and it makes everything a lot faster and easier for my daily work routine. **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mode is essential for our daily activities. I use it daily to track the shipments status, and if it was assigned to which shipping partner. It can display unit serial numbers as well which is a really good addition. ### 5. Mode - Accesible raw data in the backend of Charts **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aasish V. | Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Mode?** As an analyst, I find it extremely useful that in every mode chart the Raw data behind the bar graph , the line graph is just a click away and this makes it very easy to look at individual cases from a large dataset and then analyze them on a qualitative basis. **What do you dislike about Mode?** What I dislike about the mode is that there are no real easy-to-learn tutorials on how to create reports, or creating calculated fields, or creating Charts. and also no tutorials on using the python notebook **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building reports for large datasets again and again on Excel is extremely tiring and monotonous, this could be easily automated with mode reports with just a click on Run now we can get updated reports of everything we want to see, it bridges the gap between Bigquery and MSexcel bringing best of both worlds ### 6. Best Platform for Data Analytics **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sahil K. | Associate Data Science Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Mode?** The best thing which I like about the Mode is that we can create visualization and reports from the result of SQL Queries. The best feature of Mode is that we can make different types of visualization in Mode itself, and we don't need any other tool for quick insights. **What do you dislike about Mode?** So far, I haven't encountered any downside of Mode. But I want to add that the previous logo and font were better than the current one. The query results are exported in a CSV file; changing it to an Excel file would be great. **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mode is solving the gap between writing SQL Query on a different platform and creating visualization on an other tool. In Mode, we can quickly run SQL Query and get quick Insights from the output data through data visualization within Mode itself. ### 7. A complete data reporting solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Mode?** The ease of report visualizations and report sharing. **What do you dislike about Mode?** The time it takes for data warehouse changes to be reflected in Mode. **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is helping us translate our data into a form that can be digested by other employees so they can make data-informed decisions. ### 8. Terrific Experience with Mode **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rita L. | Analytics Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Mode?** Mode is a handy query and dashboarding tool for creating quick, helpful analytics for our teams and executives. It allows for seamless integration of SQL, Python/R and visual analytics on one platform. Another highlight of Mode is its support feature - live agents are available to answer any questions regarding querying/the UI itself, creating a very interactive experience. **What do you dislike about Mode?** While most visualizations for daily needs are available and intuitive, some more advanced features offered on other BI tools are still missing on the platform (e.g. clustered stacked bar graphs etc.). Nevertheless, Mode is extremely receptive to user feedback, and constantly evolves to add new features. Pivot tables and calculated fields, for instance, were once hotly requested features that are now available. **Recommendations to others considering Mode:** Consider this tool for your organization's analytical needs! It's easy to learn and incredibly powerful. **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visualization, data querying, dashboarding, generating business intelligence. It's a great tool to whip up a data "presentation" to show trends, elucidate changes, show leaders and laggers, share knowledge, and explore data in general. It's a tool that is incredibly powerful, yet able to generate simple to digest outputs for a broad audience. ### 9. Simple and straightforward way to get regular reporting. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jon H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Mode?** I like how Mode is super simple to get started and share reporting on data captured in a data warehouse. Once given an accounts I was able to be productive in minutes. Advanced features like the API and the ability to run python/pandas against queried data are nice additions for power users. **What do you dislike about Mode?** Sharing and collaboration on reports is not as robust as "single player mode". There are times where I wished I had more visualizations available but I've been able to handle 95+% of what I've wanted to present. **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use mode multiple times a week to generate reports on product metrics and use it to prototype sql-based data engineering (dbt) jobs. I've got reports setup to be send daily or weekly so I can have a historical set of PDF reports in my inbox in case I want to time travel the metrics. ### 10. Good Tool to use with high flexibility **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yuqi L. | Senior Product Analyst - Personal Finance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Mode?