Omni Analytics Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

As a business user, it probably took me an hour to get used to the "Omni way" and start churning valuable insights for our business!

I used many BI tools in the past (the main one being Looker) and I was never sold into the wave of the "Data Visualisation" solution. Those expect you to know what the result of your analysis should look like before you even start. What I loved about Looker was that it was all about exploring to find valuable nuggets in your data, and if you found something good you saved it, you used it and you shared it.

So when we started looking for our Analytics solution, Omni was a natural choice. Omni goes a step further making these early analysis even easier in my opinion, as one doesn't need to wait for metrics to be available in a central model to start exploring data. It's super easy to create your own metrics or derive metrics from existing ones and start building super powerful insights quickly. If what I build's good, we just promote the new metrics into the model so they can be reused everywhere by all users. The combination of the workbook and modelled BI approach is very powerful.

The other thing that's most enjoyable about working with Omni is the team. They hit all the marks that you'd expect from a top vendor! Super responsive support, very friendly and helpful advices, new & super valuable features being released almost daily... it's a pleasure to see the speed at which the product is evolving.

It already a great solution, it's getting better everyday and you're supported by one of the most knowledgeable team there is - it is absolutely the best value-for-money one can find in the BI Market right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a young company some features are obviously missing but they tend to be nice to have and everytime I need something it tends to be released within a week or two of me asking! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The little to no code required to you to build a model and share it with your team is amazing. Instead of having to spend hours theory crafting a model you can build queries and have those outputs be pushed to the model all with a couple of clicks. This is far superior to other BI tools out there that rely on a central model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Omni is still very early on and thus there are features that it is missing compared to some of the incumbents in the space, but...that's not a dislike but seems worthy of this space in the review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a self-qualified Looker "Guru", I was very excited to play with Omni, a tool created by a super smart crew of Ex-Lookers.

Omni takes the semantic layer modelling approach to BI and democratises it even further. It combines Looker's code-based modelling layer approach with the Self-Service Workbooks of Tableau, empowering a wider variety of users to consume and improve the model without falling into the pitfall of complexity creep.

The experience is smooth and responsive, and the underlying caching seems to do a decent job of ensuring consistent performance across Dashboards with many queries.

Omni is a young tool; it may take a little time before it reaches full feature parity with some more established BI solutions out there. But the foundations are there and the vision is evident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Omni is the next-generation analytics, modeling, and visualization tool. It supports users who are new to SQL to analytics experts. It pairs incredibly well with dbt to provide a centralized source for analysis for our whole company.

I love the automatic schema update feature. When we create a new model in dbt, Omni automatically pulls it in with the correct dimensions and even takes a shot at predicting how it should be joined to other models. The break between Topics (Explores in Looker) and how models are joined is a 10/10 feature and saves us a ton of time in the modeling stage. Users who need an on-the-rails experience get it. Users who know how to do custom joins, measures, and dimensions get them. They can even promote their customizations to the main model so everyone can benefit in a really low-friction way.

The support we've received from the Omni team has been truly incredible. Their customer service alone is a reason to switch. Every time we've needed help (even if it's just folks new to SQL who need a hand) the team has responded in minutes. If we find a bug, it's usually fixed in nothing flat. If we need a feature, we often see them add it within hours or days -- not weeks.

Before you spin up anything else, give Omni a shot. It's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Omni is a new product and sometimes I find myself reaching for something that I would expect in a more seasoned platform and find it missing. However, every time that's happened the Omni team has met our need with a first-class feature in hours or days. They're an incredible team and it's been amazing working with them.

I appreciate being able to produce complicated query results without needing to know SQL or leave the workbook environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Feature Requests: Promote individual changes in a workbook, Topic specific table aliasing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really flexible analytics anchored by a strong modeling layer that's simple to learn and easy to implement. I love being able to edit SQL in the front end, then push to the model when ready - and keep some analyses in separate workbooks until they make sense to add to the model. Works well for small teams and can clearly scale to a bigger org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since they're new, there are still some features that aren't live yet (like certain chart customizations, etc), but their product team is incredibly responsive and has shipped a ton of features in a short time, so I feel confident that they'll have everything covered in short order.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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...

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is easy and unique dashboards it help you create and do all analytics. The view is very fresh and simple and help you understand all important metrics. Its is really robust and has a very friendly UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration can be challenging sometimes. Its difficult to sometimes have 100% data refelected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
