Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.
Holistics doubles down on agentic, code-native BI while courting Power BI defectors
Holistics is positioning as a code-native BI platform where data models live in version control and AI agents handle setup and querying. Recent releases pair an aggressive Power BI migration path with deeper Oracle and GitHub integrations, broadening both who can switch and what they can connect.

Most recent work tightens existing surfaces rather than opening new ones — the product is maturing its core rather than chasing scope. The exception, querying files without a connected database, points to Cluvio positioning itself for ad-hoc analysis, not only dashboards over warehouses. Expect continued UX consolidation across settings, exports, and pickers, interleaved with occasional capability adds like new chart types.
Likely next moves are further build-out of Static Tables — more file formats or richer joins across uploads — alongside continued chart and alerting polish. The cadence reads as incremental shipping rather than a large directional pivot.
Holistics is positioning as a code-native BI platform where data models live in version control and AI agents handle setup and querying. Recent releases pair an aggressive Power BI migration path with deeper Oracle and GitHub integrations, broadening both who can switch and what they can connect.
The product is converging on two bets: agentic development, via Claude Code skills that scaffold projects and a more conversational Ask AI, and frictionless onboarding for teams leaving incumbent BI tools. Connector breadth plus migration tooling points to a deliberate push to capture displaced Power BI and legacy-warehouse users.
Expect more one-command agentic skills and additional migration paths from other incumbents like Looker or Tableau as Holistics leans into 'switch from X' as a growth motion.
