What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Holistics

A data analytics platform combining a programmable semantic layer with AI-powered natural-language queries and point-and-click interfaces. Analysts define metrics and models once in code, while business users explore data independently through multiple interfaces, ensuring consistency and governance.

Independently observed

Rill

Leader

A business intelligence tool designed for both AI agents and human users, built on OLAP engines like ClickHouse and DuckDB. It uses code-driven configuration (YAML and SQL), provides a semantic layer for consistent metric definitions, supports conversational queries in natural language, and includes interactive dashboards with row-level access control.
