What Yandex DataLens is
Yandex DataLens is a web-based business analytics tool for turning connected data into visualizations, dashboards, and reports. Its interactive dashboards can be refreshed on a schedule or embedded elsewhere, and reports can be produced as print-ready multipage documents. Users can create charts with a self-service builder or customize them with JavaScript, and Neuroanalyst can help analyze data and create visualizations. Connections cover databases such as ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and Snowflake, as well as sources including Google Sheets, Yandex Metrica, AppMetrica, Prometheus, and files. Corporate accounts can use SSO or Yandex ID, with permissions set for groups or individuals; directory-, object-, and row-level controls are available. The Free plan is free for one seat, and a 30-day teamwork trial is available when more users are added. Each viewer or editor requires a seat, and team billing is seat-based. External databases need a certificate signed by a certificate authority; self-signed certificates are not supported.
