Visualization Capabilities
The ability to create compelling visualizations is key to data storytelling.
Omni
Combines spreadsheet-like calculations, SQL, and drag/drop. Users can create charts with one-click from data tables. Good selection of standard visuals, with focus on ease (smart defaults). Custom styling is somewhat guided (aims for simplicity over exhaustive options).
Evidence.dev
Reports built as Markdown with embedded SQL and charts. Outputs static HTML dashboards. Customization via editing Markdown/HTML/CSS; not a point-and-click UI.
Visivo
Highly custom UI with easy defaults

Security & Architecture
Critical considerations for enterprise deployments.
Omni
DB Access: Yes, Omni directly queries your databases (encrypted connections). Virtualization: Queries data in place (no data copy) – essentially virtualization with a semantic layer. Push: No, it's live query (though cached metrics can be materialized on demand). Other: Strong security focus – column & row-level controls, SAML SSO, data encrypted at rest. SOC 2 compliant.
Evidence.dev
DB Access: Queries run at build time (or page load if in server mode); not needed for end viewer (static pages). Virtualization: By nature, it materializes results into the page (no live DB query once published). Push: Yes – essentially a push of data into static site. Other: No runtime user management (pages are static); security depends on where you host (you wouldn't include sensitive data in a public build).
Visivo
No db access required. Very strong security features due to the DAG-based access controls and the push based deployment model.
Why Visivo Stands Out
While each platform has its strengths, Visivo offers unique advantages for modern data teams.
