Helical Insight

Visualize, Analyze, Be Wise

Helical Insight is an enterprise-grade, FREE open-source Business Intelligence (BI), Reporting, and Embedded Analytics platform delivering a complete unified analytics experience — without licensing fees, feature restrictions, or enterprise paywalls.

Unlike most open-source BI tools that lock advanced capabilities behind paid tiers, Helical Insight provides every enterprise feature free in Community Edition. AI-powered conversational analytics, pixel-perfect paginated reports, interactive dashboards, embedded analytics, Single Sign-On, white-labeling, multi-tenancy, and row-level data security — all included at no cost.

THE DIFFERENCE THAT MATTERS

Most open-source BI platforms reserve SSO, row-level security, and embedding for expensive paid plans. Helical Insight Community Edition includes all of them. Community and Enterprise Editions differ only in branding removal on exports and a dedicated support SLA.

CORE CAPABILITIES AI Conversational Analytics: Chat with your data in plain English. Bring Your Own LLM (OpenAI, Claude, or local Ollama) - data never leaves your infrastructure. Pixel-Perfect Paginated Reports: Invoices, financial statements, regulatory filings, and compliance documents. Modern replacement for Crystal Reports, SSRS, and JasperReports. Interactive Dashboards: Drill-down, drill-through, cross-filtering, and full interactivity like Tableau. Embedded Analytics: Embed dashboards, AI and reports into any application via REST APIs and JavaScript. No per-viewer fees. Enterprise SSO: SAML, JWT, OAuth, Okta, cutom token-based authentication etc supported out of the box. Multi-Tenancy: Serve multiple isolated organizations or customers from a single deployment. Row-Level Data Security: Restrict data access by user, role, organization, or profile. White-Labeling: Full branding customization for OEM, resale, and client deployments. Report Bursting and Scheduling: Auto-generate and send personalized reports to many recipients on a schedule. Flexible Deployment: On-premises, cloud, Docker, Kubernetes, or hybrid. Fully self-hosted.
