Insights at the speed of business

Mode fosters collaboration that leads to faster data-driven business decisions. By empowering data teams to dive deep into ad hoc questions with a fully featured SQL editor, Python/R notebooks, and Visual Explorer - analysts are able to iterate quickly and generate deep insights. From insights to action, it’s a few clicks away within Mode as sharing insights does not require any replication or tool switching.

As a point solution often deployed alongside another BI tool, sharing insights is challenging. This requires toggling between tools and importing findings—which means creating a new data model and replicating insights every time insights are shared.

Collective Intelligence

Mode unifies data teams and their stakeholders with a central platform built with collective intelligence. Mode provides a starting point for everyone as analysts are able to begin analysis using a code-first approach while non-technical users can explore existing insights or build their own reports from Datasets vetted and curated by the data team —no tool switching or new model building required.

Mode is incredibly valuable as a full stack, full-service platform from a data analyst all the way to an end user. Analysts can go deep, end users get the data they need, and our team gets to make everyone a part of the data strategy.
