Holistics
What it is
Holistics is a cloud-based self-service analytics and business intelligence platform built around a programmable semantic layer. Business users can explore curated datasets and create reports with a drag-and-drop interface without SQL, or ask questions in plain language and receive answers grounded in governed business definitions. Data teams can define models, metrics, and dashboards in code and track them with Git version control. Supported SQL sources include PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, SQL Server, MySQL, Presto, Athena, ClickHouse, MotherDuck, and Oracle. Other integrations include dbt, Git, Slack, Google Sheets, DataHub, and webhooks. Reports can be exported as CSV, Excel, or PDF; scheduled delivery supports email, Slack, Google Sheets, or SFTP. Holistics says it stores metadata and optional query-result cache that expires after a set period, rather than raw database data. Listed capabilities include real-time refresh, row-level security, scheduled reports, and embedded analytics. Pricing starts at $800/mo (annual), and a 14-day trial is available; the Entry plan lists $960 a month when billed monthly.
