Als selbsternannter Looker-"Guru" war ich sehr gespannt darauf, mit Omni zu arbeiten, einem Tool, das von einer superintelligenten Gruppe ehemaliger Looker-Mitarbeiter entwickelt wurde. Omni nimmt den semantischen Schichtmodellierungsansatz für BI und demokratisiert ihn noch weiter. Es kombiniert den codebasierten Modellierungsansatz von Looker mit den Self-Service-Arbeitsmappen von Tableau und befähigt eine breitere Vielfalt von Nutzern, das Modell zu nutzen und zu verbessern, ohne in die Falle der Komplexitätssteigerung zu geraten. Die Erfahrung ist reibungslos und reaktionsschnell, und das zugrunde liegende Caching scheint eine ordentliche Arbeit zu leisten, um eine konsistente Leistung über Dashboards mit vielen Abfragen hinweg sicherzustellen.

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.

Getting up and running on Omni was a breeze and allowed for usuable analytics and reporting within the first few days of making the db connections. The Omni UI and user experience feels intuitive and self service reporting is very natural. Our organzation has some ops/business users and a few power users who can write SQL and neither one of these groups is underserved by Omni app. The Support experience so far has been unmatched and very responsive, technically capable, and genuinely interested in our success as Omni clients.
