Self-service BI that doesn't mean self-service chaos

Legacy tools promised self-service but delivered dashboard sprawl, ungoverned metrics, and a learning curve that sent business users straight back to the analyst queue.

Astrato gives your data team the governance controls they need – and your business users an experience simple enough to actually use.

Your data team sets the guardrails. Users move freely within them.

Legacy BI gave you a choice: lock everything down and become the bottleneck, or open it up and watch governance collapse. Astrato gives your data team a third option.

One definition of revenue. Everywhere.

Your Semantic Layer is where the arguments end. Define your metrics, dimensions, and business logic once – and every dashboard, every team, every user pulls from the same source of truth. No more conflicting spreadsheets. No more "where did you get that number?" in the Monday meeting. And when someone does ask, they can inspect the underlying SQL and data lineage behind every visualization.

You're not building dashboards. You're designing experiences.

Actions let you chain together clicks, filters, and navigation into guided flows – no code required. Set default selections, control which objects or measures appear dynamically, and engineer exactly how users move through the intricacies of your data. Instead of handing them a dashboard template and hoping for the best, you design the path. It feels like exploring an app. It works like one too.

Nothing goes live until you say so.

Draft, version, publish. Your team iterates in private, saves stable snapshots, and pushes to end users only when it's ready. Role-based permissions control who sees what and who builds what. Row-level security is inherited from your warehouse or can be set up per Semantic Layer. Governance isn't a layer you add on top, it's the foundation everything else sits on.

Astrato stands out as a remarkably intuitive platform that strikes an excellent balance between flexibility and powerful data analysis capabilities. It enables users to explore and visualize data freely while still maintaining strong analytical depth and precision, so you don’t have to trade ease of use for rigorous insights.

Legacy BI bingo. Sound familiar?

"Governance was a nightmare"
"It wasn't quite self-service. Just another BI backlog problem"
"You've got to learn a whole different scripting language"
"Someone wants a different view — into the queue"
"Charging industry-leading prices for a product that isn't"
"Hours and hours of manual effort"
"Dashboard sprawl, as we like to call it"
"It doesn't have a lot of the features we would really like"
"Too much logic in the front end"
