Lightweight Alternative to Quickly Create Value for Business Users

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Glean.io for some time to explore its potential. We used Glean.io to gain insights from the huge data sets we had to handle. Glean.io was a nice way to easily visualize some of our data. Creating a model is very easy and it is nice that data can be derived from database connections directly. Further, it was nice that the data connection could be manipulated and performed with SQL. One very interesting feature we explored as well as Data Ops.

Pros

  • Workflow is easy and clear due to clean and state of the art interface
  • Model creation is easy
  • Possibility for custom SQL code for database connection is very helpful

Cons

  • Nothing in particular

Return on Investment

  • Businesses had direct insight into the data as well - faster insights and less repetitive efforts for the data team.
  • More up-to-date insight. Dashboards are grounded on live data, so businesses get the current data always.
  • Business became more confident to look and interact with data by themselves.
