Vizzly – the Luzmo alternative

Build user-facing analytics, without compromise

Competitor
Luzmo

Overview

Just like Vizzly, Luzmo can be used for Embedded Analytics.

Embedding Analytics is an effective approach to providing valuable data to your users. Not only is this a great method for boosting engagement and retention metrics, but also a great opportunity to drive incremental revenue through cross-selling. Unfortunately, incumbent tools have forced users into a trade-off between time-to-market and control over product experience.

Whereas, Vizzly offers a solution for users to build modern analytics experiences without compromise.

What is Luzmo?

Luzmo is a business intelligence tool used for internal business analysis. As a secondary use case, the solution can be used for customer-facing analytics. The product is targeted at data analysts.

What is Vizzly?

Vizzly provides embedded analytics for SaaS, specifically designed for customer-facing apps. The platform offers extensive flexibility and customization options. When it comes to end-users, minimal data literacy is required.

Ease of implementation

Luzmo

To connect data to Luzmo, the user needs a baseline understanding of SQL. While a product person can set up the dashboard, Sisense also demands technical expertise during integration into customer-facing applications. For instance, developer input is essential for multi-tenant setup and authentication. However, the embedding process is relatively simple, as the code snippet is an iFrame.

Vizzly

Assuming you are using Vizzly Cloud, a non-technical stakeholder can get set up in no time. Developer input is only necessary for multi-tenant setup (for which we provide SDKs), or when you want to leverage Vizzly's developer tools for maximum control over the product experience. Vizzly also offers a self-hosted solution; the average setup time for this more technical version is still only 2-3 hours.

Customization

Luzmo

Luzmo offers basic styling through the UI in the dashboard builder. For some companies, this is sufficient as design is not front of mind (now or in the future). Because the dashboard embed sits in a customer-facing application, most companies desire much more control over the underlying CSS.

Vizzly

Vizzly offers multiple features to provide you full control over the look, feel and user experience of the dashboard. The most used being Vizzly's Theme API which allows the user to pass through CSS objects from their design system. Alternatively, you can also customize components within the dashboard, such as drop-downs, icons, date pickers, etc.

Extensibility

Luzmo

A significant drawback of incumbent solutions, such as Luzmo, is product extensibility. An analytics experience is more than a dashboard; however, because the Luzmo embed is an iFrame, it sits inside your app as a separate entity. Not only does this have a performance impact, but it also won't interact with the rest of your app logic.

Vizzly

Vizzly can be embedded in React, Vue, Angular or Svelte. The JS-component is highly extensible with code should you want to customize anything and it will work your existing codebase and app logic. If you're a React user, Vizzly also offers a React Hook should you want direct access to the API for View and Dashboard creation.

Custom reporting

Luzmo

Luzmo are yet to introduce a feature to empower end-users to edit existing Views or build new Views entirely from scratch. While this feature might not be for everyone, for many it's the most scalable way of addressing the vast and varied data requirements of their customers (without needing to build tens if not hundreds of reports).

Vizzly

One of Vizzly's core features is custom reporting (sometimes referred to as self-serve analytics). When enabled, end-users - your customers - can edit Views and Dashboards or create their own Views using the data you provide to them. With Vizzly, you can enable this functionality for some end-users and not others. You are always in control.
