About Hex
Hex is a collaborative analytics workspace that combines notebooks, dashboards and data apps in one place. It aims to take a team from a quick question to a shared report without moving work between tools.
What it does
Analysts explore data in notebook style cells, then turn the same work into dashboards or interactive apps for other people. Business users can ask questions of the data in plain language, and semantic models help keep metric definitions consistent. A command line tool lets people control projects from a terminal when they prefer that workflow.
Key features
- Notebook style analysis that becomes dashboards
- Plain language questions about your data
- Semantic models and governance for shared metrics
- Interactive data apps to share with others
- Command line tool for controlling projects
Who it's for
Data teams, analysts and business teams that want a shared place for exploration and reporting. It also suits product teams that want to embed analytics in their own customer facing experiences.
Pricing and good to know
Hex offers a free way to get started, and paid plans add more team, governance and embedding features. The product is a hosted web service, so your data is queried through its platform. Teams with strict controls should review the governance and security options before they connect production data sources.
