Best Business Intelligence & Service
What do you like best about the product?
Omni is super quick to integrate into your existing workflows. We were able to replace our business intelligence tool in two months while keeping our same data foundations. Although Omni can be attached to any company, it is constantly releasing updates and adapting to the ever-evolving data landscape, which pushes and inspires everyone to innovate rapidly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Omni is one of the best BI tools out there. I don't have a downside right now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Omni is solving automated data and insights within our Advertising business. My role is to ultimately provide self-service reporting to the Advertising group, and Omni is the best partner I've found in order to do this.
Powerful analytics that actually gets used by the whole team
What do you like best about the product?
The standout feature is how approachable it makes complex data analysis. Unlike other BI tools where only data analysts can build meaningful reports, Omni lets our entire team explore data confidently. The modeling layer is incredibly intuitive - you define metrics once and everyone uses the same definitions, which eliminated our "which number is right?" debates. Performance is snappy even with large datasets, and the visualization options hit that sweet spot between powerful and not overwhelming.
The team is also very pleasant to work with and engaging. Often not the case in BI tools.

What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for advanced features can be steep - while basic usage is intuitive, mastering the modeling layer and more complex joins takes time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're making faster, better decisions. When anyone can quickly validate a hypothesis or spot a trend without waiting days for an analyst, the whole company moves faster. Our product launch cycles have shortened because we can measure impact in real-time and iterate quickly. That's the kind of competitive advantage that's hard to quantify but absolutely critical.
Fantastic tool and even better company
What do you like best about the product?
This is a next generation BI tool that my company chose after evaluating about a dozen BI options. We moved from Tableau to Omni in 3 months and the business absolutely loves it - to the point that within a month of launch we needed more licenses since it was so popular. The model/semantic layer allows these less technical users to create new analyses based on curated datasets and get people much closer to data. It has a nice visualization library, iFrame integration (Hex, Google docs, etc), and native Markdown, allowing for a lot of versatility. It sits right on top of the database, so there no extra refresh step, and the smart caching is actually smart. The dbt metadata flows seamlessly and has both SQL based and Excel based syntax to meet people where they are at. On top of the technical value, the people at Omni are fantastic and have responsive ongoing support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Understanding the modeling layer is a challenge at first. Bugs happen since they are constantly adding new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lean and robust analytics and reporting platform. With the iFrame and other integration capabilities, it serves as a one stop shop, which is ideal.
Best BI solution for self-serve analytics
What do you like best about the product?
We adopted Omni for the multiple ways for end users with different skills and backgrounds to access data (drag-and-drop, sql, spreadsheet-style formulas...), but we stay for the powerful modeling layer that also stays out of your way until you need it, and near-instant high quality support on Slack. Implementation was a breeze, and it is some of our most-used internal software, with a large majority of our company as DAUs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboard product is very good, but some important features are still to be rolled out (though there are generally workarounds).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's our primary data exploration and business intelligence tool — enables a wide range of users at our company to explore and share data & reporting.
Great BI tool that is always improving and has met the needs of our team and company.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like working in the "Develop" mode where I can define, provide descriptions, and create and modify and dimensions all in one place. It is easy to maintain and control our datasets and 'topics' which results in consistency across all dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, Omni is slow to respond. A 1-2 second delay adds up when modifying many field name, cleaning up formatting, or just working in general in Omni. There are also some chart types that are not available. One in particular, trellis, is one they are woking on adding soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Omni helps us surface data to users both inside and outside our company. The ability to easily create dashboards with filters, controls, and visualizations allows the users to find actions insights that drive revenue and growth. Omni's ease of use for non-technical users allows for data to be more accessible to everyone outside the data team.
Everything you want in a modern BI tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Omni is it's flexibility. It's easy to build out and work with the shared model when that makes sense, but it's also super easy to build a quick report from custom SQL when there's a new question or data set. And if you want to use that custom SQL in the shared model, that is super easy to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it is a newer, smaller company there is more of a learning curve for users compared to going with a larger, more established tool like Tableau or Looker. But Omni's training and support team make it very easy to get the team up to speed quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to do standard metric reporting, while also allowing stakeholders to have direct access to data to help them answer questions themselves.
