    During the project development phase it becomes easier to visualize the code development in almost real time with charts and drop down and drag and drop features makes it really easy for the effective development process during different phases of the project. Dashboard itself is of great help with features like drag and drop and visualize the artifacts in real time as we are developing those. It wouldn't be very effective with high massive coding and huge coding projects as we may encounter performance issues.

    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.

    • 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)

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

    Lower costs—reduces maintenance due to complete report coverage and a zero-footprint environment. Ability to create complex, multi-page layouts using different data sources. Multiple export formats—Excel, Portable Document Format (PDF), Extensible Markup Language (XML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and Comma Separated Value (CSV).

    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.