** - can easily combine python output with built-in visualizations. - good for code documentation if your analysis includes different data sources or temp tables. **What do you dislike about Mode?** - each time you switch from/to a chart, the chart will have to be updated. Will be a pain if the data is large. loading time can be 5-6 mins. - The processing time will be slow if your data is large. Especially for user-level data. - The filter function doesn't work if you want to filter the same column with a different method. For example, if you want to include the top 10 products without some exceptions. **What problems is Mode solving and how is that benefiting you?** solved the problem that we can combine outputs from both SQL and python in the same report. In the meantime, we get the chance to play around with data with flexibility ## Mode Discussions - [How do i average on charts without averaging averages](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-i-average-on-charts-without-averaging-averages) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [Why do companies choose Mode over Periscope Data?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-do-companies-choose-mode-over-periscope-data) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Why do companies choose Mode over Tableau?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-do-companies-choose-mode-over-tableau) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Why do companies choose Mode over Looker?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-do-companies-choose-mode-over-looker) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Can we make a dashboard out of mode analytics?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/27856-can-we-make-a-dashboard-out-of-mode-analytics) - 2 comments - [View Mode pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/mode-mode/reviews/mode-review-3670940?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-07+02%3A34%3A16+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=39d1ae97-021e-4a71-8a8a-1a3e8c5d9fa0&secure%5Btoken%5D=4557ca1fc4bdd0141bde91708d7bf618f28322fcf6eca6019a95dab9205e65e8&format=llm_user) ## Mode Integrations - [Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)](https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-relational-database-service-rds/reviews) ## Mode Features **Reports** - Reports Interface - Steps to Answer - Graphs and Charts - Score Cards - Dashboards **Metrics** - Sessions - Digital Analytics - Engagement - Entry and Exit Pages - Standard Event Tracking - Custom Event Tracking - Retention - Return - Conversions - Funnels **Data Preparation** - Connectors - Data Governance **Reporting** - Real-Time Reporting - Trending - Retroactive Reporting - Segmentation - Mobile Reporting - Unification Across Devices - Custom Reports and Dashboards **Marketing Operations** - ROI Tracking - Data Collection - Customer Insights - Multi-User Access **Data Modeling and Blending** - Data Querying - Data Filtering - Data Blending **Other** - User Data - Site Search Reporting - Load Time Monitoring - Campaign Tracking - E-Commerce - Promotional Messages - Administration Alerts **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Campaign Activity** - Campaign Insights - Reports and Dashboards - Campaign Stickiness - Multichannel Tracking - Brand Optimization - Predictive Analytics **Agentic AI - Marketing Analytics** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance **Agentic AI - Digital Analytics** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Analytics Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Self Service ** - Calculated Fields - Data Column Filtering - Data Discovery - Search - Collaboration / Workflow **Deployment & Integration - Analytics Platforms** - No-code Dashboard Builder - Report Scheduling and Automation - Embedded Analytics and White-labeling - Data Source Connectivity **Advanced Analytics** - Predictive Analytics - Data Visualization - Big Data Services **Performance & Scalability - Analytics Platforms** - Large data handling and Query Speed - Concurrent User Support **Advanced Analytics & Modeling - Analytics Platforms** - Data Modeling and Governance - Notebook and Script Integration - Built-in Predictive and Statistical Models **Agentic AI Capabilities - Analytics Platforms** - Auto-generated Insights and Narratives - Natural Language Queries - Proactive KPI Monitoring and Alerts - AI Agents for Analytical Follow-ups **Administration** - API / Integrations - QA Testing - Performance and Reliability - User, Role, and Access Management **Personalized Intelligence - Analytics Platforms** - Behavioral Learning for Contextual Query Refinement - Role-based Insight Personalization - Conversational and Prompt-based Analytics **Building Reports** - Data Transformation - Data Modeling - WYSIWYG Report Design - Integration APIs **Platform** - Mobile User Support - Customization - User, Role, and Access Management - Internationalization - Sandbox / Test Environments - Performance and Reliability - Breadth of Partner Applications ## Top Mode Alternatives - [Looker](https://www.g2.com/products/looker/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (1,566 reviews) - [Tableau](https://www.g2.com/products/tableau/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (3,516 reviews) - [Sisense](https://www.g2.com/products/sisense/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (974 reviews)
