Dynamic Data Sources

The analytics field often trails behind software engineering, struggling with efficient multi-environment management without duplicating setups.

  • Different data source for different clients, requires data team to create duplicative dashboards
  • Separate dashboards are needed for testing versus production environments

Dynamic Data Source is designed to solve these problems. Inspired by engineering best practices, it aligns analytics with engineering efficiency and empowers analysts to dynamically program data sources as needed.

  • Dynamically display data from the appropriate source for the right users, based on user authentication, without creating duplicate dashboards.
  • Seamlessly and dynamically switch data sources between development and production, allowing you to test analytics logic before full deployment.

Excellent BI tool for customers looking for a Looker alternative. Coming from a Looker background, I was very familiar with its concepts of analytics-as-code, and we have achieved everything we needed for reporting.

The metrics dataset component is really critical for companies that don't have a real data team to build everything all the time. In the work I do, I recommend Holistics to people all the time.

Holistics is the next big BI Tool. It took me 2 hours to build the same report in Holistics that I took 16 hours to build in Tableau.

Holistics became an excellent choice to get us going in BI without the typical huge annual expense. We have built visualizations in Holistics that took it way beyond the 'out-of-the-box' tools.

As an analytics engineer, I was looking for a tool that allowed me a lot of data modeling flexibility and reusability. With Analytics as code, Holistics does a great job of being able to define data models and relationships using code.

They are great. They are continuously improving the platform and releasing new features, so we know that what we don't have right now will be at some point :)
