Reliable performance enhances operations with good technical support
We run the entire IRS system, the income system, and the tax system. We also manage the entire Absa banking system in Africa. There's a lot of database applications, similar to those used in banks and the IRS The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance. Our system is used…

Data Analytics Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
It's useful for reporting on IoT KPIs, but it isn't as robust or user-friendly as some competing solutions
I was a little disappointed in Dundas. I found other tools like Tableau and Power BI to be more powerful. I intended to use Dundus as an organizational BI tool, but I think there's a significant learning curve with Dundas versus the others. The user experience and UI could also improve. It should be simpler for end users who don't have much technical knowledge. I have an IT background, but I think it might be challenging for anyone who is unfamiliar with databases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"Ingres is the only database solution that has maintained a level of consistency and integrity about the way users interact with it."
"This has saved us a lot of money in the past, as instant status/notification prompts quick reaction from responsible team, and the issue is fixed within the SLA period, saving the company from various penalties."
"If quick dashboards are required without heavy features or customization, and there is no dedicated BI/Analytics developer, then Dundas Dashbaords works fine."
"Dundas is great for creating attractive dashboards that look as though they have been custom designed rather than put together using a BI tool."
"Combining SSAS and Dundas Dashboard has enabled us to consolidate this infrastructure into few very dashboards that offer the flexibility to analyze data by various dimensions quickly and easily."
"With Dundas, we can now enforce a standard using themes so that all the reports have the same look and feel no matter who creates it."
"The ability to drag and drop dimensions into place and the ease of use that the reporting provides."
"I haven't contacted support, but my colleagues said they were satisfied with the response."
"Deployment was very simple and pulling in our SQL queries and stored procedures was a snap."
 

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"I was a little disappointed in Dundas. I found other tools like Tableau and Power BI to be more powerful. I intended to use Dundus as an organizational BI tool, but I think there's a significant learning curve with Dundas versus the others."
"We’ve experienced an unusually large number of bugs in the product since implementation."
"The only improvement we have noticed would be if they could do away with using Silverlight."
"In times of heavy load, the dashboards take a long time to load."
"On occasion, the programme would crash and provided very little in the way of an error report, which was extremely frustrating especially when work was lost as a result."
"Random and obscure errors with poor exception details."
"Dundas is constantly not picking up cube changes when deployed."
"Installing - if someone has installed it using their work email as an ID, and they have moved on, and a new person is hired who needs to upgrade the currently running version, they can't do it."