Best in class business intelligence tool for small to medium sized teams
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization has used a variety of business intelligence tools over the years, including Tableau, PowerBI, and most recently Looker. While all of these platforms are powerful, we often found them bloated and cumbersome to use. Looker’s LookML is excellent for data modeling, but it also locks you into the platform and centralizes modeling in a way that limits flexibility.
We use dbt for our data transformations, and Omni’s two-way integration with dbt has been a game changer. It allows us to leverage our central data model while also giving us the flexibility to do quick, ad hoc analysis directly in Omni when needed. Whether we are using our dbt models or building something fast in Omni, we can push the results back to our data warehouse with ease.
We transitioned all of our worksheets from Looker to Omni in about two months, largely because of how intuitive Omni is. The user experience draws on the best elements of other platforms. It includes Looker’s ease of drilling and exploring, Tableau’s tabbed workbook layout, and familiar Excel-like functions for non-SQL users. It covers everything we need without the extra weight of features we do not use.
Most importantly, Omni’s customer support is the best I have experienced from any vendor, not just in the business intelligence space but overall. We are in a Slack channel with their team, and their engineers and even their CEOs respond within minutes. They are hands-on, collaborative, and eager to help solve complex problems.
Omni has been a transformative partner for us. I highly recommend it to any team looking for a modern BI tool that blends power with simplicity and offers unmatched support.

What do you dislike about the product?
Omni is still a relatively new product, so there are some rough edges. I often tell my team to expect a little bit of jank here and there. But in our experience, the trade-off is well worth it. This might not be the right tool for a massive corporation that requires a perfectly polished platform with zero errors. However, if you can tolerate the occasional quirk, I highly recommend it.
We do run into small bugs from time to time, and a few expected features are still missing. For example, some visualization types and formatting options are not yet available. That said, the Omni team is incredibly responsive. They actively listen to feedback, frequently add our requests to their roadmap, and often come up with smart workarounds in the meantime. It really feels like they are building the product alongside their users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Omni for internal business intelligence dashboards, including membership counts, revenue goals, database management, and tracking business education trends. It helps us bring all this data into one place so we can make faster, more informed decisions.
A very effective BI Tool that combines the quick ad hoc experience of excel sheets with scalable SQL
What do you like best about the product?
Hard to speak to one thing. Omni Analytics is by far the best BI tool I have used and I have used many from Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Superset, etc. The list goes on. Being able to have data modeled into topics within the Semantic Layer, have git branch like dev and prod releases, connect multiple data sources (within one connection), flexibility when working with data, separation of concerns with model layer and workbook layer, great customer support, straightforward implementation and integrations, etc
What do you dislike about the product?
Don't really have down sides. It would be nice to have a best practice guide on how to best work with the platform to scale your data and achieve optimal performance but that is more of a modeling issue than platform specific at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifying the process to get data in the hands of internal customers.
From the platform to the customer service, Omni has been absolutely wonderful!
What do you like best about the product?
Omni is easy to learn and use, and the documentation is very helpful! The team is constantly innovating and is so quick with new releases or updates. The customer service is exceptional and very responsive!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that I wish were more self-service in the UI, like more aggregation types (e.g. percentiles), and other things that you don't need to write in the model itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Omni allows us to present data in a digestible, easy to read view. The AI capabilities are also permitting us to add context to our dashboards, stronger than ever before.
Business Intelligence: Episode IV – A New Hope
What do you like best about the product?
The semantic layer approach provides consistent and reusable definitions for aggregating data. Not just within a report, across all reports. Business logic that used to be tribal knowledge buried under layers of field calculations is instead brought to light, agreed upon, version controlled, and made reusable. An opinionated BI tool that encourages best practices instead of enabling as many bad ones as possible is like a breath of fresh air.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Omni is version controlled and enables data environment switching, that functionality has not yet been extended to make the dbt integration fully git-aware. Lots of potential on their roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version controlled semantic layer to develop unified measure and relationship definitions. dbt metadata integration. Advanced visualization options. Okta user management.
