    Chose Mode
    In my opinion Mode Analytics has an edge on much of the competition due to the intuitive and powerful custom dashboard creation interface. I can create dashboards for stakeholders that are self explanatory and easy to make conclusions from. In other respects, it's very much at …

    Just about any organization with more than one server and more than one cluster as it scales very well. Configuration of the application takes time and finesse to fine tune to where the balance of load time and getting data quickly meets. The plugins add load time but fine tuning for the application to meet demand needs nailed down at implementation

    Mode is a clear category winner for how it easy it is to go from interactive analysis to professional quality reporting. You can easily do all your SQL and quite a bit of R/Python. If you want to quickly go from your database to simple charts, this is your pick. If you need to do heavier data modeling, scheduling jobs, or ML, you'll need something else, like Databricks. In my opinion, the quality of visualizations and some developer/analyst features make Databricks an unacceptable substitute.

    Cons
    Grafana Labs
    • There are some settings which we can't configure from UI (Web Console).
    • We've open[ed] up configuration files in command line text editors and manually do the settings e.g. LDAP/SSO configuration.
    • In terms of visualization, it's best, but it doesn't support log analysis otherwise it could destroy business of all other visualization tools.

    • Date ranges aren't always the most intuitive to set, strangely
    • Faster refresh rates would be ideal
    • Would love more dynamic mobile device integration (alerts, etc)

    Usability
    Grafana Labs
    It is infinitely flexible. If you can imagine it, Grafana can almost certainly do it. Usability may be in the eye of the beholder however, as there is time needed to curate the experience and get the dashboards customized to how it makes sense to you. I know one thing they are working on are more templates, based on data sources

    For the advanced user already familiar with Python. It is just the same tool, already managed and connected to the data.

    Grafana blows Nagios out of the water when it comes to customization. The ability to feed almost any data source makes it very versatile and the cost is great.

    We used both Qlik and Mode at our organization. The mode was used a quick analysis SQL tool while Qlik was our enterprise BI solution.

    • Extremely positive. It's a key feature in our application.
    • Were it not for the account management bit, Mode would be hands-down our recommendation for anyone looking for cloud BI.
