Lightdash

“"Before, business teams had to wait days for custom queries. Now they can build their own dashboards, knowing they're using the right logic."”

“"The quick release cycles and dedicated support demonstrate a team that truly understands enterprise needs. The team's responsiveness and willingness to implement community-requested features has created a collaborative environment that benefits all users."”

““If you’re tired of fragmented reporting, duplicated work, and inconsistent numbers, Lightdash is the fastest way to get to a single source of truth - especially if you’re already using dbt.””

““Turnaround time went from days to hours. Conflicting numbers in meetings are essentially gone.””

“"Because Lightdash is tightly integrated with dbt, our data team was productive almost immediately, they could work within familiar workflows and didn't need to learn a new modeling language."”

“"Once those models were in place, Lightdash made defining metrics, building dashboards, and rolling out to users a smooth and efficient process."”

““The native dbt integration was the game-changer. Our data team could work in familiar workflows without learning a new modeling language. Everything just worked.””

“"We went from having data requests fill our Slack channels to having teams naturally turn to data before making decisions.””

“"Self-service is actually more useful for data analysts than business users. Now I don't have to write lots of queries for things that can be grabbed instantly. As the most powerful user of the tool, I can customize things exactly how I want them."”

“"Now there's this luxury of teams showing up to meeting rooms, pulling up Lightdash, and answering questions on the spot. Questions that used to take hours or days to get answers for."”

“"It was clear that Lightdash would help us scale self-serve. It’s easy for business users to browse models and get the answers they want by dragging dimensions and metrics and adding filters. They could also double-click and drill down on each metric. That was exactly what we needed."”

““With Looker pricing, we’d be paying a lot for self-serve because it goes up with how many users we have. It's not like Lightdash, where you pay a fixed price and you can invite as many people as you want."”

““Stake is full of curious minds constantly looking to understand the business better, but the flood of data requests became impossible to keep up with. That’s when it became clear we needed a scalable, self-serve approach.””

““Since switching to Lightdash, customer feedback has completely flipped. They love the modern interface, the filters actually make sense, and we can respond to feature requests without it being a whole engineering project. It's made embedded analytics a strength of our platform instead of a pain point."”

“"There weren't that many BI solutions out there that supported both of our use cases in the way we wanted. The fact that Lightdash is open source helped, and we wanted something we could host ourselves to avoid a third party getting access to all of our customer's data."”

““Dashboards as code means we have model changes and dashboard changes in the same PR. From a dev workflow, it’s really nice.””

““We define the filter parameters in the token, which are automatically applied across all tables. From a security point of view, it’s a really effective way to ensure data isolation.””

““From a security point of view, it’s quite nice. You can enforce that all the data is filtered correctly without having to make changes in all different places.””

“"If your data team lives and breathes in dbt, you need to take a look at Lightdash."”

“"We can now answer questions in minutes that used to take days or weeks."”

“"The Lightdash team has been a true partner. Their support is best-in-class, with direct access to their data and BI experts."”

“"Lightdash's ability to sit directly on top of our existing dbt projects meant we could define all our metrics and dimensions in one place."”

“We're talking directly in Slack. I really prefer that rather than having a portal and placing tickets. We work the same way inside JustWatch. It's like another department of our company sometimes - there's no difference in how we treat other departments and how we talk to Lightdash.”

“My favorite feature of Lightdash is the collaboration with the Lightdash team. That's really what makes a difference compared to other vendors.”

“It can handle vague questions. Instead of throwing an error or generating nonsense SQL, it coaches users through clarifying what they actually want to know.”
