The whole thing is amazing when it comes to using Mode with all available features, I'm using a lot of things because of my job duties, I create dashboards, and update the daily, weekly, and monthly reports with one click to refresh the queries.
Pros
It is the easiest way to create or update dashboards and let the employees know the update once it happened to be communicated with the customers, also very smooth and easy to integrate with any database to get the required data for visualization.
Cons
Sometimes, especially when using low internet speed connections the pages take so much time to load and this might some issues for the users, I recommend creating a special view "lowered web version" for such internet speed.

Mode is the SQL kit you wish you always had

SQL queries, database lookup, results graphing, BI.
Pros
Mode makes it easy to add data from a wide variety of sources, run live queries on that data, and produce detailed graphs and sheets with your results. Its free plan is comprehensive and great for public data collections.
Cons
Mode can be limited in its visualizations and sources. If you're looking for more comprehensive BI toolsets, you may want to consider more expensive options. The cons at this price point are essentially zero though.

I have been in meetings with senior management where I have been able to prove what I have been working on and highlight which KPIs have been achieved.
Pros
Mode gives me an easy way of understanding licensing on our platform. On top of that, it can provide insights so I can keep on top of my monthly KPI's and make sure I am on target and helps me prove to the company some of the tasks I have been able to complete.
Cons
Once logging into the database, it can be fairly difficult to use. It's has a very dark user interface which is hard to navigate.

Pros
I love the ease of use here. I hadn't used SQL prior to this and their SQL training was really beneficial for me to go through.
Cons
At times, it's confusing in how to share your project, who it is sharing to, what they have access to, etc.

I think the software is great, it helps us show non-technical folks data.
Pros
Lots of visualizations to use, easy for non-technical people on our team to use it.
Cons
There is an issue with PDF exporting cutting off tables and visualizations and i have been asking for it to be fixed for almost a month now and no one has fixed it. It affects my ability to send reports to my co-workers, and that puts the software in jeopardy. If we can't show people in the company that it's great and functional we may lose the software

Cons
Occasionally some of the coding can be difficult unless you have a very experienced Data Analyst to work with.

Created dashboards by our engineering teams work great. They load fast and the visuals provided are great. Perfect for me in gathering data quickly and being able to make decisions based on them.
Pros
If you are not a person who knows how data dashboards work and are created it will be very difficult to learn and setup your own custom dashboards. Using it in "read only" mode is perfect for non data engineer people. If you have a dedicated Data team to help set up dashboards it will suit your needs as Mode is quite fast and easy to use if the dashboards are set up by "professionals".
Cons
There is no hand holding for people that have never set up data dashboards. It is a very difficult product to use for entry level people into the world of data. Your data team will be needed to create and deploy functioning dashboards.

Overall experience has been great. Mode allows me to create a minimal viable product and share with colleagues and stakeholders quickly.
Pros
I like the Python Notebook. It allows me to wrangle data from many data sources and quickly share results with the rest of the company.
Cons
There may be memory limitations when using the notebook with underlying data sets.

I use more to pull and clean data and to create dashboards. Though sometimes it is hard to get the software to do exactly what I want for the dashboards, with the help of customer service I'm usually able to find creative solutions to get to what I need.
Pros
Customer service is great. They get back to me with answers very quickly and are thorough in their responses.
Cons
Some of the built-in reporting tools (e.g. pivot table) are quite limited. For example, you can't create functions in the pivot table.

Reliable, easy to use software.
Reviewed on 20/12/2019
Pros
Mostly reliable, queries run quickly and efficiently over large data sets.
Easy to put together charts quickly
SQL and Python support in one place is great - no need to export .csv files into a jupyter notebook all the time
Cons
charting options can be limited sometimes, and I don't always have the time to put something together in python.
pivot tables are AWFUL, just get rid - it's not even worth offering them

Mode Review from someone new to SQL
Reviewed on 10/03/2020
Pros
I really love that when I search for a column without knowing the table name - it will spit back the results of tables that may include the column I'm looking for.
Cons
For someone less technical, it isn't the easiest to build dashboards with inputs and make my queries more user-friendly for my teammates.

Having a true, one-stop program for individual and shared taxonomies of every type has really streamlined our metrics and made our work lives easier to manage. We use Mode now for everything that has to do with numbers, mapping and tracking/planning.
Pros
I can track, plan, review and record data of every type with this software. Every day starts and ends with Mode. It allows an individual view along with shared data. We have historical data, charts, goals, scheduling, etc., all of which has become critical to tracking our metrics.
Cons
It takes some time to learn how to use it and manage the details. The support is there, but it’s not the most user-friendly software for beginners.

The reports are easy to read and keeps our org wide data super accessible. There's a lot of variety and options as far as visuals are concerned and the product seems flexible enough to work with most, if not all of our applications.
