How a 4,000-person data company modernised its internal analytics by building a bridge from Excel to warehouse-native BI.
Astrato is a game changer. It integrated directly into our Data Cloud. Security and data privacy are critical for our work with behavioral health, addiction, and recovery support providers. Astrato allows us to maintain our high security in the Snowflake Data Cloud while opening more insights to more levels of care. Astrato is significantly faster with dashboards loading almost instantly.
Before, we had a separate analytics page, and nobody used it. Now, every customer at least checks the analytics, and for some, it’s the main thing they care about.
Our customers are already thrilled by the improvement in user experience we have seen from switching to Astrato, which is enabling their non-technical users to self-serve for the insights they need to make informed decisions and be far more productive. This is helping us win and retain more customers.
Astrato offers a 50-75% cost saving over Qlik, with 25-50% faster development, seamless self-service analytics, and easy adoption which enables quick, customizable insights and actions.
Astrato acts as the shop window for everything happening in Snowflake, while all computation and governance remain in code within our data warehouse. That means anyone can access insights without relying on complex BI tools.
Astrato is helping us win new customers as a result (of our Self-service embedded dashboard in Astrato), and we are on target to double the number of units (users) this year.
Given Astrato is 100% cloud-native live-query, tightly integrated with the speed and scalability of Snowflake, we can now rapidly process a customer's data and build streamlined actionable analytics, in just hours/days compared to weeks/months previously. We have been able to automate almost everything, which just wasn't possible with PowerBI and our skill sets.
