Logi Composer

Logi Composer is embedded analytics software for teams building dashboards and data analysis into their applications. It suits software teams that want customers to explore data without leaving the product. Its integration, deployment and access-control options are substantial, but custom pricing makes cost a key consideration.

Overview

Composer brings configurable dashboards and visualizations into an application, with tools for teams to shape the experience and let end users create analytic content or conduct ad hoc analysis. That makes it a focused choice for product teams adding analytics to software, rather than a natural fit for organizations seeking only a standalone reporting destination.

Key features

Embedding and customization

iFrameless embedding, JavaScript libraries and REST APIs give teams several integration routes. White-label analytics and custom themes help the embedded experience fit the host product, while configurable dashboard interactivity gives teams control over what users can do. This flexibility is valuable when analytics is part of the product experience, though it implies a software team prepared to integrate and configure it.

Data connectivity and preparation

More than 50 Smart Data Connectors span streaming, search, document, cloud warehouse, Hadoop, NoSQL and SQL sources. Users can enrich data with custom metrics, filters, sorting, columns and labels. That breadth can simplify connecting varied data sources and shaping them for analysis, especially when product teams need more than a fixed set of charts.

Deployment and security

A container-ready microservices architecture can scale up or down and work with existing data infrastructure and security frameworks. Hybrid deployment, application and data access controls, and row-level security support organizations that need to govern embedded analytics within their own environment. Authentication options include LDAP, Kerberos (SPNEGO), OAuth2, X509 and SAML2; authorization groups can come from LDAP or Active Directory or be delegated to Ranger or Sentry. User activity is audited in application logs. These are meaningful controls for teams with established security requirements, not a substitute for deciding how to configure and operate the deployment.

Pricing

Logi Composer has custom pricing, available by contacting insightsoftware. No public plan limits are stated, so teams should request a quote to assess cost and fit against their expected deployment and usage. Support hours are Monday through Friday, 08:30–17:00 EST/EDT, except public holidays; online support and Composer documentation are also provided.

Platforms

Composer supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows environments. Its deployment architecture is container-ready and its listed deployment option is hybrid, giving teams choices for fitting analytics into existing infrastructure.

Who it's for

Composer is best suited to software teams building embedded analytics who need branded dashboards, in-application self-service, broad data connectivity and controls that work with existing security frameworks. Teams that need only conventional standalone reports, or that require clear public pricing before shortlisting a product, should consider alternatives.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Multiple embedding methods, white-label support and custom themes support a product-specific analytics experience.
• Pros: More than 50 connectors and data-preparation tools accommodate varied sources and analytic needs.
• Pros: Hybrid deployment, row-level security, several authentication protocols and auditing offer substantial governance options.
• Cons: Custom pricing and absent public plan limits make it difficult to estimate cost before contacting the vendor.
• Cons: Its embedded-analytics focus is less suitable for teams looking for reporting as a separate, standalone destination.

Alternatives

Embedded Analytics Software and Reporting Software are useful category roundups for comparing products by use case.

ClicData is worth considering if a freemium option and free plan matter. Bold BI offers cloud and on-premises editions, including cloud hosting without per-user or per-viewer fees. icCube may suit teams seeking an embedded analytics product with a free trial or a published $4,900 a month Flat plan.

Yellowfin Embedded Analytics is an alternative with a free trial and a usage-aligned pricing model. ThoughtSpot is a paid alternative with Essentials at $25 a month, billed annually, for 5 to 50 users and up to 25M rows of data; its Pro plan is $50 a month, billed annually.

Yurbi may be worth comparing for teams that want a named-user embedded analytics plan, with Starter at $10,000 a year for up to 75 named users. Embeddable offers a project-scoped subscription with a custom quote after a scoping conversation. DataReportive has a free trial that includes two users, unlimited reports, exports, scheduling, alerts, embedding and white-label features.

Verdict

Choose Logi Composer if your software team needs to embed branded, interactive analytics and values flexible integration, deployment and security controls. Its strongest reason to choose it is the breadth of tools for fitting analytics into an existing application and infrastructure. Look elsewhere if publicly comparable pricing is essential or your primary need is standalone reporting.
