Orion by Gravity vs Omni Analytics
Omni gives you a better canvas. Orion gives you the analyst.
Omni modernized the modeling layer. Orion by Gravity goes further. Instead of a better place to build dashboards, Orion eliminates the need to build them in the first place.
The honest comparison
Omni built a modern BI platform with a strong shared modeling layer and code-first approach. Here is where the two products differ.
| Capability | Omni | Orion by Gravity |
|---|---|---|
| Core model | Build dashboards and reports on a shared modeling layer | Autonomous AI analyst that generates decision-ready outputs |
| How insights reach you | You log in, explore data, build views | Orion delivers proactively to Slack, email, and workflows |
| Who builds the analysis | Analysts define views, business users consume dashboards | Orion generates the analysis. Business teams get structured outputs |
| Proactive monitoring | No autonomous monitoring or proactive delivery | Continuous monitoring with automatic root-cause analysis |
| Data modeling | Strong shared modeling layer, code-first governance | Works off your existing models in Looker, dbt, or your warehouse |
| Cross-system synthesis | Single data source exploration | Spans Salesforce, warehouse, BI tools, and more in a single analysis |
| Output format | Dashboards, charts, and explorations | Narrative executive debriefs, revenue briefs, embedded insights |
Where Orion goes further
Omni modernized the dashboard. Orion replaces the need for one.
From pull to push
Omni still requires someone to log in, explore, and build. Orion pushes decision-ready outputs to your team on a schedule, without anyone asking.
Narratives, not dashboards
Omni gives you charts and explorations. Orion gives you written executive debriefs that explain what changed, why it matters, and what to do about it.
Cross-system synthesis
Omni explores one data source at a time. Orion connects to your warehouse, Salesforce, Looker, dbt, and more to build a complete picture in a single analysis.
Works with your existing models
No need to rebuild your semantic layer. Orion reads your existing governed definitions from Looker, dbt, or your warehouse and generates insights on top of them.
The real question
“When a key metric shifts in Omni, how does your team find out?”
The answer is almost always: someone has to go look. Open the dashboard, notice the change, investigate manually. Orion finds it first, explains why, and delivers the briefing before your next meeting.
A better canvas vs. a better analyst
Omni gives your team a modern place to build dashboards. Orion gives your team an autonomous AI analyst that works 24/7. Both value governance. The difference is what happens after the data model is defined. Omni waits for someone to explore. Orion starts investigating.
