Today, we’re excited to introduce embedded analytics, which lets you integrate the power of Hex into your products. Deliver stunning analytics and insights to your customers in record time — without compromising the look and feel.
Thousands of teams use Hex to build powerful data products. The flexibility to build quickly with code and no-code living together in one project offers unmatched speed and versatility.
But doing the analysis is only half the battle. The rest is making sure everyone else can actually use it. Hex unifies the entire lifecycle of an analytics project, from exploration to collaboration to sharing beautiful, interactive data apps that anyone can use.
Today, we’re taking the next step by allowing you to securely embed these powerful data experiences into your own products to serve your own customers.
With our new embedded analytics product, the flexibility teams know and love about Hex for internal analytics now makes it faster than ever to build and ship customer-facing insights.
Embedded analytics is available as an add-on to the Enterprise plan. Reach out to your rep or request a demo for access.
Drive revenue growth with embedded analytics
Companies today integrate data into their products in all sorts of ways to gain a competitive edge and grow new revenue streams.
But dedicating in-house resources to develop data offerings like usage analytics, external reporting, and forecasting tools is expensive and often means trading off important work on your core product.
That’s where Hex embedded analytics comes in.
The build-or-buy decision has never been easier. With Hex, you can deliver first-class data experiences to your customers at breakneck speed, without relinquishing control over the details that make your product great.
This is made possible by our fast and flexible notebook, paired with our point-and-click app builder for publishing beautiful dashboards and visualizations.
On top of this, we’ve built an all-new Embed API for quick and easy deployment of embedded apps, with support for pass-through authentication, row-level security, and white-labeled custom styling. This allows you to power personalized data experiences — all from a single centralized Hex project.
Now, you can finally ship (and monetize) those analytics features your customers have been begging for!
Build customer-facing analytics in record time
With Hex embedded analytics, you can build and deploy powerful, interactive data apps for your customers or clients in a matter of minutes. No need to build analytics features from scratch when you can leverage your data team’s expertise in building data products, and then easily hand them off to your engineers to embed.
Once in production, embedded analytics enables shorter product development cycles, making it faster and more cost-effective to iterate. This means you can quickly prototype and experiment to build the best product experience for your users.
Securely and seamlessly embed your app
Lightweight and developer-friendly, our new Hex Embed API is built for agile teams. No bulky SDKs or SSO provider integrations — just hand off your beautiful dashboards for quick and easy deployment.
The Embed API works by letting you generate single-use signed URLs to embed in an iframe (i.e., signed embedding), which keeps your content secure and safe from link-sharing or replay attacks.
A single API call handles both pass-through authentication and row-level security, so your customers simply log in to your product for immediate access to only the data they’re supposed to see. In contrast to private embedding, your customers never need to manage a Hex login.
Customization to match your branding
To make the user experience even more seamless, you can customize your embedded app for a white-labeled interface. Apply a custom app theme with your own font and color palette for a branded look and feel that fits in with the rest of your product. (Hex who?)
When you’re done customizing and adjusting display options, preview and test the embedded experience from the perspective of an end user to ensure it meets your team’s quality bar.
Excited about custom app themes? This feature is now available on Team and Enterprise plans.
Scale as you grow
Hex embedded analytics helps you scale in more ways than one. Instead of building and maintaining bespoke dashboards, build one project to power tailored dashboards for all your customers. This means less overhead (your engineers will thank you) and a more consistent user experience across the board.
Our flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model also makes it easy to get started. Quickly prototype new embedded data apps, and scale effortlessly on Hex as you grow your customer base and new revenue streams!
