Offers dashboards and self-service reports. The report performance is very slow.
Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain Most of our customers are interested in dashboards and self-service reports. We are able to offer them these features with this solution. Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution The report…

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.
* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is the best cloud based BI platform/solution out there."
"Birst provides quick and helpful support on raised queries."

"We found technical support to be very good and responsive."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"My own experience just made me think that this was a hidden cost that they tried to hide, but keeping that in mind, it might only be my experience as to how this surfaced for us, because I had this image of Birst that you pay this amount and get everything."
"The ETL, querying, and user interface did not accommodate our performance requirements."
"Error logging is cumbersome to work through to find issues."
"Release management and version control are poor or not available."
"Owing to the above reasons, we could not make use of the Birst tool productively."
"I would want to see some improvement in the user management module."
"The administration module was built using flash. It is clunky and outdated."
"I would like to see stronger in-built permissions capabilities."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
