Holistics

What Holistics is
Holistics is a cloud analytics and business intelligence platform built around a programmable semantic layer. Business users can explore curated datasets and create reports with drag-and-drop tools, without SQL, or ask questions in plain language and get 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. Other listed integrations include dbt, Slack, Google Sheets, DataHub, and webhooks. Reports export to CSV, Excel, or PDF, and 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. It lists real-time refresh, row-level security, scheduled reports, and embedded analytics. The Entry plan is $960 a month, with a yearly option shown as $800 /month; there is no free plan, and a 14-day trial is listed.
