Managing complex data hierarchies has improved analytics but still needs richer hierarchy types
To evaluate Cube's efficiency in handling large data volumes, I use metrics including F1 scores, AUC (Area Under the Curve), and RMC (Root Mean Squares), along with RSE (Root Square Errors). These factors help me gauge the efficiency of the algorithms clearly. Regarding improving Cube, I believe that when we are building hierarchies, I should enhance the type of hierarchies. For instance, in a few countries lacking state systems, there could be a hierarchy without proper categorization—such as continent, country, and city. Therefore, it would be beneficial if I could improve the hierarchies to retrieve data as quickly as possible from Cube.

Has a lot of integration and visualization options, but can't be easily used by business users, and working with the color palette is difficult
With Dundas BI, we do not have end-users apart from the developers. End-users do not find it easy to create their own reports. Most of the implementations I have seen require a developer team for creating the visuals, and they then give them to end-users. A self-serve part where end-users or business users can create their own reports would help in terms of the adoption of Dundas BI. Currently, business users find it difficult to work with Dundas BI because there are so many settings that they don't know what they need to do. Even when a developer starts working on Dundas BI, he needs to spend at least one month or so getting used to the functionalities of Dundas BI. Even then, it is not easy to remember where or how they made a certain property change. It takes at least one month for a developer to get acquainted with it. Working with the color palette is difficult in Dundas BI. They can work on different color palettes and make them organized and user-friendly. It would help a long way. Most of the time, the users face challenges in assigning colors to the fields that they have created or to the dimensions and measures in a chart. Dundas can further reduce the number of settings they have. When you create any chart in Dundas, you get a lot of features to control each setting, which is pretty useful for BI, but for end-users, it is difficult to identify the exact settings to change a property. I would love it if some of the options come pre-selected. If some of the settings are set to best practices by default, it will be helpful. Whenever we have any issues, the error messages that we get in Dundas BI are not very helpful in identifying the root cause. Making these changes will bring a lot of change to the end-user experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NPS improved to approximately eight out of ten for our feature, and internally ticket handling times decreased, allowing reallocation of resources to higher-impact projects."
"Implementation was super smooth, and within two weeks we were up and running and the metrics were exposed in our app."
"Cube completes my tasks very easily and takes less time, allowing me to deliver any project in a timely manner to our clients."
"Cube's caching mechanism impacts my database query loads and response times significantly."
"They are brilliant! They will get back to you within a few hours usually and have a custom solution for your particular issue or requirement."
"As we are working as "digital transformakers," this product helped us to transform our clients' businesses to be data-driven, and added business value."
"It was quite easy to use. The UI was basically drag-and-drop based. So, even if you were a beginner at coding software or something else, it would be easy to catch up on Dundas BI."
"Great software, it has a steep learning curve compared to the rest but so much more powerful because of it."
"The primary reasons why the client opted for Dundas BI were the cost, integration options, and creative visuals."
"The Layers feature organizes my work and makes it easier, instead of having to use scripting to show and hide when drilling down."
"End to end enterprise solution where there is only one portal to connect to data, ETL and visualize data in a flexible and interactive way with the ability for users to do their self service analysis."
"Currently Dundas BI enables us to provide more rich and interactive data visualizations for end users and this has helped to show performance issues."
 

Cons

"When it comes to the initial setup of Cube, I faced some challenges, including server issues when uploading data from local sources to the Unipi servers."
"I did not see any return on investment from Cube."
"Cube can be improved by enhancing data refresh over multiple tabs."
"Cube's interface can be challenging for non-technical users, needing clearer use-case examples to ease integration into workflows."
"There is no way to create a real template that is not exposed directly in the UI."
"As with any software there are features that are not operating as expected or that could be improved."
"Some wonky web-based issues but nothing serious."
"Matrix tables. Add them in !!! Currently, they don't do that, and it's hard to create some BI reports due to this."
"I would love to see more functions built in inside the application, instead of being scripted. They already did some of that in the new release, version 5, like forecasting, trend lines, etc., and I would love to see more of these kinds of calculations, which we used to do it by scripts before."
"This product needs incremental in-memory data loading."
"My current preference would be to work with Tableau or Power BI because they're more user intuitive and both have a good user interface."
"For every object, references are generated, but sometimes, there was a problem with the references overlapping each other. Everything would go off. It would stop working, and then from the admin side, people had to do something to bring it up again."
"They still need to add some visualisations and could continue to improve the UI to allow users to easily find what they need within the many different options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm not aware of its cost. Its licensing was probably role-wise. Most of us had reader access, editor access, or developer access. For admin, there were certain restrictions. So, I'm assuming it had role-wise licensing."
"I am not majorly involved in its licensing. We are not the end license purchaser of the Dundas BI. It costs somewhere around $4,000 a year for the enterprise solution, but I am not sure."
