What it is
Holistics is a cloud self-service analytics and business intelligence platform built around a programmable semantic layer. Business users can explore curated datasets and build reports with a drag-and-drop interface without SQL, or ask data questions in plain language and receive answers based on governed business definitions. Data teams can define models, metrics, and dashboards in code and version-control them with Git. Supported SQL sources include PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, SQL Server, MySQL, Presto, Athena, ClickHouse, MotherDuck, and Oracle; listed integrations also include dbt, Slack, Google Sheets, DataHub, and webhooks. Reports export as CSV, Excel, or PDF, with scheduled delivery through Email, Slack, Google Sheets, or SFTP. Holistics says it stores metadata and optional query-result cache that expires after a set period, not raw database data. It lists real-time refresh, row-level security, scheduled reports, and embedded analytics, and states GDPR and SOC 2 compliance. Entry costs $960 a month, or 800 USD per month with annual billing, for 100 reports and the first 10 users.
