Using Omni at a startup
What do you like best about the product?
One of Omni's best features is the ease of updating your schema whenever it changes. In other BI tools, this requires several steps in several places that are multiplied by the number of schema changes; with Omni you just click refresh. Omni's customer success team is also top notch and is incredibly helpful with any question you throw at them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Omni is a very new tool, there are still some bugs that pop up more often than in other BI tools. There are also some features that are still under development or missing that would be helpful, such as more organization of saved reports/dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our internal dashboards and reports are built in Omni, so everyone in the company has visibility into key metrics as well as department specific ones. It also allows users to create their own ad hoc reports so the data team does not need to build everything.
Like Looker, but better
What do you like best about the product?
BI tools typically either have a sematic layer, which makes them great for data governance but slow to work with, or connect directly to the data which makes them fast but a nightmare for data governence. Omni has a semantic layer, but also has features to perform quick ad hoc analysis when needed. Omni takes the best of Looker and fixes many of the known pain points.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks some features of more developed tools such as intergation with git.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Omni is the most effective tool I know for scaling self-service business intelligence. This allows me as an analyst to create a user-friendly environment for the end user, with solid data governance and quick development.
Choose Omni
What do you like best about the product?
Omni is an incredibly full featured BI solution at a very reasonable cost. The platform offers several features important to us that are unique to Omni:
- ongoing warehouse sync: Omni can recheck your warehouse and inform you of modeling that has broken due to warehouse changes, providing helpful error messages to help guide you to corrections
- attractive UI layer: Omni's visual design (in our opinion) is superior to competitors
- service: Omni offers a truly incredible level of personal service where competitors seemingly offer little to none. Their team is constantly available in real time for anything from troubleshooting tricky issues to just helping you make your dashboards look better. If you are not already a BI expert, this is in invaluable resource.

What do you dislike about the product?
Omni is relatively newer and as such does not offer total feature parity with competitors who have been around longer. This probably matters to you more when considering what you might lose when switching, but if you are starting from scratch you can build your workflows around their feature set and won't miss a beat.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to Omni, we have had several fits and starts with how to manage internal analytics in our organization. Omni helped us consolidate and mature those efforts into an approach that is more modern, robust, sustainable, and maintainable. We now have far greater inisght across the org into what's happening on the ground level and have been able to incorporate data insights into our daily decision making far more effectively with Omni now in place.
omni for smugmug
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for users to create their own analysis
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of robust calculated fields similar to window functions in sql
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Both ad hoc analytics for users that want selected insights and dashboards for business users
Modern BI Tool at its best
What do you like best about the product?
A super powerful BI tool. Omni addresses many of the struggles in legacy BI tools with novel approaches. The team has built with the analyst in mind so well. With Omni, data engineering can end a step or two earlier and rest of the magic is taken care of by the Omni UI.
I also love how quickly Omni iterates and launches new features. Customer support of the finest levels too.

What do you dislike about the product?
Given how powerful it is, there's a bit of learning time to ramp up on Omni.
The refresh schema button (nitpicking haha)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualisation mainly. We love the reporting and export capabilities. So it's mostly through omni that we keep our various stakeholders satisfied.
Omni Analytics Makes Data Analysis Easy with Incredible Support
What do you like best about the product?
Omni Analytics is a sweet spot between Looker and Mode. It's easy for your team to use, like Looker, but also lets tech-savvy folks dig into data with SQL queries. Plus, the Omni team is super quick to support and brainstorm on new ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still a new tool, so there are expected growing pains with missing features. To their credit, they do build out those missing features quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized place for us to access our modeled dbt data.
Good service
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about the Omni Analytics platform is its ability to unify data. By being able to integrate information from various sources, both structured and unstructured, it allows us to consolidate business perspectives in a holistic way. Its microservices-oriented architecture approach makes massive data ingestion and processing highly scalable. This enables us to constantly refresh the historical data and forecasts that feed our machine learning predictive models
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the Omni Analytics platform provides us with many facilities in general, there is one aspect that I think could be improved and that is the lack of deeper integration with third-party tools that we commonly use. Despite the fact that it allows data to be loaded from different sources, the truth is that being able to connect visualizations or analysis modules natively with our CRM, ERP or other management systems with which we work on a daily basis would greatly facilitate the power to implement in a simpler and more intuitive way the knowledge we obtain from data analysis. This means that sometimes we find ourselves in the need to carry out manual processes to pass the information from one side to another, which implies more implementation time that could be invested in more valuable tasks...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Omni Analytics platform has certainly helped me solve various analytics issues and challenges we were facing. One of the main ones was the difficulty of efficiently integrating the wide variety of raw data generated by our various systems and channeling all that volume of information towards a unified model that would allow us to obtain global visibility. With Omni Analytics' powerful data loading, cleansing, and unification capabilities, I can now more easily centralize both structured and unstructured data. This allows me to have a single truth that holistically feeds my analysis, modeling and prediction tasks
Great BI Tool & Excellent Team
What do you like best about the product?
Omni is an affordable, easy to use tool with an INCREDIBLE team behind it. It is so clear that the team is thoughtfully building out a best in class BI tool that can grow with a company from their early startup days to their enterprise days. From the sales process to the ongoing support, you'll never have any issues with the Omni team and the product. They know what they're doing and it's capabilities are exactly what you want in a BI tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Omni is new, not every UI feature is built out - but they are quick to implement and have a super clear roadmap. Once I asked for a UI improvement (group labels) and they were implemented into the platform within a day or two. Excellent, responsive team!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Omni solves self-service reporting for our business. It enables users to answer questions and get the daily information they need to answer questions. This allows our team to have a shared understanding of performance and focus on tackling any issues.
Great up and coming product with an exciting road ahead
What do you like best about the product?
Omni is great for fast moving teams that want the flexibility of a shared data model like Looker offers without being too tied down to the data model. Being able to "promote" changes to the shared model in the UI vs. keeping them isolated in a workbook is key to our workflow and something that other tools do not offer at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some lack of features comparable to bigger names on the BI market, but confident they will be rolled out soon. Their team is also very responsive to feedback so if there is something we need implemented we can usually get it done pretty fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Omni Analytics solves the self-serve data use case for our team by allowing users to query our data without writing or knowing SQL. It enables us to be more strategic in our decision making
Best characteristics of your favorite analytics tools
What do you like best about the product?
I've seen the data landscape evolve over the last 10 years, and the team at Omni Analytics has done a great job of identifying the strengths of various analytics platforms and making a single offering that truly marries those workflows harmoniously. Up until now, there have been very specific (and successful) analytics tools that cater to a governed model, iterative SQL analysis, or workbook BI. Omni supports all of these workflows simultaneously, which unlocks all departments within an organization to be empowered as data analysts. Power SQL users will enjoy the product as much as the data team used to the governed model approach. Oh, and by the way, the visualization and business user experience is snappy and responsive to boot.
The Omni Analytics team has created so much in such little time - the sky's the limit on the capabilities of the product with this type of groundwork.

What do you dislike about the product?
As AI/ML tooling becomes more mainstream across organizations, there could be a unrealized gap in the product going forward as it is currently focused on solving for the BI use case. This is more a evolutionary problem but one that the Omni Analytics team will have to consider as they continue to build out their offering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting and KPI analysis.
